DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Friday, June 27, 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.

3:52 MTH 5th ATTA PARTY (#7, 5-1) gets back on the grass for the first time since September of 2023, when he won a five-furlong sprint at Remington, dueling for the lead from the start and holding on late for game score, earning a 90 Beyer along the way, beating a rival (Ocelot) who has 10 turf wins to his credit. His only other try on the green came three months prior, at Louisiana, and he won that $20,000 claimer for non-winners of three by 1 1/2 lengths, posting a 74 Beyer; most of his races in the interim were at Oaklawn and Prairie Meadows, two tracks without turf course, but he should relish this return to the lawn. – Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

4:28 GP 8th DERBYTIME D (#6, 6-1) showed some interest early in her debut and then called it a day. She got needed race experience and that is what counts the most. She tried the local dirt in her second start and the improvement was obvious. Connections find a logical spot to face first time winners and get an outside post again. This barn is 30% with their horses that won their last race. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race

8:10 LRC 9th POKERKNIGHTATVEES (#9, 10-1) dueled before fading to fourth at SA June 1 but not only did he duel it was his first try on turf and first action in three months. There's no layoff issue this time and he's back to dirt. In fact, he got his diploma on this very dirt last fall. – Michael Hammersly | Get PPs for this race
