1 min read
Yes I am Free at 6/1 saved Thursday at Gulfstream for the Conductor, but man did he need Real Talk in the 7th. He’s still excited to head back out west for Friday. Let’s Ride.
Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) OC 100000n1x
#6 Gator Shining (5/1) – This colt rallied nicely to break his maiden last time and he looks to get a nice trip today with a hot pace to run at.
Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 10000
#9 Wandering Patrol (2/1) – Drawn well to the outside with an early pace advantage, she looks tough to beat.
Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) OC 62500n2x
#3 Salvator Mundi (4/1) – He ran a huge late pace figure last time at this level closing into a slow pace. The mile is his best distance as well.
Race 8: 1 Mile. OClm 40000
#1 Zestful (5/2) – Without anyone else wanting the lead, he’ll be difficult to pass in the stretch.
Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 25000
*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Camino de Estrella (10/1) – #7 Fly to Mars (3/1) looks tough in here, but the Conductor sees this gelding taking a big step forward at price. 2nd off the layoff and claim and switching to turf, his races on the lawn fit with this group.
