PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  8/7/25 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A tremendous renewal of the 150k Galway for 3yofs at 5 ½ furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course. 
   
Pace  It looks supersonic on paper, as there are several here who want to fly early, which suggests this could fall apart in the lane. 
   
Trends  A firm, fast turf course is always going to slant towards speed, but with so much signed on here, even this seems like it’s going to be won from off-the-pace. 
   
Best Play  #11 LOVE CERVERE (7-2) (turf only): Versatile filly has won two in a row and showed a lot more speed at WO last time, has an ace turf sprint rider in Rosario, goes for a white-hot Clement barn, and looks primed to take advantage of the expected wild splits up front. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
