The Conductor last talked to us on a Preakness Day, where we were bleeding out at Belmont and Pimlico until the feature:
Good Skip. The last race of the day can always solve your problems passengers, you know that. The rain in New York had the Conductor passing on Sunday’s card, but thankfully the weather looks great for Memorial Day Weekend. Enjoy your time at the beach, summers finally here. The Conductor will be in his cockpit at Belmont Friday through Monday. Someone’s got to work. Skip.
Race 2: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 32000
*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Jackie the Joker (12/1) – In her first start on the turf last time, she ran well with a terrible turf trip pressing 3wide uncovered the entire turn. That was also in a sprint race that melted down and now she stretches out 1st off the claim. She’s bred for the turf and the Conductor has no clue what’s taken connections so long to try it. The new barn seems to be smarter and she has an early pace edge over this group. The Conductor sees her popping a career best effort today.
Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 50000n2L
#3 Mauritius (5/2) – This gelding took a big step forward in his 1st try routing on the Belmont turf last time. He ran a solid 3rd and galloped out well in front of the rest. The 2nd place finisher has already come back to win and Mauritius should run even better today in his 2nd try mowing.
Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) MC 40000
#7 Chess Spectacular (4/1) – Can the Conductor interest you in a 3rd 2nd time turfer? Well of you like money you’ll bite. He ran a strong closing 4th last time, making up ground behind a slow pace. Additionally, he had a bad turf trip 3-wide and uncovered both turns. With the move this gelding showed Mr. Ductor on the turn, he’ll graduate today.
