Ouster losing a photo Thursday was a nice hoof to the groin to start the racing week. Unfortunately, we’re off the turf today at Aqueduct when the Conductor had some prices up his sleeve. We’ll make do. Skip.
Race 5: 6 Furlongs. S.Mdn 75k
#1 Clancy Fancy (10/1) – This gelding took a big step forward off the bench last time. He lunged at the break and still showed early speed and hung on for 3rd. He’s lightly raced and now adds blinkers for the 1st time. The Conductor likes Clancy Fancy’s upside making his 2nd start off the layoff and 2nd start in the Englehart barn. Gate to wire.
Race 8: 7 Furlongs. F.S.OC 80000n1x
#1 Walk With Me (9/2) – They bet this filly to favoritism last time off a short break going 1 mile at this level. She dropped too far back behind a slow pace that day, but still grinded her way for 2nd. They add the blinkers to her for the 1st time today and she has shown early speed in the past. With a cleaner trip today she can beat this field with the scratch of the #6.
Race 9: 1 Mile. S.MC 40000
*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 Wo Hop (8/1) – This gelding took money vs maidens in his debut last time and ran poorly in the slop. With just a 42k purchase price, the drop to this level after one start doesn’t concern the Conductor at all. Also, there is no rain in the forecast the rest of the day and the track will be drying out by post time. Now making his 2nd career start for Mott with Lasix added on a good surface, he can take a big step forward. This is a very weak field after the surface change and scratches at Aqueduct. It wont take much for him to jump up and beat this group.
