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. 1:21 SAR 2nd GUN IT (#4, 5-1) a $2.6 million purchase that hasn’t necessarily worked out, though he was multiple graded stakes-placed earlier this year at Fair Grounds going long; ran pretty well two back when making an early move to contention vs. a good field and had an excuse last time when stumbling at the start, and his lone one-turn race to date resulted in an impressive win at Churchill last November. – Mike Beer 3:02 SAR 5th GUNMAN (#7, 6-1) has much to prove here, as he makes his 3yo debut and just second start of his career following nearly 10 months on the sidelines. But, he has the pedigree to handle the stretch out for an excellent layoff trainer; breeze in company on 7/24 was ugly, but he apparently rebounded with a much better one last time. – Mike Beer 3:37 SAR 6th SINGLE VERSE (#3, 10-1) is a DRF Best Bet (Mike Beer). :: Bet the races online with DRF Bets.

The starts she has under her belt should serve as a nice foundation for the seven-eighths distance of this race. She also will be first Lasix. –Mary Rampellini 8:33 LS 4th MAINTAINANCE MATT (#2, 4-1) has the look of a runner on the improve. –Mary Rampellini :: Get the DRF GamePlan Playbook each day with a DRF+ Pro subscription.

As for the race he exits, the winner is stakes-bound, with the barn citing options at Kentucky Downs and Remington Park. –Mary Rampellini 12:13 LS 11th CHERISHED (#11, 4-1) makes a rare appearance on the grass and note she has a half-sibling who is a two-time winner on turf. This one’s speed, meanwhile, should serve her well at this five-eighths of a mile trip. –Mary Rampellini
