DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, October 30, 2022
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.
1:52 GP 4th BLUTO’S CANDY (#7, 4-1) comes off best yet despite rough going through late stages. Ready to graduate with a cleaner run. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:12 BAQ 4th CURLIN’S WISDOM (#5, 6-1) faces a pretty steep class rise here but is taking the leap while in form following back-to-back wins on the main track; has raced sparingly over fast dirt since the debut, finishing second to a pair of heavy favorites in his first two starts for Rice back in May, and then improving noticeably to win the last two; something to prove but he will be a fair price and looked good last time over this distance. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:22 WO 3rd MAD MOCHA (#1, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:53 WO 4th BLACK SUN (#7, 20-1) is trying the turf for the first time off a narrow loss in a lesser NW2 event and is bred for the task at hand. The son of excellent grass sire Silent Name is out of a mare who dropped two winners from as many starts. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:16 BAQ 7th VENTI VALENTINE (#5, 8-1) has not improved since earning a 92 Beyer vs open company off the layoff, though she has been kept to longer distance since then – three times in graded races – and she might simply be better going shorter; one more chance cutting back, finally. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:33 GP 7th POSEIDON’S SON (#8, 8-1) not badly beaten for this tag while showing bit of a new dimension in process. Draws favorably outside, might be bit of a sleeper. – Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:53 BAQ 9th CARAGATE (#3, 10-1) is a little slow on the way into this but this the distance works to her advantage, as she ran the best race of her career so far when winning over nine furlongs at Saratoga; always finished well and there is pace in this race to set her up. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:31 SA 4th KITTEN CALLS (#1, 5-2) is the one to beat in this maiden-20 mile. She was wide throughout finishing second two weeks ago, and now draws an inside post. – Brad Free | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
