DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Barbara D. Livingston
Saratoga begins the final week of the 2023 meet with Wednesday's card.

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.

Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of Aug. 28, 2023

ANDREADYTORUMBLE
Trainer: Peter Miller
Last race: Aug. 24, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 50

Debut 2-year-old colt had tough trip as favorite in turf sprint. Not quick early, steadied in traffic into turn, re-rallied wide into lane, finished evenly. Promising debut considering the trouble.

DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Sunday, August 27, 2023

Del Mar closes out another week of racing action on Sunday.

12:40 MTH 1st SOCIAL D (#6, 12-1) is worth another shot despite the fact that he was well off the board in his lone turf try to date, as he was close up from the start in that race, which featured some fast early splits; should be a price in the opener on this New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival card. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race

Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Travers, H. Allen Jerkens Memorial, Sapling

Mage trains at SAR Aug 23 2023
Barbara D. Livingston
Mage trains at Saratoga on Wednesday. His runner-up effort in the Haskell should have him perfectly set up for the Travers.

If no opinion is better than a bad opinion this space should have been left blank last week. While last week’s opinions were garbage, they’re also by now just another bunch of sentences heaped onto the digital trash pile. It’s Travers Saturday. Time for more opinions.

Travers

Watching workout videos for the third-most important 1 1/4-mile dirt race in North America has been an enjoyable exercise. We’ve got some good workers in the Travers. Even National Treasure, a horse I don’t fancy though a key pace element, has been breezing with aplomb.
