Dustin Orona Photography
Remington Park has been under an equineherpesvirus quarantine since mid-November.

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.

Weekend GamePlan for Sept. 3, 2022: Picks for Jockey Club Gold Cup, Del Mar Mile, Mint Million

Barbara Livingston
The Jockey Club Gold Cup will be First Captain's third consecutive route race wearing blinkers. He should be able to stalk the pace or come with a late run.

Well, this is it. We get to see “the greatest horse to ever look through a bridle” step up to the classic distance, 1 1/4 miles. That’s the phrase trainer Bud Delp applied to Spectacular Bid, in the conversation for the distinction.

Racing pundits and tastemakers are far out over their skis with Flightline; he seems to already have entered the same conversation. The horse’s brilliance shines bright. He breezes like a monster. He won the Met Mile, shipping for the first time and overcoming trouble (though beating a main rival who had already gone over the top).
