DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Friday, October 15, 2021

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.

1:50 LRL 3rd With just a couple of starts EL BOCHINCHE (#7, 6-1) could have plenty of upside and could be sitting on a big race first off the claim by Robb. She is stepping up in price after finishing third as the chalk, but she got squeezed back leaving from the inside post and finished with determination. She gets off the rail, and with blinkers going on she will likely show more speed. -Randy Goulding | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:58 GP 3rd UKIYO (#4, 20-1) and ROYAL ROCKER uncoupled mates from barn that has been red hot over the new Tapeta surface. Former certainly the value play of the pair. Was thought of enough to try stakes company in her debut and she's got a whole bunch of turf winners in the family. Could be a sleeper if taking to the all-weather. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:08 KEE 5th BODENHEIMER (#1, 12-1) might be quicker, if he breaks sharply, than main pace rival INTO THE SUNRISE, and he can be a dangerous horse if able to clear on the lead. Wired the Indian Summer turf sprinting on the KEE course last fall and while he hasn't developed all that much at age 3, the price will be right to guess he has at least one forward move in him. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:40 KEE 6th BIG BUGG'S GIRL (#3, 8-1) had some trouble in lone previous start and the barn in any case rarely wins with first-time starters. Shows a $15K purchase price and first tag is $50,000, a good sign especially when coupled with the recent KEE bullet gate drill. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:06 GP 7th CUESTION DE TIEMPO (#7, 5-1) far and away the winningest member of this field, having done all that damage on grass. Good fit for this tag if handling the surface switch. Barn currently tied for local lead in Tapeta wins with Casse stable. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:12 KEE 7th ENOLA GAY (#7, 8-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:27 LRL 8th MO NORMAL (#3, 9-2) chased an honest pace while going wide and just missed finishing second in a race won by a horse that rallied from well back. She seems better suited to this distance and should get a nice trip from a forward position while wearing blinkers for the first time. -Randy Goulding | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:31 SA 2nd Although AFFABLE (#6, 5-1) is a five-start maiden who often falls short of expectations, he is fast on figures and ran well all three times he sprinted on dirt. His last-out turf misfire, a route that produced four winners, is disregarded. AFFABLE returns to dirt, shortens to his preferred sprint distance and gets the call in a deep maiden race. -Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:44 KEE 8th CODE NAME KATE's (#7, 6-1) sparkling career debut suggests this start, her first since June, is a good time to play her at a price - as do those very fast recent works. Hooked, cooked, and didn't stay two turns in her second out and the last pre-layoff race is a throwout with all the trouble. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:52 BEL 9th HORN OF PLENTY's (#3, 5-1) turf debut prior to the layoff in May came vs. better and that effort was better than it looks while getting caught in traffic in the stretch; second off the layoff and back to turf for the first time since, this time on the drop. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:13 WO 2nd SAN NICOLA STAR (#6, 6-1) raced four-wide throughout before surging late to finish a close second when dropping to the bottom NW2 level in her latest. A repeat of that performance could be good enough to get the job done in his higher race. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:20 WO 6th DANGER (#1, 4-1) finished a clear second behind a sharp dropper last ime when claimed for $25K. She's changing turf tracks to the inner course off the Drexler claim in this NW3 OS/$40K tilt around two turns, and should be prominent if she stays in the zone. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:26 MED 2nd FORGOTTEN MISSION (#10, 6-1) makes his first start vs. winners but he's a solid fit with these, and his proven speed is a big plus; stopped on a loose lead two back but he had to work hard to clear that field, and he does figure to benefit from this cutback in distance. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:53 MED 3rd SUPER SHOES (#10, 10-1) has had his chances at earning that diploma (12) but this will be only his third try on the grass, and while he was well off the board in those efforts he raced with blinkers in those races, and he clearly improved once he removed the hood; against the race flow in each of her last three, efforts that are better than they may appear on the surface. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
