| Play of the Day | |
| Race Date | August 05, 2021 |
| Track | Saratoga |
| Race | 3 |
| Overview | A very competitive 25k claimer with several classy droppers. |
| Pace | It doesn’t look overly heated for a turf sprint, so tactical speed should be at a premium. |
| Trends | There’s been so few races on firm turf that it’s a bit tough to tell how the course has played, though this should play on the fair side. |
| Best Bet | MYSTERY MESSENGER |
| Number | 6 |
| Morning Line | (5-2) |
| Best Bet Overview | #6 MYSTERY MESSENGER (5-2) (turf only): Slight class dropper looks like a smart claim by Falcone (27%), as he was just 2nd for 32k off an extended break and now gets to run second-off for 55k, so don’t view this dip to 25k as a negative at all. |
| Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and single in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well. |
