This New York-bred optional claimer is an intriguing convergence of horses on the downswing and those on the upswing. To put it more explicitly, it pits horses racing for the $45k optional claiming tag against those who fit the allowance condition and may inherently have more upside.

Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Bessarabian, Smart Halo, Showtime Deb

Barbara Livingston
Our Flash Drive wins the restricted De La Rose Stakes at Saratoga two starts back. She is 2 for 2 over the Woodbine Tapeta, with the most recent of those wins coming in the Grade 3 Selene Stakes in July 2021.

Flightline! Malathaat, Rebel’s Romance, Modern Games. It already almost seems like a dream, the 2022 Breeders’ Cup. We’re only one week removed, but mid-winter feels more palpable than the Keeneland Breeders’ Cup. Still . . . weekend stakes racing goes on. We’ve got three stops this week.

Bessarbian

The Maple Leaf shares top billing Saturday at Woodbine, where fillies and mares and Tapeta take center stage. I looked long and hard at the Maple Leaf but could turn over no solid opinion in what appears to be a well-matched field.
