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.

12:20 AQU 1^st UNCLE MARTY (#1, 4-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race

12:50 AQU 2^nd PONCHO SONG’s (#8, 15-1 ) last start vs. claimers came in June over a wet track, where he railed gamely for second behind a front-running winner; needs pace but he has had few chances around this level and is better than she looks. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race

12:52 GP 2^nd BIG JOHN (#6, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race

1:20 WO 1^st RED ZEPPELIN (#4, 3-1) is dropping a notch off a front-running third vs. $10K maidens and may have found a field that he can wire. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race

2:44 AQU 6^th VERONICA GREENE (#8, 6-1) had run better than it may appear on each of her first two starts on dirt; switched to turf at Saratoga and took a tough beat while just missing to a progressive filly; settled and buried maidens last time with a three-wide sweep; hasn’t run a fast race yet, but she might be a better fit than it may appear in this spot. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race

2:53 WO 4^th SOUPER SUCCESS (#7, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race

3:01 GP 6^th LIVE IS LIFE (#7, 4-1) not badly beaten by TIGRE in their previuos encounter and conceding weight to that one off their last meeting but is fresher, working well and should get the early jump on a likely short-priced favorite in rematch. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race

4:12 AQU 8^th ESCAPE MISSION (#8, 8-1) as faster by a capable debut sire and out of a dam who had speed and posted her lone career win sprinting on dirt with a 76 Beyer; Handal off to a good start at the meet and he can win with a first-time starter. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race

4:58 WO 8^th BASKETBALL JONES (#2, 12-1) is returning from a 2 ½-month vacay as a new gelding, and can fire when fresh as evidenced by his first-out maiden win on the grass. The nicely-bred son of Curlin has worked regularly for capable layoff trainer CDP. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
