Play of the Day – August 12th 2021
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 12, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 8 |
| Overview | A compact AOC for older where everyone can win, but where none of the favorites really inspire either. |
| Pace | It should be honest, as both #3 and #4 want to go, and #6 CHOCOLATE BAR (4-1) won’t be too far back either, but it doesn’t look overly fast either. |
| Trends | The main track played decidedly to early speed over the weekend, so being close seems imperative. |
| Best Bet | CHOCOLATE BAR |
| Number | 6 |
| Morning Line | (4-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #6 CHOCOLATE BAR (4-1): Intriguing sort tried the main after 13 turf attempts to start is career and was a strong and fast 3rd, albeit in the slop, but if he can handle dry land, he’ll have a huge shot against a group that has an underachieving label to it. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and a must-use in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
