Nadeau: Saratoga Play of the Day Sun 8.18.24
| “PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau | |
| Date | 8/18/24 |
| Featured track | Saratoga |
| Race number | 9 |
| Race overview | A deep and competitive 14kN3L for 3up at 7Fs on the main track. |
| Pace | While it’s a full field, there’s actually not much here, so having the ability to lay close seems imperative. |
| Trends | There’s not much to go on, but the main track did seem to have an inside/speed feel to it Friday, so make sure to check the charts Saturday, and monitor things early Sunday as well. |
| Best Play | #8 Super Chief (7-2): Maker charge plummets in class second-off the trainer change and has enough tactical speed to be close early, and several of his prior SA runs make him very likely here. |
| Bet Types | Aggressive WP bet and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Play of the Day Winners | Sar Meet: 235-60-54-23 ($1.85/$5.53 through 8/11)
Sar POD: 20-6-8-0 ($1.47/$6.27 through 8/11)
