Nadeau: Saratoga 7.29.26 Play of the Day
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | ||
| Date | 7/29/26 | |
| Featured track | Saratoga | |
| Race number | 7 | |
| Race overview | A solid OC 80k/N2X for fm3up at 1 1/8 miles on the Mellon Turf. | |
| Pace | It looks honest enough, as there are a few want o be close throughout, at what can be a demanding distance. | |
| Trends | Oddly enough, the turf had a very off-the-pace feel this weekend, with stalker/closers prevailing more often than not. | |
| Best Play | #3 TIME TO DREAM (3-1) (turf only): Pletcher closer gets some much-needed class relief after not being up to par in the 3yof G1/G2 ranks, also gets Lasix—which is huge—and should get an honest pace to rally into, over a course that’s been playing to her style. | |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. | |
