DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Friday, February 14, 2025

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.

1:10 AQU 1st HAWKSTONE (#1, 6-1) is a DRF (Mike Beer).

1:24 GP 3rd GLORY HALLELUJAH (#6, 6-1) makes third start and first on dirt as part of a field loaded with faint-hearted speed types. Last work on dirt promising enough to give her top billing for this tag. – Mike Welsch

1:30 OP 1st The card is highlighted by an allowance sprint that drew five stakes winners in the field of six. In the opener, A DOLLAR A DAY (#4, 4-1) is appealing on class as she faced steeper last time. She also draws an improved post over her most recent out. – Mary Rampellini

2:04 AQU 3rd POWERFULLY BUILT (#4, 6-1) was off the layoff last month when showing good speed before weakening late in a race he likely needed; 10-time winner doesn't need the lead, but he can make it here and is hard on this field with his good race. – Mike Beer

3:04 AQU 5th INDIANQUEST (#1, 15-1) shaped with some potential early on before being routed to turf for some reason; endured a couple of tough, wide trips around two turns when stretched out recently, and he had little chance in that last one when away from the pace over a track that was carrying speed; better than he looks and should be a fair price. – Mike Beer

3:11 OP 4th STUCK N SNOW (#5, 15-1) is appealing from a class standpoint as he has seen steeper. – Mary Rampellini

3:44 GP 7th FLY THE W (#9, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch).

4:14 GP 8th LILY BIRD (#8, 6-1) comes off best yet on graduation day from a Beyer standpoint and nicely spotted back for same kind making first start with winners. Appears to be holding that form nicely off recent bullet drill on dirt. – Mike Welsch

6:23 OP 10th ONE WAY OR ANOTHER (#12, 10-1) is on top of her game as she's seeking her third straight win. – Mary Rampellini
