Nadeau: Saratoga 7.25.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 7/25/26 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 10 |
| Race overview | A solid renewal of the G1 Coaching Club American Oaks for 3yo fillies at 1 1/8 miles. |
| Pace | There’s not much on paper, with the exception of #7 DIRECTIVE
(6-1), who looks loose, over a trip that can carry her kind. |
| Trends | The main track has been consistent throughout the meet, with winners coming from everywhere. |
| Best Play | #7 DIRECTIVE (6-1): The “other” Brown filly looks like the controlling speed, already owns a win over the track/distance, has a world of upside, and will offer plenty of risk/reward on the class rise. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/aggressive single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 109-19-16-16 ($1.41/$4.34 ROI through 7/19)
Sar POD: 10-3-1-4 ($1.50/$5.02 ROI through 7/19)
