Nadeau: Saratoga 7.26.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 7/26/26 | |
| Featured track | Saratoga | |
| Race number | 9 | |
| Race overview | A stakes-caliber OC 110k/C for 4up at 6 ½ furlongs. | |
| Pace | It looks extremely hot and contested, as more than a few want to fly early, so at a tricky distance, this could fall apart in the lane. | |
| Trends | The main track has been consistent throughout the meet, with winners coming from everywhere. | |
| Best Play | #2 BRINGS THE SMOKE (8-1): Stalker is a G3 winner who wants to beat you, has a stalking gear to sit off the expected hot pace, and will once again offer plenty of value. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and a must-use/aggressive single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
