1 for 2 Saturday with a 6/5 winner. Live to play another day. Aqueduct has come to and end and Saratoga is waiting for us. Let’s shut this place down in style. Skip

Race 2: 1 Mile. (Turf) S. Hudson Valley Stakes

#4 Dakota Gold (6/1) – This gelding hasn’t run on a firm turf course in his last 5 starts. The last time he did going 1 mile, he won by open lengths. His effort off the layoff in April was ok. He looked like he needed it and was wide around both turns. Getting back to his best surface and distance today, the Conductor sees him firing a big effort. #1 Spirit of St Louis (1/1) will be tough to beat, but Dakota Gold has upside making his just his 2nd start of the year. He will be a major overlay.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.S.Port Washington Stakes

#3 Lisa’s Vision (15/1) – The Conductor is ignoring her last race in the slop and her prior dirt races last year. She showed real ability prior on the turf and even beat the heavy favorite in this race, #5 Silver Skillet (6/5), going 7 furlongs. She’s won routing before and can take a big step forward today making her 2nd start off he bench with the surface switch. With Franco in the saddle, you know she’ll get a good trip as well.

Race 7: 6½ Furlongs. F.S.Alw 80000n1x

*Gullet shot of the Day #8 Capital Gal (5/1) – There is absolutely no other early speed in this dirt sprint. This mare has some and she looks to get an ideal trip either setting or pressing a slow pace 2-wide. She had a no chance trip on turf last time and her win on dirt two back at Finger Lakes makes her a contender vs this weak Aqueduct group.
