DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, March 18, 2021

DRF Staff|Mar 17, 2021

Coady Photography Oaklawn Park handled more than $16.6 million during the first three days of its meet.

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.

1:39 GP 2nd Trying MSW turf routers didn’t work out for CARROBIO (#4, 4-1) in his first try off the claim for DePaulo, even with easily a career-top BSF, and now he’s back in with mdn.- claimers when returning to a dirt sprint; was an OK second in that 2-back try versus similar; looks good as any in a well-matched 2nd half of the early double. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:11 GP 5th Seems like COURTED (#2, 4-1) may’ve been a bit too eager in her local return when stretching out from a Big A turf sprint as she went sailing off from an outer post, only to get leg-weary late; patient C-Lan handling can help her work out a better trip from just off it while saving all the ground; call her the day’s best. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:48 GP 8th That wasn’t too bad of a last-out runner-up effort from BRACCIO DI FERRO (#6, 4-1) when stretching out to a mile for the first time last month; gray dude is part of a very well-matched group of starter 3yos for J. D’Angelo, who’s in Dubai this week to run Jesus’ Team in the World Cup. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:09 OP 7th CROWN JEWEL (#4, 8-5) is a DRF Best Bet (Mary Rampellini). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:40 OP 8th LADY ROCKET (#4, 3-1) is a consistent sort who adds blinkers and the equipment move is a high percentage one for Cox, according to statistics from Daily Racing Form. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:10 OP 9th SERBIAN SAILOR (#2, 8-1) is well-versed at the two-turn trip and has some recency on MOON IN THE SKY. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
