Knicks Go wins the 2020 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland

Barbara D. Livingston Knicks Go, ridden by Joel Rosario, wins the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile in Keeneland track-record time of 1:33.85.

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.

12:44 TAM 2nd SARJENALLI (#4, 6-1) was on the lead in her latest but she may well be at her best when she's allowed to take back off the pace and make one run, as she did in her maiden score three back; seems to be enough pace to set her up if she does indeed revert to those tactics. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:12 KEE 3rd WIN WORTHY (#6, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:45 KEE 4th FRONT MAN (#5, 3-1) cuts back from short routes, which is what I prefer in these "Beard Course" races, and while his dirt record causes some concern, he might not be much worse on dirt than synthetic - if at all. Drops $20K below the last claim price paid - not good - but comes into this off a near-bullet 5f CD drill and has little to beat in this $20K N2L claimer. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:51 TAM 6th READY ORB NOT (#2, 8-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:18 KEE 5th SNOW HOUSE (#3, 7-2) didn't have much of a trip in his debut, stuck inside, shuffled back twice, and mildly blocked in upper stretch. Once finally clear he finished with good energy, and expect a highly competitive performance second time out. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:24 TAM 7th MONAD (#5, 9-2) ran a solid race for the show in that last one, finishing within five lengths of the winner despite a slow start; now switches to Gallardo in her second start off the layoff, which is a profitable angle for the barn. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:30 TAM 9th TONY SMALL (#1, 6-1) is easily forgiven for that failed effort on the turf last time and he returns to sprinting today, and this does appear to be his best distance; will need pace help, as usual, but there does seem to be plenty of speed to his outside to set up a late run. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
