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. Post Time: 1:10 ET Track: Aqueduct (1st Race) Horse: D'S A ROCK's (#1, 5-1) D'S A ROCK's new trainer is excellent off the claim, though doubt the plan included an 8+ month layoff after taking her for $32k at Saratoga last summer; she ran well in that most recent start, after finding career-best form at Finger Lakes prior to shipping in; can go with these horses if ready off the bench, and her speed plays in this race. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 1:52 ET Track: Woodbine (2nd Race) Horse: MI TORMENTA (#7, 8-1) MI TORMENTA has a history of running competitively when fresh. Going back five years, trainer Ross Armata had a 21% strike rate with 61-180 day comebackers ($4.46 ROI). – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 2:58 ET Track: Gulfstream (5th Race) Horse: LOBO GO (#2, 9-2) LOBO GO returns to main and getting a mulligan for dull showing last time in Tapeta bow. Had wire to wire maiden win five weeks earlier flattered when runner-up came back to defeat maiden $30K company with 70 Beyer in his subsequent outing. Might just prove too fast for these. – Mike Welsch | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:16 ET Track: Aqueduct (5th Race) Horse: UNMIZTAKEN (#6, 5-1) Thought UNMIZTAKEN ran pretty well in the debut sprinting on this surface, as she was challenged on the lead throughout, and only weakened in the late stages as the 1-2 finishers rallied from off the pace; she handled dirt fine in two subsequent starts, but she is bred for this, and can improve quickly back on turf if ready off the bench. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:40 ET Track: Keeneland (6th Race) Horse: CANDY ROCKETTE (#8, 9-2) CANDY ROCKETTE is 2-2 in bad breaks, though the last one wasn't nearly as compromising as her debut. Never close in that race but actually turned in the fastest final quarter-mile. She was somewhat wide with a touch of cover on the first turn last out, wide with no cover on the second turn, and managed to win that GP turf-route MSW with a trip that's really hard to overcome on that course. It's all upside as she stretches out to a distance that should suit her even better. – Marcus Hersh | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:48 ET Track: Aqueduct (6th Race) Horse: NOWUCME NOWUDONT (#9, 5-1) NOWUCME NOWUDONT is a DRF Best (Mike Beer). | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:04 ET Track: Woodbine (6th Race) Horse: SUPER SICILY (#3, 7-2) SUPER SICILY was in fine Tapeta sprint form at Gulfstream before a flat fourth there most recently going long. DePaulo has pretty good stats with turnbacks and this one could be along in time under Longshot Leo, who won twice on him last fall. – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:27 ET Track: Oaklawn (6th Race) Horse: CRUPPER (#7, 20-1) Triple Crown nominee CRUPPER makes his stakes debut in the Bathhouse Row and brings a nice foundation of route races into the mile and an eighth stakes that carries a berth for the Preakness. This one has never finished worse than third in his two-turn starts - all at Oaklawn - and is from a Grade 3-winning mare who overall won eight stakes and earned $1.1 million. She also has produced a multiple stakes winner in She's All Wolfe ($755K). CRUPPER might get an ideal stalking trip off a few of these. – Mary Rampellini | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:34 ET Track: Laurel (10th Race) Horse: NEAT (#8, 5-1) NEAT is a DRF Best Bet (Patrick Moquin). | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 5:16 ET Track: Keeneland (9th Race) Horse: STARS AND STRIPES (#1, 4-1) The more I looked at STARS AND STRIPES - and believe me, I looked a lot; old workouts, new workouts, all his races - the more I thought he's really pretty good and about to get better. Think that he was shipped to OP for his allowance-race win (better visually than on paper) because the timing worked well into this race, and his work pattern plus video since that start offer encouraging signs. The most recent drill was just a solo 3f, but I loved it. I'm pitching the Dwyer - didn't look like the same horse around that time. Was just getting going at 9f last time and the added half-furlong is his friend. – Marcus Hersh | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 7:05 ET Track: Santa Anita (7th Race) Horse: KING OF GOSFORD (#3, 7-2) G1-winning comebacker KING OF GOSFORD is the choice to win this G3 turf mile while making his first start since summer. However, this race is a prep for the G1 Shoemaker Mile in late May, therefore not a "must-win." 'GOSFORD has trained well for his return; he finished second in this stakes last year while returning from a four-month layoff. His current layoff was due to leg cuts sustained in a summer G2 at Del Mar. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 8:05 ET Track: Santa Anita (9th Race) Horse: MARIAN CROSS (#7, 5-1) MARIAN CROSS gets a beneficial rider switch to Jaramillo after a second consecutive bad trip at this N1X turf sprint level. She checked and lost position start of a similar race, gradually worked forward, then lost her punch late. If she breaks better under her new rider, the front-runner/pace-presser can win this hillside sprint with an up-front trip. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race Looking for more action?
