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.
1:05 Woodbine 1st Race: ITS JUST MONEY (#2, 8-1) is a DRF Best bet (Ron Gierkink). | Get PPs for this race
1:10 Saratoga 1st Race: POSSE ROCKS (#4, 9-2) is just getting started as a 5yo, but she's been competitive in two starts at this level so far while showing speed; drops back down after proving to be no match in a MSW at Finger Lakes behind a filly that returned to win impressively again with a 67 Beyer. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
1:20 Gulfstream 2nd Race: PRINCESS HONOR (#3, 5-1) has speed and there isn't much zip in this race. Or will the cut back to one turn and the surface switch dull her speed? This filly has sprint speed on the dirt so that along with a good post should help her trip. Plus, we don't think her turf breeding is all that good so this surface switch could prove the tipping by itself. – Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
1:35 Woodbine 2nd Race: BRAVO KATE (#2, 6-1) ran at least three-wide all the way when third in her June 12 comeback in a one-mile starter/optional claimer on the inner turf. She's an excellent fit in this one-mile, non-three, $25K claimer on the more roomy main course with Walcott replacing the suspended Hernandez. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
2:49 Saratoga 4th Race: RESCUE ME (#5, 12-1) was strongly rated early, then got shuffled back out of contention before re-rallying to get third behind a blowout winner in her 3yo debut off a long layoff last time; bred to handle this added distance as a daughter of Fools Gold, who was a Grade 3 winner going long on turf (at Saratoga) for these connections a few years back. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
2:56 Monmouth 3rd Race: SEVEN ANNIVERSARY (#5, 8-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Kenny Peck). | Get PPs for this race
3:40 Woodbine 6th Race: DOYOUHAVEANIDEA (#8, 12-1) is debuting with a speed pedigree after working fast over the turf training course. The 4yo is a half-sister to the rapid Bold Reload, who won at first asking for Katryan and went on to bank $100K. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
5:45 Monmouth 9th Race: DEPORTIVO (#8, 8-1) adds blinkers and stretches out from a sprint, and though he failed in two starts going two turns on the turf he held well for the place in his first attempt and he was caught up in a race-long duel two back; should be loose on the lead from the start in this paceless finale, and that's always an edge over this strip. – Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race
6:00 Del Mar 3rd Race: MAGIC ACCOUNT (#5, 8-1) ran too good to lose last out. He dueled on fast fractions, put away two pace rivals who finished seventh and ninth, opened up and got collared by a closer who rallied from seventh. Good runner-up try by 'ACCOUNT, who removes blinkers and does not necessarily require the lead. Shortening from six and one-half furlongs to six, he can win with a forwardly placed trp. – Brad Free | Get PPs for this race
6:13 Saratoga 10th Race: HEART COLLECTOR (#5, 20-1) was bothered by an early spill and never had a real chance in the short sprint debut on dirt; sire Heart to Heart connects with 17% with his starters routing on turf, and this filly is a half-sister to a stakes winner on the grass; eligible to improve quickly. - Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
7:22 Colonial Downs 8th Race: GIVE LIFE (#9, 9-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Patrick Moquin). | Get PPs for this race
8:00 Del Mar 7th Race: Cal-bred 2yo fillies sprint five furlongs; first-time starter MUSTANG KNICKY (#4, 6-1) is working like she means business. Her gate work July 11 looked good, she is bred to win early. By first-crop Knicks Go (debut progeny 2-for-14), 'KNICKY was produced by a dam who won her debut. She has produced two runners including a debut winner. Finally, trainer Steve Knapp already won with a pair of debut 2yos this season. – Brad Free | Get PPs for this race
