DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Saturday, October 22, 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.
12:25 GP 1st KING ALFREDO (#2, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:32 KEE 2nd ROYAL DAME (#8, 10-1) broke from the rail, lacked speed, muddled along for fourth in a potentially useful debut. Shows a $27K purchase price, debuted for $150,000, comes back for the same very high tag – the very competent barn clearly values her. Expecting a meaningful second-out step forward. – Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:22 WO 3rd TARA LUNA (#8, 8-1) rallied five-wide for fourth when shortening up to a long sprint on the Tapeta two weeks ago. She was previously in solid inner turf form and should be dangerous despite moving up from $25K to compete against OS/$40K maidens here under Campos. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:01 WO 6th MILLIE GIRL (#5, 4-1) won her first two starts, both going seven-eighths on the main turf, and didn’t disgrace herself most recently when a wide third in a two-turn Tapeta route at this level. She’s going on Lasix and 1 1/16 miles on the main course should be right up her alley. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:44 KEE 8th HIGGINSON (#5, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:40 WBS (Harness) 6th SLAY (#3, 3-1) was winning the Canadian Trotting Classic despite going off stride at the head of the lane when last seen here two starts back. He was parked forever uncovered in the Kentucky Futurity and was still beaten less than three lengths. He gets top billing here. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
