“PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 8/20/26
Featured track Saratoga
Race number 6
Race overview A very weak NYB 45K/N2X for fm3up at 1-mile on the main track.
Pace It looks honest enough, as there are a trio who want to be on or just off the early pace.
Trends A fast main track has been fair throughout the meet, with winners coming from everywhere, including several from off-the-pace.
Best Play #2 VALTELLINA (E): Low hanging fruit here, but this filly has been running in 1 1/8-mile stakes races, including a pair of graded events, so she not only brings a ton of class to the table, but a world of foundation for the cutback too.
Bet Types Aggressive win bet, while getting some added value by singling in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
