DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Friday, March 15, 2024

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 GP 1st STABLE STORM (#4, 10-1) flashed speed following poor start, faded late now shows up in new hands for 3yo bow. Gets Lasix, working well enough to maybe steal this one on front end with a clean beginning. – Mike Welsch

1:20 AQU 1st JAYLA (#5, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer).

1:40 GP 2nd PARADE RING (#1, 6-1) back to a sprint for second start of current form cycle. Showed much promise at first asking last summer at the Spa when 3rd of 10 in debut and just a neck behind next out MSW turf winner Ever So Sweet. – Mike Welsch

3:39 GP 6th SONADORA GIRL (#5, 10-1) a new face in a race from which most of key contenders lost out to 45-1 Platinum Rock last time. Blew out big half mile for this. Might not look back if able to show same speed that produced near miss for higher tag on Tapeta during the fall. – Mike Welsch

4:50 OP 7th AIN'T THAT A KICK (#4, 12-1) figures to make good use of the added ground he picks up in what is a competitive race. – Mary Rampellini

6:36 SA 6th ISSA COURT (#2, 6-1) stretches back to her preferred two-turn trip after she chased and tired in a downhill sprint. She runs best in slower-tempo routes; her last three routes (on dirt and turf) produced a win and two seconds. Tepid choice with a pressing trip in this Cal-bred allowance turf mile. – Brad Free
