DRF's Horse Racing Playbook for Friday, September 16, 2022
DRF Staff
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.
1:30 BAQ 2nd MEGAYACHT (#1, 6-1) tried dropping back sharply in distance last time and was bumped at the start, before winding up in some traffic in the upper-stretch; best form has come in longer races and he did not appear to act over that softer turf two back; rebound chance with forward to go. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:09 PIM 4th AT THE GATE (#5, 6-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Dan Illman). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
2:31 BAQ 4th WISH LIST (#8, 10-1) a newcomer by excellent turf sprint sire Astern (19% wins in these races); dam was a winner sprinting on turf in England, and her first four foals to race are all winners, two turf winners; like this spot for Terranova, who has an excellent record overall debuting in turf sprints. -Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:11 PIM 6th KILLY START (#2, 6-1) must avoid being outrunas she cuts back considerably in distance, but she was fairly competitive in a decent field at Delaware last month. Made a four-wide bid in tandem with an outer foe, was briefly placed in tight, then stayed on evenly to finish just behind Downtown Katie (next-out 78-Beyer winner in a $25,000 starter at Delaware). -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:24 GP 7th HONOR D LADY (#4, 4-1) debuts at a mile but showing plenty of a.m. activity prepping for debut. Is a half to $119K winner Churchdown. Might be good enough to handle this modest group. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:50 WO 6th SOUPER RUSH (#7, 6-1) is adding blinkers off another lackluster performance and might be poised to recapture his fine 2yo form. Three-quarters on the main turf seems like a suitable trip for the son of Souper Speedy. -Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:58 GP 8th BLUEFIELD (#4, 5-1) knows how to win and obviously in very dangerous hands for local bow. Noting that bullet half back in August and plenty of stamina enhancing 5 furlong breezes subsequent to that drill. Well spotted for this tag. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:16 PIM 8th DADDY'S COZY (#5, 6-1) attempts to repeat the allowance to claiming move that resulted in his win three back at Laurel. Gave a good try against first-level allowance runners last month as he settled in midpack along the rail, gradually eased out in the stretch and finished evenly with a solid gallop-out. -Dan Illman | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:30 GP 9th ROYAL ATTITUDE (#5, 9-2) looks like a horse who might have needed that debut outing going 6 1/2 furlongs and taken to improve from the effort on turn back to six panels. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:41 BAQ 8th SOCIAL WHIRL (#5, 5-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:07 RP 1st SWEET TEA RED (#4, 8-1) met winners for the first time last out and ran a credible second in a large field. The start was her first since May. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:10 MED (Harness) 6th WARRAWEE YES (#2, 4-1) was used hard in the Peaceful Way stakes versus the best filly north of the border and paid the price. Connections didn’t bring this gal down to tour the swamp land; expecting a big mile. – Derick Giwner | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:20 WBS (Harness) 5th GOING FAST (#2, 10-1) paced a sub-:54 back half to win a leg of this series last week and he gets the call to repeat off that sharp win. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
8:35 RP 2nd The versatile CHOOS UR ADVENTURE (#8, 6-1) returns to turf with the move to Remington and the last time he ran on the green he was a winner with a career-high Beyer Speed Figure. -Mary Rampellini
