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.

Track: Gulfstream (2nd Race)
Horse: DAIZY DOMERGOO (#7, 9-2)
DAIZY DOMERGOO is by a 13% debut sire. Her dam was un-raced and this is her first foal. Works are well spaced and include a pair of faster drills. We like that Jaramillo takes the call as he is 25% for team Gonzalez. Distance Tomlinson of 404 hints at sprint ability. – Scott Ehlers | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Saratoga (2nd Race)
Horse: SHESINAMOOD (#6, 15-1)
Thought SHESINAMOOD was impressive winning her debut over course and distance in her lone start as a 2yo last summer; has only sprinted on turf twice since, and ran better than it looks in both of those races while never in position to be effective behind wire-to-wire winners; cuts back needing a trip as she gets some class relief. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Monmouth (5th Race)
Horse: FOREVER CHOCOLATE (#7, 7-2)
FOREVER CHOCOLATE was far up the track in the 2024 Charles Hesse III Handicap but something may have gone amiss there, as he went to the sidelines thereafter, and he can make amends today given with the right kind of trip; he's been in good form of late, including a smart score in the Friendly Lover two back and a deceptively good try in his last when third. – Kenny Peck | Get Past Performances for this race

Horse: SON OF HONOR (#1, 8-1)

Post Time: 3:14 ET
Track: Woodbine (5th Race)
Horse: SOUPER SUPREME (#4, 5-1)
SOUPER SUPREME won two restricted stakes last year at 2 before things went awry. She could wire this field of yearling sales stakes grads if sufficiently cranked up for her first start since October. – Ron Gierkink | Get Past Performances for this race

Track: Saratoga (10th Race)
Horse: RITHM NIC (#10, 4-1)
RITHM NIC was tried on turf - with some success - when shipped here last summer, though she is a faster horse on this surface, and she ran well back on dirt here in July while first back from a long layoff; drops back to the level of the claim after stepping up to no avail three weeks ago. – Mike Beer | Get Past Performances for this race
Post Time: 7:03 ET
Track: Del Mar (6th Race)
Horse: BAD TO THE BONES (#3, 6-1)
BAD TO THE BONES plummets to $10k claiming N2L after misfiring last out for $25k. He had the race shape against him last time; the top three finishers rallied from the back; the pacesetters including 'BONES all collapsed. The splits should be softer vs. this easier lineup. He would crush if he ran back to his fourth-place finish three back vs. tougher. – Brad Free | Get Past Performances for this race
