The Conductor is on vacation for a wedding this week. He’s not getting married, he’s not an idiot but he’s got a lot of things like unlimited stews and gators on the golf course to worry about.

The Conductor's Scribe

The Conductor continues to harm himself mentally, physically, emotionally and financially, but that’s the cross he bears. He is free to conduct as he pleases because of the brave men and women who have lost their lives protecting this great country.  Today we celebrate those soldiers by drinking more stews and betting ponies not because we want to, but because its what they would have wanted.  The Conductor thanks all those who have served and are serving.  Let’s have ourselves a Monday, Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x

#7 Shady Shady Shady (6/1) – 2nd off the layoff, this filly is dangerous. You don’t win at toga by open lengths without talent.
