DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, November 10, 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.

2:16 AQU 5th JAY'STALKER (#6, 5-1) got to the front and kept clear to win at first asking at Saratoga in August; caught a sloppy track when stretched out for his second start and faded badly after contesting the pace vs. a strong field for the level; has distance in his pedigree as he stretches all the way out looking to rebound. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:44 AQU 6th COLD HARD CASH (#6, 4-1) has run well while finishing behind City Man in each of his last two starts; has improved this year despite showing a lone win on the main track; is adaptable to different distances and running styles and is likely top be a fair price once again. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:43 AQU 8th SOCIAL WHIRL (#10, 10-1) faced a strong field going seven in her second start as a 4yo, then missed making a start at Saratoga, where she had run so well last summer; rated from the gate when returned from the layoff last time, and wound up flattening out in the stretch; can salvage something if she can get back to one of her good races here. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:17 WO 4th COURTINGCOURTNEY (#11, 12-1) is exiting her best performance against NW2 opposition, a front-running second for $5K going long under Salles. Despite moving up to $10K, she should be dangerous on the turnback to seven-eighths here after breaking from the outside post. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:50 WO 5th WAR'S END KISS (#3, 9-2) raced wide over an inside-biased track last time when a belated third. The daughter of Queen's Plate winner Shaman Ghost is adding blinkers while retaining Wilson, who won a race for Chircop last Thursday. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

8:20 WO 8th PLUIE D'AVRIL (#7, 5-1) was protected in starter-optional-claimers throughout the meet and could rule the roost in this $5K claimer for non-winners of three of non-winners in the past year. Nicholls picks up the mount for a trainer who won a restricted stakes earlier in the meet. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
