DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Saturday, May 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.
12:48 GP 2nd MISZLO (#4, 5-1) was hung wide around the turn while catching pretty salty bunch at first asking, the race having produced three next out MSW winners with Beyers ranging from 72-82. Might not be facing that kind for this tag. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:09 GP 6th ETHOS (#2, 5-1) a versatile sort who held own with some good ones at 3 including Price Talk on sod. Works say should be ready off the bench. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:31 LS 3rd MORO SAID READY (#2, 2-1) has speed in an asset that should serve him well as he shortens up in distance. In addition, the race he exits has become a key one. The runner-up came back to win a $7,500 starter allowance at LS with a Beyer of 91 and the fourth-place finisher, SHOTSOFT, a $5K claimer at LS, with a Beyer of 79. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:29 LAD 5th REDIVIVUS (#1, 5-2) has improved his Beyer in every start to date. This gelding ran well two back while pushing the pace and then won from off it in his most recent. We like versatile runners especially those with upside. Rail draw going this distance is a knock. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:32 GP 10th DEM A WONDER (#5, 5-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:55 LAD 6th ITS A CITY DAY (#4, 10-1) has won three times on this sod. This gelding puts races together so there is that. He was sent off at almost 36-1 off the layoff so we are betting he needed that race to some extent. The class drop is just right. Plus, this guy gets a faster pace today than previous. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:34 GP 12th Third time could be the cham for DREAM OF ANFIELD (#7, 8-1) since switching over to Baxter barn. Figures to benefit shortening up to this distance. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:20 LS 10th DECLINED (#2, 12-1) moves back to turf and he put up his best Beyer Speed Figure on the surface - at this five-eighths of a mile distance. This one's dam was a multiple stakes winner of $140K. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
