DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, September 8, 2021

DRF Staff|Sep 07, 2021

Coady Photography Kentucky Downs will run 16 stakes races in 2021, each with a purse of at least $400,000.

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.

2:27 KD BY 3rd FED MONEY's (#4, 6-1) two grass races both were good enough to contend in this $50K maiden-claimer and one has to think a capable trainer has aimed the gelding at this rich spot through a good portion of the summer. Likely overlay in the win pool. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:01 KD 4th Maybe SUPER SOL (#1, 12-1) is just tailing off now after hitting a surprisingly high peak a couple months ago, but he might not have cared for Ellis turf last out that looked quite wet, and that race didn't shape anywhere close to in his favor. Two back he just bit off more than he could chew in the tough CD stakes and this starter allowances aligns far more favorably with his perceived baseline. Been freshened up since last with four works between starts. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

3:35 KD 5th REWARD NIGHT (#8, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Marcus Hersh). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

4:08 KD 6th BREEZE RIDER (#8, 9-2) takes a steep drop in class into this starter race after facing legit stakes fields in her last two starts. She won an N2X three back and the form seems rock solid at the moment. In line for a clean stalking trip from this outside draw as the mare one stall outside her, Daddy's Boo, goes to the front. -Marcus Hersh | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

6:40 CBY 4th THAT WOULD BE NICE (#7, 9-2) gets back to the turf where she broke her maiden. Turf breeding is good enough to warrant further improvement and you get a 15% barn in your corner. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

7:40 CBY 6th FIRSTMATE (#8, 9-2) has Beyer speed figures of 80, 75, 80, and 80 the last four times that she ran on the grass. A repeat of any of those efforts make this mare a tough cookie. With Wade up we know we are going to get a good trip. Race flow is fast so there is another plus. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
