DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, February 6, 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.
12:00 GP 1stLooking for the newly gelded BUT I DID (#2, 5-1) to fare better than in his first two when returning from a layoff for former Bernie Bond asst. H.G. Motion; ground-saving ride under Paco might be enough in what shapes up as a pretty contentious noon ET opener. – Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:20 AQU 2nd WHAT’S MY CATEGORY (#2, 8-1) improved once stretched out late last year at Finger Lakes while earning better figures, and he was game to close down the speedy Purple Hearted; landed in a tough $35K/three-life field two back, then got wired by an odds-on favorite when turned back in the slop last time. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:40 TAM 4th HARROW (#7, 4-1) Faded to finish a distant fifth after getting hung out wide on the first turn last time in a maiden special on the dirt. His lone turf race in December wasn’t awful, and the son of decent turf route sire Lea is going to $25K here for trainer with a 13% strike rate with droppers from maiden special to maiden-claiming company going back five years ($0.88 ROI). – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:18 AQU 4th DANCE CODE (#4, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:31 GP 6th Stabbing with one of the Fausto firsters in OXOMOC (#5, 12-1), whose connections brought you the soon-to-be-named f-m champ Letruska and whose bloodlines/works say she could be awfully quick; toteboard should yield valuable clues. – Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:11 TAM 7th PREPARE FOR GLORY (#2, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:55 AQU 7th ELECTRIC YOUTH (#1, 6-1) was given a couple of months off after the Rudy claim, before coming back with two strong late-running efforts sprinting on the class rise; needs some pace, but she may have found herself over these shorter distances and looks like a nice fit right back. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:11 GP 9th Turf sure seems worth trying with BAGBOSS (#7, 5-1) given the way this Speightstown 4yo seems yet to have maximized his potential; colt regressed a bit in his local bow 5 Sundays ago, but might well appreciate this shorter run and the move over the grass; getting Irad perhaps a hint of intent from BrenP. – Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
