Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sat 8.19.23
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date: | 8/19/2023 |
| Featured Track/Race: | Saratoga – Race 9 |
| Race overview: | A competitive, albeit below average, renewal of the historic G1 Alabama for 3yo fillies going 1 ¼ miles. |
| Pace: | There’s not much here, as #6 Chocolate Gelato (15-1) figures to go on the stretchout, which means #8 RANDOMIZED (9-2) should sit a dream 2-P stalking trip just to her outside. |
| Trends: | The main continues to play fair, though speed should always be preferred, especially sprinting. |
| Best Play: | #8 RANDOMIZED (9-2): Local winner aired over 1m and now draws perfectly outside the speed (#6), catches a relatively meek group, and has a huge tactical edge on the favorite (#2 Wet Paint) as well. |
| Bet Types: | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| POD/Meet Stats: | Sar Meet Overall (through 8/13: 241-55-49-40 ($1.65/$4.98)
Sar POD (through 8/13): 20-3-4-2 ($1.31 /$3.72)
