Play of the Day – August 26th 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 26, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 9 |
| Overview | A very strong NYB AOC sprinting 7Fs with a strong favorite in #3 Key Point (2-1), though he could be vulnerable as he hasn’t been out since May and rises in class. |
| Pace | For a full field there’s not a ton here, so tactical speed seems at a premium, at the very least. |
| Trends | The main track has been very fair for the majority of the meet, though on such a big weekend it bears watching, as it could be hard and fast—and therefore playing to speed. |
| Best Bet | ANEJO |
| Number | 12 |
| Morning Line | (6-1) |
| Best Bet Overview | #12 ANEJO (6-1): Class dropper was 2nd to a likely future stakes winner in an open N1X last time—with trouble to boot—and now, off that tightener, he should be primed for a big move forward. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet, strong Ex over #3 with a smaller backup underneath, and a must-use in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
| Stats | Sar POD: 28-1-4-2 ($1.29/$3.81 ROI through 8/21) Sar Meet: 296-69-53-41 ($1.61/$4.98 ROI through 8/21) |
