DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, June 23, 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.
3:05 BEL 1st TOGA DANCER (#5, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:38 BEL 2nd TACTICAL RANGE (#5, 5-1) won each of her first two starts vs. claiming rivals, including an easy win for this tag at Tampa while overcoming a bump at the start and then a steady back to last in the early stages at the end of January; had a few excuses when dropped back down and cut back in distance last time at Monmouth. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:34 WO 2nd WANT TO GO DANCING (#3, 6-1) commences her career with blinkers and is by the successful speed sire Old Forester, the sire of five-time Canadian champion sprinter Pink Lloyd and a host of other stakes winners. The 4yo worked decently from the gate the other day for the trainer who won with first-timer The Green Planet for BS here May 29. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:03 WO 3rd I'M A CHI TOO (#3, 8-1) wasn't an impact player in his two appearances at the meet vs. NW2 OS/$40K rivals. He's eligible to wake up on the drop to $25K NW2 company here with the bug Jones taking over to get the lead out. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:40 CBY 4th OPTION (#5, 4-1) just ran better and did so for a high percentage barn. The move to routing is what we like best as this guy has three of four sibs that are route winners. There isn't much pace in this race so why can't this guy go wire to wire, right? -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:10 CBY 5th COURAGEOUS TIMMY (#9, 12-1)broke his maiden going this distance only four back. It is easy to discount that turf route two back. This gelding caught the mud last out yet still managed the show dough. He should improve second time this dirt and we like this post. Don't forget about the good price? -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:03 LS 2nd YOU'REOBADBOY (#7, 7-2) leaves the Oklahoma-bred ranks behind, but exits a race that went quite quick. He also has speed and a post that might give Mora options. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:00 YR (Harness) 7th DIMANTE VIC (#3, 12-1) faces NW2's and maiden's here rather than the NW4's he did last Thursday, and he also gets an opportunity with driver Gingras. I will give him a chance. – Greg Reinhart | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:10 WBS (Harness) 7th CHEETO (#7, 5-2) was interfered with and thrown off stride in his debut race then he proceeded to pace the fastest final 1/8th of a mile that these eyes have seen at Hanover Raceway. He followed that up with a predictable win at Grand River now he faces tougher which will help his price; top call. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
