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.
1:18 LRL 3rdJUST PHILTORED (#5, 6-1) feels like the pick between the two Capuano firsters, mostly because of the pedigree; juveniles sired by Great Notion win 19% of the time on debut and are typically stronger in sprints; the trainer had a spectacular campaign with 2-year-olds last year and is getting a little bolder in 2025 - Patrick Moquin | Get PPs for this race
1:22 GP 2nd BOGARTS BUCCHERO (#9, 8-1) is by a 15% debut sire (2YO's only) and a 12% debut turf sire. His dam went 11-5-1-1 and earned 67K (58K on the grass). Lone sib is 7-0-2-0 and earned 13K (1-0-0-0 on the turf). We like those grass works for team Sisterson. This outside draw for a debut is a small plus. Grass and distance Tomlinsons are strong at 321 and 402 - Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
2:05 BAQ 3rd BOURBON DAY (#8, 5-2) earned a career-best 96 Beyer winning an off-turf route the last time he was in NY, and he scored over ten furlongs on synthetic two starts later when claimed by Maker; four-time turf winner appears to have a tactical advantage over his two main rivals as he steps back in class and stretches back out. - Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
2:18 WO 3rd LITTLE ALEXA (#3, 7-2) worked well from the gate May 10, a half-mile in :47 with a gallop-out in 1:00. The inexpensive daughter of 11% first-out sire Unified is out of a useful sprinter who banked $98K and produced the stakes-winning sprinter Shippy ($121K), a debut winner at 2 - Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
3:25 WO 5th VANDOO (#6, 2-1), who was stakes-placed twice at 2, endured the sophomore jinx last year and is dropping to meet $15K non-three rivals for her season debut. Superb layoff trainer Kevin Attard, who leads the standings, and leading rider Pietro Moran were a combined 7 for 13 at the meet heading into this week. - Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race
3:38 BAQ 6th TAPWRITS TEMPER (#3, 12-1) was involved on a competitive pace when closed down late by one pf today's rivals at the end of January, then had no chance with heavily-favored, class-dropper Uncle Jim in his next start. He took the first run at that favored, front-running winner ahead of a few of these same horses and paid the price last time; he can go with these horses if pulling a more favorable trip, and he will be a fair price. - Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race
4:05 GP 7th WHISKEY PARK (#1, 3-1) has some speed and puts the blinkers ON but make no mistake in that this colt needs to stalk. There is just too much speed in here to push the pace. This rail draw gives Perez some early options and we know this improving 4YO can pass runners. That was a nice turf debut in his most recent and most runners improve the second time they do anything. New barn is 0 for 2 off the claim but that sample size is very small. - Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race
7:00 SA 7th BEEF WINSLOW (#4, 3-1) stretches out from a decent third-place comeback vs. tougher; the runner-up returned to finish second in a Grade 2. The race by 'WINSLOW was his comeback; he is the fastest in this $50k claiming field based on year-old form. He figures for a comfortable trip positioned second or third behind the pacesetter in the outside post. - Brad Free | Get PPs for this race
8:00 SA 9th - BURNING RUNNER (#4, 5-1) can win this maiden-50 turf sprint if she merely reproduces her solid third-place comeback under similar conditions. She was caught wide through the turn, and finished less than two lengths behind The Old Nine, the favorite in race 1. - Brad Free | Get PPs for this race
