PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  7/31/25 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  9 
   
Race overview  A solid renewal of the 150k John Morrissey for NYBs 3up at 7Fs on the main track. 
   
Pace  There’s not much here, which means the favorite #9 Whatchatalkinabout (2-1), and #2 BANK FRENZY (3-1) should be chasing just off of him. 
   
Trends  A fast main track continued to play towards speed, especially in sprints, though it was sloppy on Sunday, so continue to monitor it as the racing week evolves. 
   
Best Play  #2 BANK FRENZY (3-1): Expected pace presser just won going 1 1/8 miles but has shown enough speed sprinting to be close early, has a world of foundation for this tricky 7Fs, and figures a better price than his main (only?) rival as well. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
