DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, August 13, 2023
?q=100)
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.
12:40 MTH 1st M B’s MUNNING (#7, 6-1) did little in his debut but he did get some play when sent off at 4-1. His sire gets 10% debut turf winners. His dam (mom) went 12-1-2-3 on the grass and banked 106K. Two of four sibs won on the grass and both beat winners (192K and 153K). Team Potts is 25% with new runners. There is very little pace in this race so anyone that can show some zip will have an advantage. Works are well spaced and this colt gets Lasix for the first time. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:42 WO 4th DIAMOND HEIST (#7, 15-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:58 MTH 6th HOPESNDREAMS (#11, 10-1) is by a 19% debut sire (all sire stats are for 2YO's only). Her dam went 11-3-1-0 and earned 27K. Of 7 sibs to race, 6 won and 4 beat winners (98K, 184K, 53K, and 49K). Works are well spaced and those drills on July 23rd and 9th hint at ability. This filly gets in light and draws fine. - Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:26 SAR 5th CLEVER THOUGHT (5-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:10 SAR 6th ECHO LAKE (#5, 4-1) made a nice appearance pre-race before her scheduled debut was canceled on Wednesday; filly by new sire Catalina Cruiser (2 debut winners so far) went an easy 10.2 before selling for $40k in May, and she is from the female family of Classic Elegance (second dam) who was a multiple graded stakes winner as a 2yo. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:45 GP 9th SHANKAR (#8, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mary Rampellini). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:54 WO 8th My SEATTLE CAUSEWAY (#1, 12-1) blew away older conditioned claimers last time on the grass before getting her number taken down for interference in the stretch. She earned the second-highest route Beyer in this field (79) when a front-running second in her last Tapeta start under Salles May 29, and has worked strongly heading into this restricted stakes. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
