PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  7/11/25 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  A relatively modest renewal of the G3 Coronation for 3yo fillies at 5 ½ furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course. 
   
Pace  It’s a turf sprint, so things figure fast up front, though there’s a chance that #1 MAKE HASTE (2-1) clears off early. 
   
Trends  Though the meet officially started Thursday, but the four-day July 4th Festival showcased a very speedy pair of turf courses. 
   
Best Play  #1 MAKE HASTE (2-1) (turf only): Awesome GP AOC winner sped off wildly and had a ton left late, and while that turf course is a paved highway for speedsters, this one wasn’t much different, so if it’s firm and fast, there’s a good chance she does it again. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well.
