DRF Staff|Feb 21, 2023

Coglianese Photos Gulfstream hosts the first two legs of the Florida Sire Series on Saturday.

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.

12:10 GP 1st NETWORKING (#3, 4-1) getting some class relief second off the layoff. Raced forwardly for six furlongs before retreating after breaking from tough post in a race won by Drinking Problem, who came back to capture a $35K starter with 75 Beyer in his next start. Irad takes the call. Should fit well here. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

12:58 TAM 2nd I'M A CUTIE (#3, 9-2) may not have appreciated the added distance in that last one, and she also had to duel with a tough trip on the front end, as that was a race which set up very well for the closers (note the inverted "C" in DRF pp line, noting Closers held the edge); high-percentage barn adds to the appeal. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:08 GP 3rd MODAZZLE (#7, 4-1) finished third two back despite a very eventful trip and well posted outside to take advantage of what has been a stalking, outside bias over the synthetic course. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:26 TAM 3rd FELIX THE FOX (#5, 6-1) was hurt by the race flow in his latest, and he effectively lost his best chance at the start, checking out of the gate before rushing up to get into the game and then fading late; has decent back Beyers and can surprise here if he can run to them. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:20 TAM 5th WHISTLEWHILEYOUMOW (#6, 10-1) rises in his first start off the claim but he seems to fit nicely, as he has a rating gear and there's plenty of speed to his inside; could fall into a perfect trip behind a pressured pace if he's able to rate and make one run. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:06 GP 9th MASTEROFTHESENATE (#7, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
