DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, March 17, 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.

12:15 TAM 1st TANGLED WEB (#3, 2-1) was well off the board in that last one but that was no easy trip, as he pressed the pace from the start in a race which set up well for the closers; he's way down in class for this and he meets a field that's light on pace, making it likely he'll be able to shake loose and control the issue. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:10 GP 1st Surprised SHADILEE (#4, 4-1) hasn't seen the turf before now considering her breeding. Comes off solid main track sprint for same tag, need only handle the grass as expected to get back on winning track here. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:15 TAM 5th Thought TOP BOMB (#7, 5-1) got there with a late surge near the wire in that last one but he came up just short of catching the winner, Delaware Destroyer, who returned to score again in his first start against winners in his next start; he was off the board in his prior pair but ran deceptively well in defeat each time and he seemingly meets the weakest field of $16,000 maiden claimers he's faced since his local bow here back on the opening day of the meet, in November. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:41 GP 6th THOROVER (#7, 4-1) much improved, may stand some catching if able to get the early drop on Berhanu. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
