Tuesday’s Trachea Shots at Parx

on By
Horses and jockeys at the starting gate during a race at Parx Racing.

The Conductor started this week like he did last week, getting his teeth kicked in at Parx.  However, he made tenfold as the week continued so we can’t be worried.  I have all the confidence in the world that he will get the train back on track today.  He’s shortening up and focusing on the back half of the card with all his Breeders Cup work that needs to be done. Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 1m70yds. Clm 12500

#9 To the Victor (10/1) – This gelding’s last few starts haven’t been enticing, but they’ve been against much stronger competition.  In his last start at this level, he ran a figure above par and won with ease.  This isn’t a very strong Parx field and he has the potential to make noise at a big price.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Clm 16000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #11 Doddsprivatelabel (15/1) – The #1A Hey Jabber Jaw (8/5) will likely win this race, but the Conductor likes to give his passengers ponies a little less obvious.  This Ol’ Boy is a proven winner at Parx and will be flying late.  The Conductor loves the cutback to a sprint and he can spice up the exotics.

Race 9: 5 ½ Furlongs. Alw 46000n1x

*Never a Doubt New Car Tuesday Lock of the day #9 Roll Tide Roll (3/1) –  A winner at Saratoga two starts back, he like to win anytime and anywhere.  His best speed figs are the best in this group, he’s in good form and the favorite in here has much less experience.

Race 10: 6 ½ Furlongs. Clm 5000n1y

#8 Refuseing (4/1) – The only horse in this field that can challenge the heavy favorite, his last race at Delaware Park was very strong.  Additionally, he’s won two in a row and the Conductor thinks he’s capable of legging out a triple.

Monday’s Parx Pounding

on By
Horses and jockeys at the starting gate during a race at Parx Racing.

It was a slow weekend for the Conductor as he kept his chips relatively close to vest.  Breeders Cup is right around the corner and we need to continue to build our bankroll, so we can rob Churchill blind.  The Conductor will have his plays for every day this week and next week he’ll focus on the Cup.  The trains gearing up to go full speed, to Parx we go, Let’s Ride.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 40000n2L

*Gullet Shot #3 Canoochee (20/1) – She’s steadily improving and romped in the slop last start to break her maiden.  A repeat performance makes her competitive against this group and the Conductor loves her early pace figs.  There is no early speed in this field and she should get a very favorable trip on or near the lead.

Race 5: 5 ½ Furlongs. F.Clm 8000

*Never a Doubt Grocery Shopping for the week Lock of the Day #1 One Tough Angel (4/1) – Her last performance stands out above this group.  She steps up in class, but with her early speed and wins above this level in the past, the Conductor likes her a lot.  We also get the 1A Congressionalstorm, who the Conductor likes as well.

Parx

Race 6: 1 Clm. 16000

*Trachea Breaker #10 Cheddar Chubb (20/1) – This Ol’ boy returned to form last start, winning as he returned to the claiming ranks.  He always runs well at Parx and his last race fits right in against this group.  The Conductor will key in on him at a big number.

Race 7: 1 Mile. S.Alw 41000b

#3 Brevard Place (15/1) – I guess the Parx morning line maker doesn’t respect Presque Isle downs?  His last race would beat this group and he shortens in distance today.  The Conductor dares Parx to give him 15/1.

Race 8: 1m70yds. Alw 46000n1x

#6 Fiery Opal (3/1) – He is an absolute stand out in here.  The layoff is the only chance that can get him beat.

#2 Cowboy Night (30/1) – 100/1 or not this gelding’s last race at Parx makes him competitive.  He drops in class, is working well, adds blinkers.  What’s not to like?

Race 9: 1m70yds. MC 10000

#3 Border Agent (6/1) – He has some upside switching to dirt for the first time after running some decent races on turf.  This group stinks and the Conductor likes him best.

Saturday’s Stocking Stuffers: Keeneland’s Keys to The Late Pick 5

on By
Three festive Christmas stockings in red and green filled with cash, showcasing holiday spirit and gift-giving.

Another great day yesterday as the Conductor handed out 4 winners including two 7/1 shots.  We’ll take our lump of cash and go for Keeneland’s jugular in the late pick 5.  Let’s have a weekend, Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 69000n1x

#10 Trappezoid (10/1) – He ran some big figures on dirt as a 3-year-old and has only raced once this year.  With maturity he has room to step forward and his dam has produced a turf winner, so the new surface doesn’t concern the Conductor.  Trainer Bret Calhoun is 19% with a +$0.37 ROI this year with runners off a 3 month+ layoff and the favorites have tough posts in here.

Race 7: 1 Mile. F.Clm 50000b

*Never a Doubt Saturday Stone Cold Lock of the Day #7 Lil Vie (3/1) – She dueled and drew off in her last start in impressive fashion.  This race is devoid of early pace and she should be able to get on the early lead where she does her best running.  She’ll take them all the way around.

Keeneland

Race 8: 1½ Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 71000n2x

#2 Nigh Owl (6/1) – He should improve in the second start off the long layoff and his last start was very solid.  He’ll appreciate the added distance and the Conductor loves the Billy Mott/Leparoux combo going long on the turf.  The Kentucky Downs shippers have been winning the entire Keeneland meet.

Race 9: 7 Furlongs. F.RavenRun-G2

*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 Blamed (15/1) – She’s dominated her competition at Sunland and Zia Park and now gets a chance to take on the big girls.  The Conductor loves her steady progression, wins at multiple distances and trainer upgrade to Mott.  She’s as fast as any of these other girls on paper and the Conductor prays her price stays high.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 67k

#1 Lady Leah (5/1) – Drawn well to the inside, she was heavily bet in her debut and ran a quality 2nd.  She figures to enjoy the added distance she gets today and the Conductor also loves that Jose Ortiz road her in her debut as well.

Keeneland time, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 ½ Furlongs. F.Mdn 67k

#3 Urban Insight (4/1) – She has the highest early pace figs and is working well off a long layoff.  She showed ability in her debut and trainer Charles LoPresti is 19% with a +$2.56 ROI with runners off a 3 month+ layoff this year.

Race 2: 6 ½ Furlongs. MC 15000

#6 Gambler’s Choice (3/1) – He’s lightly raced, working well, dropping in class and has run a figure above par for this level at Keeneland.  That’s good enough for the Conductor.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. OC75000n2L

#1 Preamble (7/5) – Tough to go against the heavy favorite in here.  His debut win was far superior to any race run by his competitors today.  He’s working well and looks like a cinch.

Race 4: 1 ½ Mile. (Turf) Alw 71000n2x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Altito (12/1) – With an impressive 4-length victory on dirt last time, this gelding switches back to the turf, where he narrowly missed two starts back.  He can get the distance, is in great form, and is a proven winner, he has every chance.

Race 5:  6 Furlongs. F.MC 75000

#6 Carry the One (20/1) – She drops in class today and has been posting bullet works while she’s been away from the track.  She also gets Lasix for the first time and the Conductor won’t be surprised when she wins at a monster number.

Race 6: 6 ½ Furlongs.  F.Clm 30000b

#5 No Cacha Na (4/1) – She should improve returning to dirt and is taking a major drop in class.  She has figures above par for this level and trainer Tom Amoss is 31% with a +$1.03 moving horses from turf to dirt.

Race 7: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F. Alw 69000n1x

*Never a Doubt Bottle Service Lock of the Day #9 Pocket Book (4/1) – She’s the speed of the speed in this sprint and is posting monster works.  She has the best speed figs in the field, shortens in distance, and drops in class.  Give the Conductor his money.

Keeneland

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. F. OC 100000n2x

#6 Jump Ruler (7/2) – This race of devoid of any pace and she should get the easiest of trips on or near the lead.  She was overmatched vs Grade 1 company last time, but her race two back smashes this field.  Another easy winner.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile (Turf) F. G3 Valley View Stakes

#7 Colonia (6/1) – The Conductor thought she ran sneaky well in the G2 Sands Point last start.  It was a moderate pace and she was closing strongly after being hung 7-wide in the turn.  This is a wide open race and she has a good a chance as any with a clean trip.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. Mdn 67k

#8 Locally Owned (5/2) – 7f is a tough distance for 1st time starters at Keeneland to get.  This colt ran well in his debut, should appreciate the added distance and has experience.

Race 1: 1 1/16 Mile. MC 50000

#3 Yankton (3/1) – He drops out of a tougher race and should improve switching back to the dirt.  The one time he ran at this level, he was only beaten a length and his best figure.  This gelding should get a perfect trip today, up close or leading a slow pace.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. Clm 20000b

#5 Awesome Fu (6/1) – Finishing 3rd at this level last start.  He’ll appreciate the cutback to a sprint and his win two starts back can beat this group. Trainer Wesley Hawley is 24% with a +$0.09 ROI this year with horses going route to sprint.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. F. Clm 10000

#5 Kool Aid Girl (7/2) – She pressed a scorching pace off a year layoff last start and was only beaten two lengths.  She gets back to her preferred dirt surface today and trainer Tom Amoss is a sick 33% with horses 2nd off the claim this year.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. F.Mdn 67k

#8 Gold Credit (8/1) – She’s posted three very fast works entering her debut today and Jersey Joe ships in to ride.  She was sold for 160k at auction and trainer Ignacio Correas can hit with prices in these spots.  He’s 13% with a +$0.96 ROI with first time starters this year.

Race 5: 6 ½ Furlongs. Mdn 67k

*Never a Doubt Mortgage Lock of the Day #1 Souper Wish (5/1) – 5/1 is an asinine morning line, but even if the Conductor gets 2/1 he’ll be ecstatic. He’s been off since May, but the early fractions and speed figs he ran in his first two starts were ultra-impressive.  His work tab looks very solid and inside speed has been great so far this meet at Keeneland.  Call your parents to take a loan out and put it on this boy because he’s going to win for fun.

keeneland

Race 6: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F. Alw 71000n2x

#3 Factorofwon (5/1) – She ran some wicked early fractions last start vs tougher and was still only beaten two lengths.  If she runs a repeat effort of last time she will likely beat this group, let alone if she steps forward.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. F. Mdn 67k

#7 Eres Tu (4/1) – The Conductor doesn’t like any of the runners with experience in her besides the #8 Patsy at 4/1, so he’ll use only two here.  Eres Tu is debuting for top connections and her damn has produced two stakes winners from 3 starters.  Her work tab shows she’s ready to run and the Conductor has that feeling in his knee that she’ll put on a show.

Race 8: 1 ½ Mile. (Turf) G3 Sycamore Stakes

*Bonus Gullet Slit #9 Zulu Alpha (10/1) – The Conductor sees the most likely winner in this one to be #5 Arklow (5/2), but he gives this gelding a major chance.  He’s found his form this summer and you don’t see many horses win the way he did in his last star.  He’s got loads of potential and could surprise at a nice number.

Race 9: 6 ½ Furlongs. Mdn 67k

#1 Chaps (9/2) – Well bet in his debut at Keeneland, something went wrong and he’s had some time off since. He’s been working like a freight train entering today and has the early speed to make him dangerous.

#4 Unmatchable (4/1) – 225k, top connections, electric work tab, he is the Conductor’s top pick.

Wednesday’s Kill Shots at Keeneland

on By
A lineup of thoroughbred racehorses at the starting gate at Keeneland, featuring jockeys in colorful silks ready for the race.

Parx cancelled racing yesterday due to the jockeys not making weight. That was one of the strangest events the Conductor has seen in his 100 years playing the ponies.  Thankfully we get to take the train back up to Keeneland today where they would never allow such a thing to occur. Amateur hour.  The Conductor is angry his capping went to waste and I would be very scared if I were Keeneland today. He has fire in his eyes, let’s ride.

keeneland

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 15000

#2 Pinotage (8/1) – The Conductor hates that the favorites scratched in here because this is one of his favorite plays of the day.  Pressing a scorching pace vs tougher last start, she had no chance and the Conductor loves the cutback to a sprint.  She has past performances that can beat this level, including one on dirt and trainer Kellyn Gorder is 23% with a +$3.08 ROI moving runners from a sprint to route this year.

Race 2:  6 ½ Furlongs. F. Clm 16000

#2 Ivy’s College Fund (4/1) – Another filly dropping in class after pressing a hot pace last start, she looks like a clear stand out to the Conductor.  She shortens a furlong, likes Keeneland, and has early speed and back class.  She’ll help the Conductor’s college fund.

Race 3: 1 Mile (Turf) Mdn 67k

#9 Fake Solution (5/1) – This colt took money at the windows in his debut and ran an even 5th in a 12-horse field.  The pace was hot that day and this group is much weaker.  Maker’s horses get better with distance and the Conductor thinks this boy’s running style is perfect for a route.

Race 4: 1 1/16 Mile. F.Clm 7500

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Soaring Now (8/1) – She was up close to a hot pace in a race that collapsed behind her last start.  This race is devoid of pace and she should get a favorable trip up close to the lead.  Her speed figures fit for this level, she’s 1/1 at Keeneland and 2/2 at this distance.  Yum.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. Clm 40000

#10 Jerrid (8/1) – It’s the first time he’ dropped in for a tag in his career and that exactly what he needs.  It’s his first start off a long layoff, but that’s not a concern coming from Brad Cox’s barn.  He is working well and if he steps forward now as a 4-year-old he’ll be right there in the end.

Race 6: 5 ½ Furlongs (Turf) Alw 71000n2x

*Never a Doubt Free Vacation Lock of the Day #10 Snapper Sinclair (4/1) – He’s by far the class of the field as he battled on the Kentucky Derby trail earlier this year.  Since then he’s rested and returns to the racetrack in a spot he likes most, sprinting on the turf. He’s 2/2 sprinting on the grass in his young career and will make it 3/3 today.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.OC 75000n2L

#9 Midnight Karma (5/1) – First time in the Asmussen barn, the owners changed to a top trainer after she ran off the screen in her debut.  She didn’t try and ran a competitive figure against this group.  With any step forward she’ll leave them all in the dust.

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) Alw 5000s

Gullet Shot #7 Bacoli (20/1) – Exiting a win and the only runner in the field with a victory at this distance, the Conductor will take a swing with a bomb in the last.  He doesn’t have one favorite on the card today and Keeneland is about to pay dearly for Philly’s mistakes.

Race 1: 1 Mile. F.Clm 5000n2y

#4 Silver Silence (8/1) – She set a blistering pace last time vs tougher before hitting a brick wall.  The top two finishers in that race came back to win in their next start and this girl loves the Parx track.

Race 2: 6½ Furlongs. Clm 12500n2L

#6 Corsario (5/2) – In the battle of horses that hate to win, this gelding ran a career best last start, his first in the barn of trainer Michael Catalano Jr.  Catalano is a gaudy 7/16 with a +$0.68 ROI with runners in their 2nd start with him this year.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 5000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Stay West (30/1) – Another ridiculous morning line from Philly.  We won’t get near 30/1, but she still should be a big price.  She gets back to a fast dirt track today and is dangerous when she gets the early lead.  She has the strongest early pace figs in here and she can help the Conductor make Parx pay for its poor behavior yesterday.

Race 4: 6½ Furlongs. F.Clm 12500

#5 Aunt Rose (10/1) – Finally getting the class relief she needs, she’s a very consistent runner who runs her best on a fast dirt Parx track.  She’s shortening in distance, drawn well to the outside and is going to win this race.

Race 5: 1 Mile. Clm 25000n3L

#6 Howboutdempats (8/1) – He’s lightly raced and steadily improving while the favorites in here have proven they don’t like to win.  If he takes another step forward he has as good of a chance as any and the Sanchez/Allard jockey/trainer combo are red hot as of late.

Race 6: 1 Mile. F.Clm 10000

#5 Persuasive Girl (9/2) – She ran behind a heavy favorite last time at Parx, but the Conductor liked her performance.  There aren’t any world beaters in this field.

Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. S.Alw 39000n1x

#7 Jw’strickymischief (4/1) – He runs a quality race every time and is drawn well to the outside.  This colt shortening up in distance, has past speed figures above par for this level and his early pace figs last race are the best in this field.  That is a recipe for a winner.

Race 8: 7 Furlongs. Clm 40000n2L

#3 Star of Midnight (12/1) – He showed improved early pace figs in his last start and that race also came back very live.  In this wide open race the Conductor will go for a price.

Race 9: 1 Mile. Clm 5000

Never a Doubt T-Bond Lock of the Day #2 Bama Bound (6/5) – Just like the Saban on Saturdays, this Ol Boy will win for fun.  Roll Tide.

Monday’s Money Grab at Parx

on By
Horses and jockeys at the starting gate during a race at Parx Racing.

Major technical difficulties caused the site to be dead this weekend.  As the scribe, I will take full responsibility. The Conductor obviously had countless winners all over the place, but I could not get them to the masses. That’s on me and it will not happen again.  The Conductor told me I would be canned for sure if it happens again, so my ass is in the jackpot. The train is headed down to Parx to start the week, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 5 ½ Furlongs. Clm 12500n4L

#5 Warrior Lake (5/2) – Winner of his last two on different tracks, this boy will get the early lead and won’t look back.  Easy start to the day.

Race 2: 1 Mile F.Clm 12500n3L

#7 Savannah Roxanna (4/1) – This filly is dropping in class and has set scorching paces at Parx vs much tougher. She’ll appreciate this weaker group and will run her best in her third start off a layoff.

Race 3: 1 Mile. F. Alw 32000

#3 Viva Forever (4/5) – Gross heavy favorite.

Race 4: 6 ½ Furlongs. Clm 25000n2L

#5 Myakka River (7/2) – The Conductor doesn’t really have a clue in this race, but this is the one he ended up with on top.  Sometimes you just have to trust the Conductor’s left knee.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. S.Mdn 37k

#1 Thiscatcanjump (6/1) – His dam has two winners from two starters and trainer Lake Scott can get them to win first time out. He’s bred to sprint and has some nice works over this Parx surface entering today.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 45k

#4 Gates of Dawn (4/1) – Another first-time starter, this boy has the top jockey/trainer combo with Pennington/Servais.  The Conductor likes his work pattern and doesn’t think much of the two morning line favorites.  He’ll look for fresh blood.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. Clm 8000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Cause for Surprise (10/1) – Closing into a slow pace vs tougher last start, the Conductor is licking his chops if he gets anywhere close to 10/1.  Trainer Jaime Ness is red hot winning 5 of his last 12 starts, this is a little lesson in Uncle Mo.

Race 8: 7 Furlongs. F.S. Alw 39000b

*Never a Doubt Free Lunch and Gas to Start the Week #2 Sweet Pig (5/1) – Pressing a hot pace going longer, this is a sneaky big drop in class now facing only PA-breds.  She’ll appreciate the cutback in distance and has enough early pace to get a good trip from the 2-hole. Good Piggy

Parx

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 7500n3L

#11 Queen Fantabulous (15/1) – Drawn well to the outside, if you draw a line thru her last start, which was dismal, she has a good of a chance as any.  She has early gas and the Conductor thinks this race is wide open.  She’s worth a shot at a big number.

A positive Thursday with a few winners lets the Conductor load up for the late pick 4 at Keeneland.  With a ton of big racing on the route tomorrow, the Conductor narrows his focus today.  What a smart man.  Let’s hit this thing and have a hell of a weekend, Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 75000b

#1 Parlor (3/1) – Drawn well to the inside, he finished 3rd vs tougher last start.  He closed well into a tepid pace and has the strongest late kick in this field.  Another Kentucky Downs shipper that will win on the Keeneland turf.

Race 8: 1 1/6 Mile. Alw 69000n1x

*Never a Doubt Bottle Service Lock of the Day #6 Hollywood Star (5/1) – Exiting two sprint races at Saratoga, he should show some early speed in a race without much pace.  His best races have been routing and he was Grade 2 placed as a 2-year-old.  He’s working well and looks to be ready for a top performance.

Keeneland

Race 9: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F. Buffalo Trace Franklin County Stakes – G3

#12 Ruby Notion (5/1) – Winner of her 1st Grade 3 last start, this mare has never been better.  She continues to improve in Darrin Miller’s barn.  She has enough early gas to stay close to the pace, along with the fitness to finish strong.  What a great betting race this is.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. Clm 20000b

#11 Because It’s Time (4/1) – The long layoff is a concern for the Conductor with these low % connections, but his numbers stand out against this field.  If he shows up with a B effort that will be good enough to beat this group and at 4/1 its worth a bet.

#3 Come On Dover (4/1) – Taking a massive class drop, he showed good early speed before fading last start.  He looks to be rounding into form and has run multiple races early in the year that would blow this field away.

The rain thankfully missed Keeneland, so the Conductor is happy to see full fields and ample opportunities.  He’s planning on rolling into the weekend with deep pockets, so let’s build that bankroll. Let’s Ride

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. MC 50000

#9 Babeswildweekend (6/1) – Setting a scorching pace going a mile last start, the Conductor loves the cutback in distance.  He has the early speed to dictate good trip from the outside and the stamina to hold on after exiting a route.  Top jockey Shaun Bridgmohan hopping aboard is also a very positive sign.

Race 6: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 20000n2L

#9 Jukebox Money (4/1) – The Conductor likes the #9 again and for similar reasons.  Routing on turf last time, she set a blistering pace before fading late.  She’ll appreciate the cutback in distance and there is not much other speed signed on in here.  She can scamper away from this field.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 69000n1x

#4 Angel of Mischief (9/2) – She’ll be stretching out for the first time, but she has shown a strong finish in her first two starts.  She’s taken money at the windows, backed it up both times and the Conductor loves seeing two sprints to a route.

*Bonus Gullet Slit #2 Haniel (20/1) – Steadily improving, this filly ran a game 3rd setting the pace going longer last time at Kentucky downs.  She’s shortening in distance today and these Kentucky Downs shippers have been running great on the turf at Keeneland so far this meet.  The Conductor can smell a big effort.

Keeneland

Race 8: 1 Mile. OC 75000n2L

*Never a Doubt Speedboat Lock of the Day #4 Pole Setter (7/2) – In his first start last time in the Grade 3 Iroquois Stakes, he ran by far the best dirt race in this field.  He was bumped at the start, made a strong middle move and flattened out late for 3rd.  He’s been working well, shortens in distance and he will win for fun.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 69000n1x

#3 Art Collection (5/1) – The Conductor will play another Kentucky downs shipper on the grass here.  This colt has good early speed and pressed a hot pace to break his maiden last start.  Drawn well to the inside, he should get a perfect ground saving trip up close to the pace and the Conductor will bet KD made him fit enough to finish the job.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. Clm 7500

#6 Long On Luck (5/1) – Dropping off a win, this gelding is in great form winning two of his last 3 at Keeneland.  He is lightly raced and ran a few giant numbers very early in his career.  He seems to be pointing to one of those big efforts in the Jason Barkley barn and there is nothing special in this field.
