Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Fri 7.18.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 7/18/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A tremendous N1X for 3yos at 1 1/16 miles on the Mellon Turf. |
| Pace | It’s a full field, with more than a few who have shown an affinity to run on or just off the pace, so things figure to be honest up front. |
| Trends | The rains, and therefore limited us of the turf, has basically rendered this an “N/A,” though a firm course is going to play to speed more often than not, so monitor the weather. |
| Best Play | #1 ASBURY PARK (9-5) (turf only): Homebred returned from a long layoff to dominate maidens consummate ease over the course/distance last month, drew perfectly down inside, and has the look of the next turf superstar for Brown. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 42-11-12-8 ($1.76/$5.95 ROI through 7/13)
Sar POD: 3-0-1-0
