DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, January 21, 2024
?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.
12:10 GP 1st FROSTED QUEEN (#8, 12-1) is by a 13% debut sire. Her dam went 13-1-2-3 and banked 82K. Of 6 sibs to race, 4 won and all 4 beat winners (128K, 69K, 67K, and 51K). Works are well spaced and plentiful and this first time starter gets a weight break with the apprentice up. – Scott Ehlers | Bet this race with DRF Bets
12:32 TAM 1st THE SWEATY FOX (#7, 8-1) loves this dirt as she has never missed the exacta on it (five starts). She tried this tricky distance two back and ran well even though she was shipping in from Delaware Park (with 3 local works in tow). She adds a full furlong today and draws best so combine that with some tactical speed for a great trip. – Scott Ehlers | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:02 TAM 4th BOLD ADVANCE (#10, 4-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:38 GP 6th LOOKING FOR HOPE (#1, 20-1) never got a breather in her return try and she was buried on the rail going seven panels. She cuts back to a shortened sprint today and now her tactical speed should work better. It wasn't that long ago that this horse was made the favorite in three straight. – Scott Ehlers | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:36 GP 8th SOUPER BLESSING (#7, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:36 GP 10th JOYFUL LASS (#5, 12-1) ran OK in her first two starts but both came on the Tapeta. Her turf Tomlinson is 373 so let's see if the sod is a better fit. Works are perfect and this filly gets first Lasix which is a 22% move for team Pletcher. This filly might show some zip in this spot as there isn't a ton of speed in here. – Scott Ehlers | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:13 SA 8th MYFAVORITEDAUGHTER (#3, 6-1) stretches to a suitable 10-furlong distance following a pair of modest races at one mile. Her top speed figures were earned in 11-furlong turf races last summer at Del Mar, so distance is not a concern. Although she runs best rallying from behind, she is likely to be forwardly placed against this field, which is short on pace. – Brad Free | Bet this race with DRF Bets
