Nadeau: Play of the Day Saratoga Wed 8.13.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/13/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 7 |
| Race overview | A modest 17.5k N2L for fm3up at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks hot and contested, as there is a trio who want to be involved early, which suggests this could fall apart in the lane. |
| 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 | #7 MELLE MEL (6-5): Stiff class dropper has been facing much better and has been running much faster than these since returning from a brief freshening, drew perfectly, and has the right stalking style to take advantage of what looks like a hot pace. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive win bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 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
