DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, January 13, 2021

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.

2:48 TAM 5th LORD BYRON (#8, 8-1) was off the board under similar conditions last time out but he made a couple of premature moves in that race and that cost him late, as he gave way in the lane; he's winless in seven turf starts thus far but his best grass figures put him in the mix with these. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:09 GP 6th ARRIVEDERLA (#3, 6-1) exits even effort vs. same company last time but capable of running late from off what could be a very honest pace scenario. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:20 TAM 6th FRENCH KISS ME (#3, 15-1) was in a tough spot in that last sprint, as it was a race that was a little light on pace yet the final time came up quick, a scenario that makes closing ground difficult; as a horse who was looking to rally late there he should be expected to improve off that race, just as next-out winners Consilium and Mozano, who were also off the pace, did in their returns. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:40 GP 7th SPILL THE TEA (#2, 4-1) steadied back early, raced greenly through the stretch while beaten only two lengths by 8-5 Phantom Vision debuting at five furlongs. Stretches out, should race forwardly placed around two turns, might be good enough to spring the mild upset at second asking with a trip. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:20 TAM 8th SHALL RETURN (#8, 5-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:50 TAM 9th PRETTY PRINCESS (#10, 8-1) finished off the board last time when she was unable to sustain her bid for the lead but that was a good effort in defeat, and she could well move forward today if she's able to make a better-timed run; needs to stay a little closer to the pace, it seems, especially given the lack of obvious speed in this finale. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

5:13 GP 10th STORM BOARDER (#2, 20-1) checked back to rear of field, virtually losing all chance facing much tougher than he'll encounter for this tag. Galloped out past the whole field after wire, looks like the sort eligible to improve with one under his belt. Might offer real value if able to work out a clean run. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
