The Train is Rolling: Throat Shot Thursday at Santa Anita Park

The Conductor's Scribe

Chooo!!!!! Chooooooo!!!!! 10/1, 4/5 lock, 4/1 gullet shot, 7/5, and 4/5 winners yesterday along with a 27/1 shot finishing 2nd.  That’s how you cap Conductor!  The Conductor should probably stay at Gulfstream today, but Santa Anita is home.  The trains in 5th gear, hold on tight, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 25000n2L

#2 Chalky (8/1) – Her last race was heinous, but if you can forgive that effort she has multiple races that make her competitive against this weak field.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 55k

#1 Harper’s Gallop (4/1) – This filly’s dam is 1/1 producing a stakes winner and she’s working well.  Carava surprised with a debut runner recently.

Race 3: 6½ Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 55k

#6 Dimkar (4/1) – He was supposed to run down the hill last start, but the race got rained off the turf.  He showed fast early pace figures on dirt and should improve in his 2nd start off a layoff.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. MC 20000

#5 Race (4/1) – Trainer Tim Yakteem has won 3 of his last 4 races at the meet and the Conductor likes this gelding’s consistent work-tab.

#9 Nymphesa (20/1) – This filly made an early move last race then flattened out down the lane.  In her 2nd start off a layoff she’ll have more stamina and will be a big number.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 25000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Just Whistle (6/1) – Making his return to the races after a 6-month layoff, this colt showed real talent as a 3-year old.  If he comes ready, he’s your winner.

5-1 For Under Bat Last Week: Let’s See What He’s Got For Big Monday

The Bat is getting cocky and only gave us two nights worth of winners last week. The Conductor is very annoyed by his antics, he could learn a thing or two by the Conductor’s work ethic.  However, money is green and if he keeps this performance up he can be as big of a dick as he wants.

One lonely short priced winner made it one sad and lonely Friday night for the Conductor.  No bottle service for him.  Losers let a bad day get to them, and winners get excited the next morning because they know their due.  A nice cup of mud for the Conductor in his capping lair this Saturday morning ensures his brain is firing on all cylinders.  Glory is right in front of us, let’s take it.  Let’s Ride.
