DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, October 9, 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.

12:25 GP 1st CAYMAN QUEEN (#8, 6-1) made a little middle run, flattened out late in two turn bow now drops to significantly softer spot and should benefit from the outing. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

12:40 LRL 1st R TENDERONI (#3, 8-1) is a filly facing males, but she gave a good account against them two back. Pulled hard to battle outside 7-1 shot Camp Pendleton (finished third), was outpaced by the winner on the second turn, angled outside, and was game to hold second. No match last time for odds-on Tiz Herself (returned to win her fourth straight when taking an $8K starter at Delaware with a 76 Beyer). -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:20 GP 3rd DELTA RISING (#7, 15-1) flashed some speed against far better than he encounters at second asking. Working decently for return. Expecting big improvement. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:49 GP 4th GREAT KING (#2, 5-1) makes U S debut for dangerous barn, training well for the outing and getting Lasix for first time today. Lone career win came over the synthetic at 3 in England. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:45 KEE 4th Center Aislie is a 5yo back from a second extended layoff at age 5, and I'll try to beat her with RECODED (#6, 10-1). This mare was reclaimed on the rise this past May by current connections. She proceeded to hit career-peak form over her next three starts before a tough inside trip with a pace battle led to stark regression last time. Here, she should sit third behind the dueling leaders, and she's run well before over the KEE strip. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:55 BAQ 5th Thought MEDIA SENSATION (#8, 8-1) ran pretty well at this level three back when encountering trouble at the start and then just getting outfinished late; stepped up to face MSW rivals when back to turf last time and could not make an impact; drops back down. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:08 LRL 6th HELLO GRACIE (#1, 6-1), listed as a Colonial vet scratch on Sept. 5, and a Laurel vet scratch on Sept. 9, gave a good account over wet dirt two back at Penn National. Tracked outside, made a three-wide bid and finished ahead of next-out winner Shoshanah (70 Beyer in restricted allowance over synthetic at Presque Isle). Drops into a claimer for the first time since grassy win over this distance. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:19 FNO 2nd A week after finishing a troubled fifth as the 3-2 favorite in a $12,500 claimer at six furlongs at Golden Gate Fields, FASCINATED (#3, 4-1) will have his third start after a two-month layoff. While Fascinated starts at a higher class level, the gelding is very quick and could be tough to handle in this small field going 5 1-2 furlongs. He has won on dirt, in a 1,000-yard allowance race at Los Al on Sept. 10. -Steve Andersen | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:20 BAQ 9th TREAT STREET (#9, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:28 WO 8th CLEAR DESTINATION (#8, 20-1) placed in both of his outings at this level since returning from a summer vacay. A hot Crawford picks up the mount and is 4 for 17 at the meet for Dixon. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:30 HST 2nd I GOT VISION (#2, 6-1) has the best Beyer Speed Figure at the distance and could be sitting on a big effort in the third start of her current form cycle as she takes the drop to bottoms. She looks as good as any in a race that is hard to take a firm stand on. -Randy Goulding | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:59 WO 9th GRANDSON (#4, 12-1) has progressed through the allowance ranks this year and is coming off a fast-closing third in an N1X route on the inner turf. The handsome chestnut has some speed to chase in this 7 1/2-furlong OS stakes, and should be more forwardly placed than usual with Kimura inheriting the mount from Fukumoto. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:20 KEE 10th The Woodbine race was too short, but that's the least excusable of the last three races from CIBOLIAN (#3 15-1), who had blinkers off last time, an experiment that quickly ends, and didn't quite see out 2 miles in the BEL Gold Cup. To contend, he just needs to get back to his established baseline in 1 1/2-mile grass allowance races, and he has good form over the KEE course. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:29 WO 10th FLIPPIN (#4, 12-1) is making his first start for trainer Kevin Attard, who has excellent stats with new shooters. The closer is returning from a layoff and has ample speed to run at under Nicholls. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:59 WO 11th GO TAKE CHARGE (#1, 6-1) came up empty most recently on the Tapeta, but the 4yo was previously a close second to the future G3 stakes winner Ready for the Lady going 1 1/4 miles on the grass at this maiden special class. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
