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. 2:12 BAQ 3rd MEZCALIFORNIA (#2, 5-1) has won both starts in the claiming ranks since arriving in NY, and she put in a good stretch run to close down today's rival Mursal with a new Beyer top two back; drops back down in class for her second start off the claim. -Mike Beer | | Get Past Performances for this race 3:00 WO 1st SPIKEPHIL (#3, 6-1) battled three-wide for the lead on the turn before tiring in the lane over a track with a golden rail when he last saw action in December. The son of Reload is bred for the turf on the dam's side and has worked extensively for his first grass start under the guidance of an excellent +180 day layoff trainer. -Ron Gierkink | | Get Past Performances for this race 3:14 BAQ 5th MIZTY FOG (#12, 8-1) faced a sharp winner when debuting for this tag sprinting last summer, where she swung wide after settling early, and flattened a bit late after that impressive winner rolled by; was claimed out of that race, then had the second start ranied off, where she showed improved speed; tough post, and has the layoff to overcome, but she ran a bit in the debut, is bred to stretch out, and adds Lasix and blinkers. -Mike Beer | | Get Past Performances for this race 4:36 WO 4th SUVARI (#6, 6-1) is debuting with a French pedigree for a trainer with good first-out stats and should make some noise in this OS/$40K contest on the inner course with blinkers on. She beat company in her half-mile gate work May 23 on the Tapeta, after which she breezed over the turf training course. -Ron Gierkink | | Get Past Performances for this race 4:47 BAQ 8th MR HOPKINS (#6, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | | Get Past Performances for this race 5:00 CD 1st GLOBAL SENSATION (#6, 15-1) wasn't just a sensation in Louisiana when he was at this 2025 peak - a level plenty good for this spot. He was showing that kind of form in KY, too, before the trainer got kicked out of HISA-governed jurisdictions. Once had been all right on Tapeta but the way he performed on dirt last out sure seemed like he was happy to be done with it. Not hard for me to imagine him taking the needed step up in class. Well drawn for his best trip. -Marcus Hersh | | Get Past Performances for this race 5:29 CD 2nd If you take the April 30 run for first-time gelding SURFIN' M (#7, 10-1) to be at least moderately representative, you don't have to squint to see him winning at a square price. Almost certainly needed the long layoff return race three back, caught a sloppy track May 24 and didn't pick up his hooves. -Marcus Hersh | Get Past Performances for this race 5:39 WO 6th THORNBURY (#4, 10-1) has posted improving works in advance of his seasonal bow and could be ready to roll right off the hop. He seems capable of wiring the field under regular rider Nicholls. -Ron Gierkink | | Get Past Performances for this race 6:06 SA 5th The fourth-place U.S. debut by JET BLACK JEWEL (#2, 8-1) appears to have been merely a prep race. She raced evenly and ran well to finish fourth in the that maiden turf sprint. Now she stretches to a mile, the distance at which she finished second in a 17-runner field in her debut last spring in Ireland. With a comeback prep under her belt, 'JEWEL can improve enough to handle these two-turn maiden fillies and mares. -Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race 6:09 WO 7th NORTH YORK (#3, 6-1) did her best running on the grass last year and had to have needed her dull comeback race in a May 23 Tapeta sprint. Note that David Moran was aboard for her runner-up placing Aug. 2. -Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race 7:06 SA 7th NOT A SINNER (#9, 4-1), third last out in a N1X, drops slightly to N3L starter as the proper choice in this turf sprint. She won a fast N2L starter turf sprint two back, she ran okay last out against tougher than these. If she reproduces her March 14 victory, she can rally for the win. -Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race 7:10 CBY 3rd AUNT GWEN'S (#5, 9-2) has speed when able to break decent. She comes in fresh and that might sharpen her speed a tad more. Team Biehler are 31% with new runners. This mare exits a key race where 2 of 6 returned to win with figs of 42 and 48 (two more finished 2nd with figs of 44 and 46). -Scott Ehlers | Get Past Performances for this race 7:54 CD 7th WHITE ROCKS (#4, 8-1) got a good enough trip and just went evenly last out, but that wasn't a bad run, especially vis a vis a shorter price here, Five a Side, and it's not impossible she was feeling her way through her dirt debut, ready to take a step forward second time out. -Marcus Hersh | Get Past Performances for this race
