Play of the Day: Regal Lady in the third race is my Play of the Day. The John Anderson trained horse has been a consistent runner hitting the board in five of six starts this year. Those races have been either on the turf or artificial surface at Golden Gate Fields. But, the kicker is the horse trains in Pleasanton and has been running very well in the mornings. A good spot for the horse!
