DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, November 10, 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 AQU 1st MAJESTIC ARC (#1, 12-1) didn't run poorly at all when landing in a fast-paced race at this level off the layoff last time; was in good form when properly spotted earlier in the year, and his speed plays in this spot. – Mike Beer
1:10 AQU 3rd SWEETEST PRINCESS (#3, 8-1) is best from off the pace and lands in a race that might set up well for her as she returns to dirt off the claim for the underrated Abreu - 11 for his last 56 off the claim, 20%, $3.19 ROI; contends with her good race and picks up Irad for this. – Mike Beer
1:20 GP 3rd STICKY MCSHNICKENS (#8, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers).
AQU 4th SCUTTLEBUZZ (#5, 15-1) is getting up there in age but he is a back-classer, and he looked good winning his return to turf at Saratoga three starts back dipped into the claiming ranks; has gotten away from the gate poorly in both starts since, and actually ran an underrated racd two back through a very tough trip; isn't an entry this time which should lead to a better price. – Mike Beer
3:40 AQU 8th BLUSH (#4, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer).
3:46 GP 8th IF NOT FOR LUCK (#11, 8-1) is by a 10% debut turf sire. His dam never tried the green. One of two sibs won on the grass. His last race came back key when 3 of 5 returned to win with figs of 97, 89, and 87 (another finished 2nd with a 97 Beyer). This horse can fire fresh and should like the grass with his 338 turf Tomlinson. – Scott Ehlers
5:00 DMR 4th SHOFNER (#2, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Brad Free).
5:30 DMR 5th One final drop to the lowest class level for winners ($16k claiming, N2L) might do the trick for MISTY MUPPET (#5, 6-1). She dueled and finished third both recent starts vs better, now she meets a field with less speed while drawn outside her main pace rival who breaks from the rail. – Brad Free
