DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, January 6, 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.

12:42 TAM 1st JACKSON STRONG (#1, 5-1) is by a 11% debut sire. His dam went 32-5-3-5 and earned 106K and this is her first foal to race. Homebred only has 3 works but notice that none are less than four furlongs which tells us this guy was working somewhere before coming here. Maiden claiming placement for debut is fine as this guy is a gelding. Rail draw a bit tricky for a debut but not enough to dissuade us if the price is decent. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:05 GP 2nd GRACE'S DRAMA (#3, 7-2) has two wins and a second with same kind in last four one turn mile tries and gets Saez today. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:10 TAM 2nd SUZIE'SSTEPPINOUT (#3, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Scott Ehlers). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:05 GP 4th BLUERIDGE TRAVELER (#1, 12-1) an intriguing proposition returning to grass for the first time since career bow when forced to alter course, lose best chance due to a fallen rival in the race. Comes up for straight tag for first time and exiting a key race that produced trio of next out winners. Worth a look at what figures to be a square price. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:38 GP 5th BRODY'S HONOR (#9, 9-2) in new hands off claim after being fairly well backed, encountering trouble at first asking. Stretch to a mile the key here. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:50 TAM 7th BOURBON TAN (#2, 4-1) has speed and there isn't much of that commodity in here. Plus, he draws inside. He has won on this sod before. He missed a Beyer top by only two points two back. Wire please. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:20 TAM 8th FLASH IT (#1, 7-2) has only run poorly only once and that came two back at Louisiana Downs. We bet he just didn't like that surface and he did break 9th. His maiden breaker here was solid and connections have found a logical spot to face first time winners. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
