DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, March 18, 2020

Barbara D. Livingston
Gulfstream will hold its first-ever summer program with a special eight-race card on Tuesday.

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.

Peck: Tampa Bay Downs horses to watch for week of March 16, 2020

COOL HAND LUTE
Trainer
: Jacob Palacios Molina
Date: March 11, 4th
Finish: 3rd by 8 1/2
Beyer: 37
Well bet despite not having started since May at Hastings, and while he came up short here he was left with a lot to do after getting caught well off the early pace. He made a middle move to reach contention before he flattened out late but figures to improve next time with this race under his belt.
