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. Post Time: 2:51 ET Track: Monmouth (5th Race) Horse: CHUCK WILLIS (#5, 9-2) CHUCK WILLIS sure looks to be the main speed, and that is always dangerous, especially over this particular strip, of course; if he gets clear early, as expected, it would be no surprise to see him take them a long way, as he's proven to be tough to reel in given that tactical advantage. – Kenny Peck | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 2:58 ET Track: Gulfstream (5th Race) Horse: SPEED CONTROL (#2, 6-1) SPEED CONTROL figures a big price. He just blew up the tote at 34-1. Aren't those starts two and three back better than they look? This guy pushed the pace in one and we know he is better off the pace. He broke a step slow in his other start. It seems that a mile is his best distance and there is even some pace to chase in here. – Scott Ehlers | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:30 ET Track: Woodbine (5th Race) Horse: EQUITY (#1, 9-2) EQUITY doesn't have a win-early pedigree, but the gray/roan showed speed from the gate in his April 25 work and could take some catching with a clean break from the tricky one-hole. – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 3:38 ET Track: Belmont at the Big A (6th Race) Horse: DEMOCRACY DEFENDER (#5, 6-1) DEMOCRACY DEFENDER is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 4:40 ET Track: Belmont at the Big A (8th Race) Horse: KAZ OIL CHANGER (#8, 8-1) Wouldn't mind seeing KAZ OIL CHANGER try some less aggressive tactics in this spot as he turns back, though think he is going to appreciate getting back to a mile, regardless; he has run well from off the pace in the past, and breaking toward the outside offers his rider some options; sticking with him at a price. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 5:11 ET Track: Belmont at the Big A (9th Race) Horse: ORTUS (#4, 8-1) Siding with the more lightly-raced runners in the finale, while realizing they have to improve to defeat their more established (and faster) rivals. ORTUS is now 7 years old but has only 13 starts behind him. He ran well in his first two starts for this trainer last year while in the claiming ranks; was outside from a wide draw in that race that was run at the wrong distance two back; he was brought back on short rest for his next start, where he was involved on a solid pace in a race that went to closers; might get overlooked for an underrated trainer. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 5:27 ET Track: Churchill Downs (10th Race) Horse: LADY SYBIL (#7, 12-1) LADY SYBIL is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get Past Performances for this race Post Time: 7:37 ET Track: Santa Anita (8th Race) Horse: COMEDY TOWN (#7, 5-1) COMEDY TOWN, compromised by a pace duel after breaking from the rail last out, moves to the outside post as most likely winner of this N1X/optional claiming sprint. He meets less speed this time, and from the outside post figures for an in-the-clear trip setting or pressing the pace. He can win by reproducing his runner-up finish at this level two starts back. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race
