DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Saturday, December 24, 2022
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.
12:10 GP 1st FORT WILDERNESS (#8, 8-1) bred all over for the turf by War Front out of a Group 1 placed mare and noting several bullets on work tab both on dirt and synthetic surface. Might be good enough to earn diploma right off the bench. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
12:59 TAM 2nd G G’S DARK STAR (#3, 9-2) figures a nice trip off all the speed in here. Trainer stats are good across the board. It is always good when a young horse can put races back to back. First time winners is never easy but this filly has good upside for a hot barn and we’ll roll with that. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:39 GP 4th MISS AURAMET (#4, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:39 GP 6th SARATOGA FLASH (#1, 10-1) in new hands since his last and also the lone three winner in field. Has won two of three at the distance and nicely drawn inside. Lots to like. – mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:59 TAM 7th SKI COUNTY (#1, 12-1) broke dead last in his debut and then passed one runner while never threatening anyone. Great. Huh? We actually like this type of running line as the price will be better for a second start and this colt got needed race experience which counts the most. All 3 sibs beat winners. Works are sharp and well-spaced. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:59 TAM 8th ROCK THE STARS (#2, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:11 GP 9th GOLDEN SODA (#8, 8-1) has been away a long time but with a pretty steady work tab prepping for return. Gets Lasix and a drop against bottom level maiden foes. Might prove winning combo. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
