Play of the Day
Race Date August 29, 2021
Track Saratoga
Race 8
Overview A bigtime AOC with a potential superstar in #2 Beau Liam (4-5), but he could also regress and will have to work hard early, which may set it up for someone late.
Pace It looks hellacious, and that includes the stiff favorite #2 Beau Liam (4-5), who will have to run hard every step of the way, and that might leave him vulnerable late to the one worthwhile stalker/closer in #9 COST BASIS (8-1).
Trends You better be close on this main track, but this one has the look of a race that could fall apart, provided all the speed stays in.
Best Bet COSY BASIS
Number 8
Morning Line (8-1)
Best Bet Overview #8 COSY BASIS (8-1): Brown runner will need to improve, but the 3rd her last time was off a long break, so he should move forward, and with all the gar up front, that should flatter him too.
Picks & Plays WP bet, EXBX with #2, and a must-use in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
