Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Monday 9.4.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 9/4/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A very meek MSW for 3up sprinting 5 ½ Fs on the Mellon Turf. |
| Pace: | There’s doesn’t seem to be an abundance (for a turf sprint), so you will want to be close early, which flatters #3 AMERICAN KNOW HOW (5-2), who can be on or just off the early lead. |
| Trends: | They just haven’t run enough on the turf, though the firmer course of late seemingly has been a bit speedy. |
| Best Play: | #3 American Know How (5-2) (turf only): Versatile sort has run well in his last two—which both came over the course—and, as important as that, the rest of these just don’t seem like much. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar Meet Overall (through 8/27): 344-83-71-56 ($1.71/$5.17)
Sar POD (through 8/27): 28-5-6-4 ($1.78/$4.86) |
