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.

1:05 SAR 1st SICILIAN GRANDMA (#5, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:55 SAR 6th WHO ME (#1, 10-1) debuted sprinting vs. several of these same colts at Belmont; did not break sharply from the gate on that spot before racing up to chase the pace from the outside, and he was awkward with his lead change in the stretch before weakening; stretches out from a nice inside post. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:39 SAR 9th GOOD GOVERNANCE (#7, 3-1) got started down at Tampa in February vs. weaker, where he overcame trouble to chase down a quick pace right on the wire; has always had potential while struggling to stay on the track and he is back from another layoff here. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:58 WO 3rd HIATUS (#6, 12-1) brings mediocre Fort Erie turf form to this 1 1/4-mile route for $25K claimers on the main course, but he could take some catching as the lone speed with blinkers off. Note that he wasn't a badly beaten fourth after dueling for the lead the only time he competed over a 1 1/4 miles in a race taken off the turf here last August. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:27 WO 4th ONEZY'S DREAM (#4, 6-1) rallied from sixth to finish a clear second over a main course that favored speed three weeks ago. The versatile mare was previously competitive on the Tapeta under regular rider Hoyte and should be prominent at a square price. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:20 WBS (Harness) 2nd HURRIKANE MSRODINE (#2, 3-1) was a sharp first-over winner in her third start and this field doesn’t look much tougher; call to repeat. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:40 MED (Harness) 5th SVENGALI (#6, 10-1) gets a key driver change here for a cagey barn that is sure to have this guy on his toes racing for twice his normal payday. – Derick Giwner | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
