DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, September 15, 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.
3:03 BAQ 5th SUL PHAROAH (#1, 6-1) has been alternating between dirt and turf through five starts and has yet to be around at the end on either surface; sprinted for the only time on the main track off the layoff and wound up chasing a fast pace vs. Accretive, who returned to just miss in the Grade 2 Amsterdam with a 101 Beyer; only other dirt start came going a mile vs. Early Voting. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:35 BAQ 6th SWEET BLUSH (#10, 15-1) took some money while debuting over a tough distance on dirt, where she broke slowly and raced greenly before tiring; drew a tough post while switching surfaces and stretching out but she is bred for this and might have really needed that first one. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:07 BAQ 7th ICY STARE DOWN (#9, 6-1) ran well in each of her first three starts over wet dirt, including that clear-cut maiden win with an 80 Beyer; gets Rosario switching surfaces off the layoff and she is from a turf family on the bottom. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:45 BAQ 10th KIMBO DANCER (#10, 10-1) cut back off the claim while also facing MSW rivals for the first time, and she had a no-chance trip in that spot while winding up very wide throughout from the back; drops back down but is drawn outside again. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:52 WO 3rd FORESTER HUMOR (#4, 10-1) is by the good speed/debut sire Old Forester and out of a mare by outstanding broodmare sire Distorted Humor who's been a decent producer. Several of his works were on the quick side, and he doesn't have much to beat in this $15K seller. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:22 WO 4th EVERYDAY MAGIC (#8, 10-1) is cheapening up again following a disappointing effort on the Tapeta for her second try off a $25K claim. She won on both turf courses earlier in the summer and should be prominent if she's anywhere near right. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:24 WO 6th TWISTED PATH (#4, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
7:40 CBY 4th MOUNTAIN PINE (#6, 8-1) is a new turf horse. Class drop makes perfect sense. This colt is often a good price. Other zip in here for sure but this colt can pass runners. Jock switch is noted. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:10 CBY 5th MO SMOKING (#9, 15-1) is by a 14% debut turf sire. Her dam was un-raced. Lone turf sibs finished 2nd in only turf start (earned 6K). This filly is just bred to love a turf sprint. We like how she broke on top in her last two starts. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:40 CBY 6th SUNDANCE STAR (#2, 8-1) is feeling good yet is often a price. Class drop like many for this state-bred. This filly was off slow in her most recent but still ran 2nd. Plenty of time between races is fine by us and this barn shows a flat bet profit in routes. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:30 WBS (Harness) 8th SPORT ADDICTION (#8, 5-1) had a tough trip last time in Sarnia. This field likely isn't any tougher and maybe driver Bob McClure sends him right down the road. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
10:27 RP 6th BIG SCOTT DADDY (#9, 5-1) invades from Southern California. He's back on turf and he put up a strong Beyer Figure on the green back in January. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
10:55 RP 7th MAJESTIC WAYS (#3, 5-1) is back in the overnight ranks and could be strong through the stretch for both the class move and the cutback to one turn. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
11:23 RP 8th WINGS OF GOLD (#3, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mary Rampellini). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
