Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Fri 7.21.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 7/21/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 10 |
| Race overview: | A deep and competitive field of NYB MSWs going 1 1/16 miles on the Mellon turf. |
| Pace: | It’s a bit muddles, as there are some firsters, along with stretch out sprinters, which suggests it could be honest. |
| Trends: | Tactical speed will always play on the turf, as it’s often tough to make up significant ground. |
| Best Play: | #3 MISSION HILL (12-1) (turf only): Mott runner was an even 6th turn sprinting on debut at Belmont, for a barn that rarely cranks them early, and now, off that tightener, you know it’s go-time in a race he likely had in mind all along. |
| Bet Types: | WPS bet and a must-use/potential leverage single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar POD:
