Nadeau: Saratoga 7.23.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 7/23/26 | |
| Featured track | Saratoga | |
| Race number | 7 | |
| Race overview | A stakes-worthy OC 110k/C for 4up at 1 1/8 miles on the inner turf. | |
| Pace | It looks on the slow side, as there are no true confirmed front runners, and at this longer distance, expect them to go slow early and sprint off the far turn. | |
| Trends | Weekend rain saturated the turf courses on Saturday and into Sunday and had it playing more towards stalkers and closers, so it’s worth monitoring things early in the week. | |
| Best Play | #5 SALAMIS (5-2) (turf only): Brown charge returned off a November layoff in a tough G3 here in June and simply ran like a horse who needed the race, so with it behind him, and a world of upside ahead of him, he looks primed today. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the early Pk5/Pk4, and middle Pk5 as well. | |
