DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, November 22, 2020
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.
11:50 AQU 1st MY BOY PADDY (#1, 8-1) ran well through a tough, wide trip two back behind an impressive, front-running winner, then tracked the pace and took over when dropped back down in class last time, only to settle for second best; think he fits well vs. this field shipping in but the cut back could be a question. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:04 GPW 2nd TAITA (#2, 4-1) a new face from good debut barn and noting a 47 and change half-mile over this strip back on 10/10. Wouldn't have to be much unless one of the other firsters can run. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:19 AQU 4th KITTEN'S ROMANCE (#10, 8-1) got an aggressive ride last time and paid the price late when failing to last vs. a couple of these - not that those were necessarily the wrong tactics; doesn't need the lead to be effective and also ran better than it looks two back when getting a bit of an indecisive ride from an outside draw. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:45 AQU 5th DUCKPHAT (#3, 5-1) a firster by Quality Roa and out of seven-time route winner Great Gracie Dane (five of those wins on dirt, $344k in earnings), who is herself a sister to multiple stakes winner Ostrolenka; new trainer sent out a first time starter to just miss at 10:1 last month at Belmont. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:55 WO 4th GIVE ME AN EYE (#7, 8-1) was in solid form before he was a slow-starting fourth last time, a race you can draw a line through. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:05 GPW 6th MY ASHLEIGH (#2, 6-1) dons shades for third start of form cycle. Chased much more experienced and even money Avuncular in solid debut. Might not look back if new equipment helps get this one clear early on from inside. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:58 WO 6th MR NARCISSISTIC (#11, 12-1) is bred for speed and has worked decently for a low-percentage debut trainer, who has a slight positive ROI with newbies. His outside post is a negative, but he's worth a flyer at a price. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:08 GPW 7th GRAN ETIQUETA (#1, 6-1) back to one turn after fading late in two turn bow nine days earlier. Held own for twice this tag in each of two previous tries. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:19 LRL 8th CHAMPAGNE TOAST (#7, 15-1) showed marginal improvement when stretched out around two turns at Delaware and might be set for another forward move with the addition of blinkers. Saved ground throughout over sloppy going behind a gate-to-wire winner and finished willingly with a solid gallop-out. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:42 GPW 9th PICARA (#2, 8-1) winless since upsetting this race a year ago and facing softer bunch in defense of title today. Loves the course and coming off good effort following 3 1/2 month freshening. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:26 DMR 7th TIME TO TESTIFY (#5, 12-1) looked like a new horse routing on dirt here Oct. 31 as he blasted maidens. That was his first start with blinkers and first start for O’Neill off the claim. Yes, it’s first time vs. winners here but the way he won was terrific, he’s bred all over for turf and has a bullet work since. – Michael Hammersly| Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:58 WO 12th THERE'S NO JOE (#9, 6-1) put up a big 85 Beyer last time when trouncing maidens on the grass. He might not be as good on the Tapeta as he is on the lawn, but he could still make the grade in this NW2 tilt. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:28 WO 13th MAYITO (#5, 8-1) could wake up in his second start off a layoff for a hot 21% trainer. The stretchout from seven furlongs to a route should be to his benefit. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
