Time to get this train running with Saratoga right around the corner. As we prepare for the upcoming festivities, it’s essential to ensure that all the passengers have a memorable Independence Day celebration at Aqueduct. The Conductor will be back posting every NYRA race day with turf racing through the summer. Let’s start piling the coal. Skip.
Race 6: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) OC 80000b
#8 Cloudy (6/1) – This horse has shown versatility in his career, winning at both at 5 1/2 furlongs and 1 mile on the turf. Last time off the bench routing at Aqueduct, he was rank and uncomfortable the entire 1st turn and along backstretch. After expending all that wasted energy early, he didn’t run a terrible race. With that start under his belt, he can run a top effort today if he can relax. The far outside post is the Conductor’s only concern.
Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. F.G3 Victory Ride Stakes
*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 Emery (6/5) – The Conductor is hoping this filly is north of even money. Since the #1 and the #5 have formidable speed figures, he thinks it’s possible. This filly broke the Conductor’s jaw with the way she won last time. She floated wide around the turn and moved past some solid horses like they were standing still. Gaffalione didn’t move an inch in the saddle. Cox is shipping this one to Aqueduct to pick up an easy stakes victory before the Saratoga meet. The Conductor hates chalk, but she’s your 4th of July stone cold lock.
