DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, January 7, 2021

DRF Staff|Jan 06, 2021

Tom Keyser Horses competing in the Wood Memorial on April 5 at Aqueduct will be subject to blood testing and 24-monitoring, the New York State Gaming Commission announced.

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 GP 2nd NANCY WORK (#3, 9-2) finished just behind a next-out maiden special winner at Remington when fifth at first asking for $30K at Churchill. With the addition of Lasix and Saez here in her first try for O'Connell, she could have these $35K maidens within her sights. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:35 GP 3rd BLACKTEIN (#3, 8-1) is by 14% first-out sire Fed Biz and his dam produced eight winners, including a stakes winner. He worked a bullet at Palm Meadows the other day and is realistically spotted for $20K with the capable Reyes riding. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:20 AQU 4th DESERT LIGHTS (#3, 15-1) does have a habit of settling but he is cutting back to a better distance for this while returning to his favorite track, and he has plenty of races that make him competitive vs. this field; always been at his best as a closing sprinter and he projects to have some pace in front of him in this spot. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:38 GP 5th CAIRO CAMPAIGN (#9, 5-1) is stretching out while trying the turf for the first time off two straight scores in the lower ranks. The daughter of Cairo Prince is a full-brother to Kissing Frogs, who's unbeaten in two grass starts, both going 1 1/16 miles at Gulfstream, for which she earned Beyers of 86 and 74. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:20 AQU 8th DAVID'S GEM (#4, 6-1) ran well when just coming up shirt in his debut at a big price, then dropped back down two starts later and easily handled maiden claimers with a competitive figure; drops again for his second start back after facing a very goo field out of town back in September. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:42 GP 9th FULLY LOADED (#2, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
