Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Thurs 8.27.26
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/27/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 3 |
| Race overview | A compact OC 110k/C for 4up at 1-mile on the inner turf course. |
| Pace | It looks honest, and potentially hot and contested, as there are more than a few who want to be close and involved early on. |
| Trends | A firm turf course has played fair throughout the meet, with winners using all running styles. |
| Best Play | #3 CAPITAL HILL (8-5) (turf only): Stiff class dropper has been facing stakes foes of late, so this crew will be tons easier, and his closing style should get set up by the expected honest pace. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 343-68-58-49 ($1.47/$4.55 through 8/16)
Sar POD: 32-8-3-6 ($1.45/$4.07 through 8/16)
