DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, October 26, 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.
1:32 KEE 2nd CONNELMAURA (#10, 8-1) ate dirt after breaking from post 1 facing 10 foes debuting in a restricted MSW. Well beaten ninth there, but has come back with three works and has a much better draw for this drop down to $30K maiden-claiming. – Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:08 KEE 5th CATNIP (#11, 6-1) was aggressively spotted in the G3 Virginia Derby off a maiden win, but I can understand why – the colt has shown talent from the start. You have to look at the VA derby chart to appreciate Catnip’s performance; the two other pace players in the race, including 9-5 second choice Royal Patronage, finished well behind him in a race dominated by closers. The expected win price here offsets the tough outside draw, though there is a long run to the first turn. – Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:44 KEE 8th POINT OF AN AFFAIR (#10, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:35 REM 2nd GOLD VERMILION (#5, 5-1) was favored over some of these last out. He finished third in his first start since July and would seem to have reason to move forward in his second race back. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
9:03 REM 3rd MUSICAL MILLIE (#3, 9-2) is back at two turns for her second start off the bench and her most recent win came at this mile distance. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
