Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Fri 8.29.25
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/29/25 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 6 |
| Race overview | An extremely deep and competitive 17.5k N3L for fm3up at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track. |
| Pace | It looks honest, as more than a few here want to be close early on, especially a pair that’s drawn out wide. |
| Trends | A fast main track played very fair over Travers Weekend, as winners came from everywhere, including a few out of the back too. |
| Best Play | #8 SAILAWAY (5-1): Rice claim (20%) cuts back after easily beating N2L foes last time, has plenty of foundation off all those two-turn routes, and should trip out perfectly just off the speed. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet, and single in all the horizontal exotics as well. |
