PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                  
Date 9/3/26
Featured track Saratoga
Race number 6
 
Race overview A deep and competitive N1X for fm3up at 5 ½ furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course.
 
Pace Oddly enough, for a turf sprint, there’s not that much heat up front, which hints that you better be able to lay close early.
Trends The turf has played fair all meet, with winners coming from all over, though sprints are typically going to be won by forward runners.
Best Play #3 SILSBEE (8-5) (turf only): The horse to beat also has a huge recency edge on her two main (ML) rivals (#1 and #3), who have been off for 14 months and 12 months, respectively, and her speed will play here, not to mention she had a nightmare trip last time.
Bet Types Aggressive WP, and single in the middle Pk5/Pk4, and to kick off the late Pk5 as well.
