The Conductor’s lock of the day landed for the 2nd day in a row, but we’re not hitting many other prices.  Finally, the weather has cooperated, and the train gets to head back to Santa Anita where it belongs.  Let’s have ourselves a Saturday, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6½ Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 25000n2L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 George From Tahoe (4/1) – He ran a good 3rd vs similar on dirt last start and his best race came on this turf course in his debut.  He’s the only runner in the field that’s proven down the hill and he’s posting bullet works.

Santa Anita

Race 2: 5 ½ Furlongs. S.MC 50000

#7 Derby Luck (4/1) – He’s drawn well to the outside and has an early pace advantage over the field.

Race 3: 1 Mile. F.Clm 20000

#4 Mistressofthenight (7/2) – She was a beaten favorite last start, but she set a hot pace and ran a solid figure.  She’s beaten much tougher than this group in her career and gets back to Santa Anita where she runs her best.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. Clm 12500

#7 Tavasco Road (8/1) – Drawn well to the outside, this gelding is dropping out of a stakes race that came out very fast on the Conductor’s numbers. He’s also 1/1 at Santa Anita.

Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Mdn 55k

#8 Storms River (7/2) – Heavily bet in his first two starts, this boy will stretch out for the first time.  His even running style suggests he’ll appreciate longer.

Race 6: 6 ½ Furlongs. Clm 16000n3L

#4 Zippy Groom (8/1) – This group is evenly matched, and the Conductor is going for the longest shot on the board. Additionally, the Roman/Hess jockey trainer combo has been hot recently.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 55k

#3 Adare (8/1) – If you want to try to beat the Baffert runners, this colt is well-bred and his dam is 2/2 producing winners, including a stakes winner. Frano/Holledorfer are also a red-hot jockey/trainer combo.

Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 50000s

*Never a Doubt Sicko 5/1 Lock of the Day #7 More Honor (5/1) – He is 2/3 with a 2nd down the hill winning from off the pace and on the lead.  5/1 gets the Conductor tingly.

Santa Anita

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. G2 Palos Verdes

#4 St. Joe Bay (6/1) – If there is a time to beat the heavy favorite #7 Roy H (4/5), its today off the layoff.  This hard knocker ran a big figure in his win last start and runs his best at Santa Anita.

#8 Dearborn (9/5) – Dropping to the claiming ranks for the first time, she looks to be too much for this group.

PT 12:35pm ET Race 1: 1 Mile. F.Clm 20000

Race 2: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.Clm 16000n2L

#1 Sold on Salsa (5/1) – This filly pressed a hot pace and ran a decent 5th at this level lest start and she should improve in her 2nd start off the layoff.  She should get the early lead today, which is what she needs.

Race 3: 1 Mile. F.Mdn 50k

#2 Restructure (9/2) – She was heavily bet vs tougher in her debut and ran a solid effort.  She’s been off since May, but has been working well for good connections.

*Scratched #3 Macho Blue (6/1) – He freaked in his first try on grass last start, winning with ease.  He’s stepping up in class today, but the Conductor’s numbers never lie.

Gulfstream

Race 6: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) OClm 25000

#9 Art G is Back (10/1) – You don’t see many colts close into slow paces and win like he did in the 1st start of his career.  Especially at Gulfstream Park.

The Conductor may not be able to afford his trip to the Pegasus after this week. The train is leaking oil badly. Luckily, we get back to home base for the rest of the week and get to play the track the Conductor loves most, Santa Anita.  Just kidding, the card at Santa Anita got cancelled.

Race 1: 1 Mile. Clm 12500n3L

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 6250n3L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Blue Whale (12/1) – She ran the highest last figure in the field with her win last start.  At a big price, that’s all the Conductor needs to see.

Race 8: 1 Mile. Clm 20000

#9 Night Prowler (3/1) – This old man is dropping in class, in great form, and should run his best in his 2nd start off a layoff.

The Conductor started slowly out of the gate yesterday, but two 4/1 winners late made for an ok day.  We’re still in a hole from Monday, but nothing a trip down to Florida can’t fix. The Conductor is sharpening his axe for the Pegasus in two weeks.  Gulfstream will not survive. Let’s Ride.

#6 Chuck’s Dream (6/1) – He’s been off since July, but was running solid figures vs much tougher at Churchill this year and is working well entering today.  He has good early speed as well.

Race 3: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 30000n3L

#1 Onebreathatatime (3/1) – She showed a strong late kick, closing into a slow pace vs stakes company last start.  She hasn’t faced this weak of a group in her career.

Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 16000

#1 Mongo Nation (12/1) – He’s taking a big drop in class and Jose Ortiz stays aboard for a very small barn.  The Conductor will bet Jose knows this boy will run today.

Race 9: 1 Mile. F.OC 62500n2x

#3 She Takes Heart (6/1) – This mare set a blistering pace at this level last start and still held on for 3rd. She should be able to get an easier lead today at Gulfstream and will be very dangerous if she can ration her speed.

#7 Rumson Rally (9/2) – He didn’t run a step last start, but had a troubled trip and is plunging in class today.  He just missed against much tougher two starts back.

The Conductor was out watching the NFL playoffs yesterday and didn’t get to see the races run.  He awoke from his slumber on his friend’s couch this morning after too many stews last night and his bank account told him his picks stunk yesterday.  That means he has no choice but to play Parx on this fine Monday.  This week’s journey starts today, Let’s Ride.

The rain ruined the card at Santa Anita yesterday, with a lot of scratches and races taken off the turf.  The Conductor made due with a few short-priced winners including his Lock of the day, but we want big fields and big prices.  Without any precipitation in the forecast, the card should stay intact today.  C’mon California, you’re not allowed to rain, that’s why the Conductor plays your circuit. Stop being selfish, Let’s Ride.
