DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Thursday, October 29, 2020

Barbara D. Livingston
Times have been fast on the Belmont turf this meet, with the inner-course record for 1 1/16 miles having been broken twice.

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.

Breezefigs Quick-Pix for Saturday, October 24, 2020 by Bob Fierro and Jay Kilgore

At least one of our truly underestimated gimmick Pix saved us last week as Thinking destroyed the field for a very generous ten bucks return. She was one of a dozen BreezeFigs 2-year-olds to break their maidens last week, the rest at: Belmont, Charles Town, Golden Gate, Indiana, Laurel (two), Parx, Presque Isle, Santa Anita (two) and Woodbine. Four 3-year-old BreezeFigs maidens broke into the winner’s circle at Finger Lakes, Gulfstream West, Laurel and Parx.
