Mia Mischief wins a March 20 allowance at Oaklawn. She was being pointed to the Humana Distaff at Churchill, but now will run in the Carousel at Oaklawn on April 25.

With most other North American sports being shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, we hope the sport of horse racing can entertain you during these trying times. 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, April 25, 2020 by Bob Fierro & Jay Kilgore

There you go, two Pix, two scratches. Mix this up with the paucity of racing and we wind up with only two BreezeFigs maidens who won last week (at Oaklawn and Tampa Bay), and there were no 2-year-old races, either. We’ll try to make it up to you with three very Quick Pix on today’s card, see below. Stay safe and good luck!

Brad Free's cross-country plays for Friday, April 24, 2020

A pair of double-digit longshots and a trio of lower-odds nuggets furnish the action Friday at Oaklawn Park, Tampa Bay Downs, and Gulfstream Park. Diving in:

Oaklawn Park, Race 2 (2:35 p.m. ET) – A $12.5K claiming winner fits in a $12.5K claiming starter. Jose the E F Five (7) returns to the level she crushed two back. Trainer Kim Puhl does super second start off the claim and is on a 4-for-15 roll the past three weeks at Oaklawn with winners that paid $42, $14.80, $36.20, and $30. Jose the E F Five is listed at 10-1.
