Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Thurs 8.14.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/14/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 1 |
| Race overview | A competitive MSW for fm3up at 1 1/8 miles on the main track. |
| Pace | These 1 1/8-miles main track routes usually crawl early, so expect a bunched group that will sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | The main track continued to play more to off-the-pace runners last week, continuing a trend that (you would think) may turn soon. |
| Best Play | #3 DANZIT (9-5): Pletcher charge was a solid 2nd to an easy winner off a 14-month layoff, while delivering an effort that betters anything anyone here has done so far, so with an expected move forward off a return she needed, she figures too tough for these. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single to kick off the early Pk5 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 244-70-50-36 ($2.06/$5.70 ROI through 8/3)
Sar POD: 21-3-4-1
