2 min read
Another solid day for the Conductor as Force Feed Friday Play of the Day #9 Night Time runs 2nd at 11/1 in the 8th and Silver Prospector wins at 5/2 in the 9th. The races will finally be back on the turf Saturday and the Conductor is ready to pounce. Keep loading the coal, Let’s Ride.
Race 6: 1 Mile. F.OC 80000b
#2 Gold Standard (9/5) – 2nd off the layoff today, she moved early into a hot pace last time. The Conductor doesn’t see anyone else beating her.
Race 7: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) OC 62500n2x
#1 Bourbon in May (3/1) – Closing into a slow pace last time, he ran even better than it looks. He continues to progress in the Maker barn.
Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.Mdn 85k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #11 Minute Waltz (10/1) – The Conductor loves her work tab with two bullet 5 furlong works and trainer Philip Bauer can win with first timers. The runners with experience aren’t standouts in here.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 150000b
#2 Fact Finding (4/1) – This old man is in great form and will get the early lead. He has a major chance to take them all the way around.
#8 Captivating Moon (5/1) – He had not shot last time stuck behind horses and a slow pace. 3rd off the layoff today he’ll be rumbling late.
Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 50000
#4 A Kitten for Katie (5/1) – The runners with experience in here aren’t anything special. This 1st timer for Maker fits nicely.
