Play of the Day – August 27th, 2022
| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 27, 2022 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 13 |
| Overview | A relatively modest N1X for f/ms going long on turf, especially for the Travers Card, which means this is a race there for the taking. |
| Pace | Don’t expect much heat up front, especially in this day and age on the NYRA circuit where everyone takes back, which means this will likely be a bunched sprint off the far turn. |
| Trends | Dropping out the back on the inner turf isn’t a great idea, as speed usually plays well, though the course has played a bit more neutral this year than in years past. |
| Best Bet | SALIMAH |
| Number | 6 |
| Morning Line | (7-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #6 SALIMAH (7-2) (turf only): Slow figures be damned, her Tampa debut was absolutely AWESOME and this is vintage Brown, to bring these types back at the Spa, where they routinely make a mockery of slow (and seemingly overmatched) speed figures. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WPS bet and single to end 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) |
