DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, February 9, 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.
12:59 GP 2nd STUCK ON KITTEN (#7, 3-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Welsch). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:15 TAM 3rd BENCH WALK (#9, 10-1) takes the blinkers off and switches to turf for the first time upon shipping down from New York and he may well find the locals to be more his speed; first foal out of a dam who posted her only win on dirt but this colt shows sharp works since his last try at Aqueduct. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
1:45 TAM 4th MAMBO DANCER (#7, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:32 GP 5th MIA CAMILA (#11, 5-1) will have to overcome tough post but expecting much better the second time around after being well meant at first asking only to lose best chance when forced wide into and through much of the stretch by tiring leader. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:48 TAM 6th NATASHA'S BIZNIZ (#4, 8-1) is the first starter out of a dam who posted her lone career win routing on the main track but she's an interesting entrant due to some nice breezes that hint at some speed; expecting her to come out running. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:05 GP 6th GILLIGAN (#1, 9-2) a new gelding while dropping to cheapest level yet. Worked well for this under Ortiz. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:18 TAM 7th DANCING SOLDAT (#5, 6-1) gets Lasix for her first start off the claim by trainer Doug Nunn, which makes her a threat by default given the barn's strong record with new faces; eligible to move forward with this barn, and/or the medication change, as he's a full brother to two-time turf winner Marisa's Mission. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:29 TUP 3rd READY TO FORGIVE (#2, 10-1) shortens up a half furlong but should still find the front end. He gets a more mature jockey today and draws inside. For a shortened sprint there isn't that much pace in this race. If all stay in then this gelding could be double digits. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:31 TUP 5th MISCHIEVOUS KITTY (#6, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:05 TUP 8th MICKEY DOBBS (#7, 10-1) exits a key race where 2 of 6 returned to win with figs of 59 and 46. Two more finished 2nd with figs of 50 and 60. Local works are well spaced and this filly finds a logical spot. She ran well in her debut so she figures to do the same off this layoff. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
