DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, December 30, 2020
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.
1:10 TAM 2nd U KNOW I B LION (#7, 6-1) gets good race flow so we think she gets a winning trip exactly like her local W two back. Just like said race she draws outside. One level class jump is fine with us while the Ward barn is 37% on the cut back (flat bet profit). -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:05 GP 4th Class droppers WICKED SPIRIT (#7, 6-1) and ANTIGONE get top billing as most likely win threats in this one. Former back to the main off wide running effort in failed turf experiment, may offer some value behind logical Antigone. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:10 TAM 4th IT'S MANDATORY (#2, 12-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:38 GP 5th PALACE KITTEN (#3, 9-2) ran credibly vs. better last time and with the speed to perhaps take advantage of relatively pace-less affair. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:40 GP 7th Looking outside the box in this one, will try EXOGEN (#2, 5-1) who has enough breeding for grass to suggest improvement could be forthcoming at a price in turf bow. Figures forwardly on stretch to a mile. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:20 TAM 8th FAN FAN (#5, 6-1) is by a 13% debut turf sire. Her dam went 18-4-2-2 and earned 89K. All 4 sibs won with 3 having beat winners (other is 1 for 1). This barn is a bit above average with their first time starters. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:42 GP 9th All the speed signed on here should be a plus for in form WALKOFF (#7, 5-1) who has won three of last four and proven at a one turn mile. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:50 TAM 9th BETWEENHEREANDCOOL (#4, 12-1) has won 23 times and has hit the exacta in 37 starts. He got Beyers of 78 and 80 as recently as 3 and 4 back. This gelding won his lone turf start and it came going today's five furlongs. This horse likes the Tampa dirt so maybe the local sod. The price will entice. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
