The Conductor was garbage yesterday, but it doesn’t faze him one bit.  Gulfstream Park doesn’t want any part of the Conductor today, but guess what? He’s on his way. Protect your neck!  Let’s Ride.

 

PT 12:35 ET Race 1: 7 Furlongs. Clm 6250n1y

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 50000

#1 Nikee Kan (9/2) – She’s taking a significant class drop after facing open maiden special weights last time out where she ran an ok 4th with a troubled trip.  She’ll run 2nd at worst.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Clm 16000n3L

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 35000n1x

#9 Kallio (8/1) – Pressing a hot pace against much tougher at Keeneland last start, she’ll appreciate the shorter distance.  Her win two starts back was very impressive.

#3 Klington Warrior (12/1) – This colt has faced much tougher in his young career and has real early gas.  He’s been off since July and is working well.  If he can return to form after some rest, he’ll beat this group.

Race 6: 5 ½ Furlongs. Clm 7500n2L

#5 Rebel Vow (20/1) – #8 Fot (7/2) is the Conductor’s top pick, however this is the bomb the Conductor will key in the exotics.  He has the fastest early pace figures in the field and is dropping in class.  He’ll appreciate the shorter distance as well.

#6 Pinatubo (7/2) – He has good early speed and will appreciate cutting back to a sprint. He does his best running shorter.

Race 6: 1m70yds. Clm 8000

#9 Worth His Salt (7/2) – His last start was better than it looks on paper, pressing a hot pace and finishing 5th.  He’ll be facing significantly weaker today and has past figures that would hammer this field.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. Clm 10000

#4 Don’t Make it Easy (20/1) – He finished 4th behind the most likely winner in here #6 He’s Cotton.  He’s got early speed and has as good a chance as any if the favorite stubs his toe.

Race 8: 1 Mile. F.Clm 16000

#6 Gobi (3/1) – Just missing at this level last start, she’s consistently run the best figures in the field.  The Conductor will drop the hammer if she goes off at 3/1.

Race 9: 1 Mile. Clm 7500n2L

#8 Vinnyvinvincent (10/1) – He’s dropping in class and this will be his first try routing.  His even running style makes the Conductor believe he’ll love the added distance at Parx and the Conductor will key him in the trifecta.

The passengers are bleeding Conductor, we can’t afford another losing day!  As his scribe and loyal captain I will stay with him until the end, but Christ we really need something positive heading into the weekend.  Rest assured the Conductor was reading the form and watching the tape until his eyes bled last night.  The pony game is a fickle beast, and it is not playing nicely right now.  A sacrifice to the pony gods this morning is in order, the tide will turn at Gulfstream!

*Never a Doubt Bottle Service Lock of the Day #6 Yakut (5/1) – Dropping class, she ran the best race in this field last start pressing a hot pace and finishing 2nd.  She shortens a furlong, has hot connections, and the Conductor will bet her with both fists.

#10 Miss Martu (6/1) – She ran a huge 3rd last time in a stakes race at 52/1.  That performance looks legit on paper, she didn’t have much help closing into a moderate pace.  The Conductor thinks she can back up that effort.

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 30000n3L

#7 Queen Rose (8/1) – She showed a thunderous late kick last start, closing into a slow pace to win easily.  This field is similar to the last and she should get an even better setup today.

Race 8: 1 Mile. F.Clm 12500

#8 Galileo’s Affair (9/2) – They are going to fly up front in this race and she will get a perfect stalking trip.  While the others are backing up, she’ll eat them up down the stretch.

*Never a Doubt New Jet Ski Lock of the Day #2 Salt Pond (3/1) – She ran a good 3rd pressing a hot pace on an off track last time and she gets back to turf today.  Her win two starts back at Laurel buries this field.  The Conductor can’t wait to skip, skip, skip over the waves.

*Double Barrel Buckshots #3 Mija Bella (15/1) – The Conductor is looking for prices in this open race.  Her lone grass race was poor, but it was against much tougher and she’s run solid figures on dirt.  She is lightly raced and has major upside.

Race 7: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 60k

#8 Onthewaytonevrland (8/1) – He ran a big number in his debut baby race at Keeneland in the spring.  Posting bullet works for top connections, he’s bred for the turf and to be a good one.

Race 8: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 16000n1x

#4 Black Pepper (9/2) – His early pace figures on dirt give him an advantage in here and his dam has produced a turf winner.  His early gas is dangerous on any surface.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Bigshot Lacewell (8/1) – He just missed at this level two starts back and last time out he made an early move into a hot pace,. With common rivals finishing ahead of him at Remington Park last start, his price should stay high and he’ll get a more favorable trip today in a race without much pace.

Remington Park

Race 5: 1 Mile. Clm 15000n3L

#9 Cash Kitten (8/1) – Switching from turf to dirt, he will like the surface switch and has good early speed.  Shortening ½ furlong will also help his chances.

*Tuesday’s Throat Throttling #1 Our Musical Moment (15/1) – She’s the Conductor’s best bet of the day and he’s praying to the pony gods that her price stays high.  Setting a hot pace vs stakes company going a mile last time, she’ll love the cutback in distance today.  Her win two back at Remington Park will makes her competitive and she’ll be better with added fitness.

Race 8: 5 ½ Furlongs. Alw 34000n1x

#10 Sendmethemoney (8/1) – Another cutback horse, he set a hot pace going a mile last time and is 2/2 in his career sprinting.  The cutback will hit him right between eyes and his last race came back very live.  The Conductor accepts Venmo.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 7500

#7 Feels Right (6/1) – There is not much to like in this group, so the Asmussen 1st time starter is aptly named for the Conductor. His right knee has that twinge.

#1 Mjolnir (10/1) – Throw out his last race on a sloppy track, he’s run some very competitive numbers on turf for this level in his last few starts.  With the blinkers coming off, he should be able to sit off ha hot pace and come running late.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 6250n3L

#1 Ledecky (3/1) – In her first dirt start last time, she ran her best career race and won nicely.  The dirt may be what she’s wanted all along.

#7 Champagne Bliss (4/1) – Dropping in for a tag for the first-time last start, she ran a solid 2nd after stumbling at the start.  She should get a perfect trip today from the outside post.

Race 4: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

*Atom Bomb Shot of the Day #2 Artesian (20/1) – Winner of her last start on synthetic, this mare will get another chance on turf, which she hasn’t gotten in years.  This is a weak group for this level and if she can translate her form to the grass she’ll have a chance.  The Conductor will key her in the trifecta as a bomb.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 12500

*Sunday Night Scary Preventer Lock of the Day #8 Southern Toddy (4/1) – The Conductor will go with this 1st time starter as there is no form to like in this race.  Trainer Armando De La Cerda is 27% with a +0.27 ROI debuting maiden claimers this year, and we get red hot Luis Saez in the irons.

 

Race 6: 1 Mile. Clm 6250

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Nephew Howard D (20/1) – Pressing scorching paces at this level in his last two starts, he’s still hung around to hold for 2nd and 4th.  He’s improving in the Bobby Dibona barn and posted a nice work last week.  He’s another bomb the Conductor will key in the trifecta.

Race 7: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 16000

#8 Uno Emayo (8/1) – He won at this level two starts back and last time he ran a terrific 2nd, closing into a slow pace.  He loves this distance and has a hot jockey/trainer combo.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 60k

*Double Atom Bomb Shot of the Day #1 Killa Dee (20/1) – Bullet works at Gulfstream and a trainer that can surprise with 1st time starters, the Conductor is trying to rip out Gulfstream’s soul today.

Race 9: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Clm 16000n3L

#11 Run Blondie Run (4/1) – Much improved now in the Yvon Belsoeur barn, she’s in good form and a repeat effort of her last start will be tough to beat in here.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) MC 20000

#6 Indurate (8/1) – He’s been off since the summer, but he’s plunging in class and received the ultimate equipment change.  Nothing like a good clipping to wake a horse up.
