DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, March 4, 2021

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 Jose D’Angelo of Jesus’ Team fame is throwing everything at once at the newly acquired BIG FRANK (#5, 7-2) - first gelding, first Lasix, blinkers on, a subtle off-the-claim class drop, and perhaps even the kitchen sink; trying to improve off Saffie following a layoff of more than 9 weeks can be tricky, but it’s not like this Fla.-bred hadn’t already rounded into decent form; we’ll fall for it. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:41 GP 6th PERSPIRE (#2, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Marty McGee). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:48 GP 10th Know better than to rely solely on stats to suggest Tom Bush is a zero with turf sprinters such as CLAMOR (#9, 20-1), as we’re all aware the veteran trainer tends to do his best with this kind, and the samples on display in his PP are pretty small; seems this NY-bred been doing just fine up in Boynton, and the $20k could hit him right between the eyes; decent price play to end the day. -Marty McGee | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
