PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  7/13/25 
   
Featured track  Saratoga  
   
Race number  10 
   
Race overview  A full field of 3up NYB 50k MCL’s at 1-mile on the inner turf. 
   
Pace  It looks on the modest side, as there’s not much confirmed on paper, which suggests you need to be able to lay close early. 
   
Trends  Rains have put some give into the turf, and limited the availability as well, so it’s tough to decipher much so far, though once it gets firm and fast again, it will play to speed, especially on the inner. 
   
Best Play  #10 PROFESSOR GRACE (4-1) (turf only): MS dropper got to the turf last time and really woke up with a solid 4th, has enough tactical speed to negate this wide draw, meets several with no speed, and should only improve off that initial endeavor. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP bet and single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
