DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, January 2, 2022

DRF Staff|Jan 01, 2022
Green Light Go (No. 2) finishes second in the Fall Highweight at Aqueduct
Susie Raisher/NYRA Green Light Go (No. 2) came up a head short of beating Hopeful Treasure in the Fall Highweight on Nov. 28.

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.

12:50 AQU 2ndPlenty of time and three published works since these connections claimed MO MISCHIEF (#2, 5-1) last out, and they’re coming back for the same $25K tag. That all seems positive, plus there’s first-time gelding to consider. Won easily for this tag three back and with an alert break, he could wire this bunch. – Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:30 OP 1st SIP (#7, 6-1) gets the nod in the opener. She’s making her first start against fellow Arkansas-breds, and she has recency on a number of these. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:20 AQU 7th BIG TONY’S GIRL’s (#6, 8-1) $25K maiden win last April shows she’s good enough to contend at this $15K N2L claiming, and she’s the fresh horse in this race coming off a four-month break. Showed up on worktab for competent layoff barn Nov. 6 and could easily be fit enough to make a run into a decent pace. – Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:37 GP 7th CHROME FINISH (#5, 9-2) found restricted foes more to his liking and did so at 10-1. Or…this is a horse for course before anyone knows it. Second time this surface can only help and this gelding has some speed. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:11 GP 8th KANTSTAROS (#7, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:13 OP 9th FAN CLUB (#9, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mary Rampellini). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:35 SA 6th OTTAWA FIRE (#7, 5-1) gets the call in this competitive N3L starter allowance turf route. He was claimed for #32K from a sharp N2L win last out, and figures as the one to beat, if he runs two alike. But, this field is deep. – Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
