A nice little twilight card with no rain today in New York. With the Preakness only 9 days away, we need to fill up the train at Belmont Park with funds fast. Let’s Ride!
Race 1: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x
#5 Crimson Forest (6/1) – 2nd off the layoff, she’s been running competitive figures for this level on dirt and has only tried the turf once in her career. She’s bred to handle the lawn just fine.
Race 2: 5 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 62k
#3 American Song (5/2) – Trainer Jeremiah Englehart has a positive ROI this year with 1st time starters and this girl’s sire hits at 18% with debut runners.
Race 3: 1 ¼ Mile. (Inner Turf) Mdn 90k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Tiberius Mercurius (6/1) – 2nd off the layoff, this colt ran a strong 2nd last start, closing into a slow pace. He also gets a rider upgrade to Jose Ortiz.
Race 4: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 40000
#2 Thomond Park (6/1) – Just missing last time at Tampa, he’ll appreciate the shorter distance and the Conductor has seen a lot of Tampa shippers run very well lately.
Race 5: 7 Furlongs. S.OC 40000n2x
#5 Real Dan (4/1) – 2/2 in his 1st two starts, he looks to get a perfect trip stalking a quick pace.
#7 Sicilia Mike (8/1) – He won’t win, but he’ll hit the board. The Conductor will key him underneath in the exacta and trifecta.
Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 12500
#6 Riot Worthy (9/2) – The Conductor will key her in the exacta because she loves to run 2nd. She looks to get a dream trip, closing into a hot pace.
Race 7: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 80k
#1/1A Entry (5/2) – The Conductor likes both runners, he hopes neither scratch and he can single here.
Race 8: 1 3/8 Mile. Flat Out Stakes 100k
*Never a Doubt Tell Your Boss Your Taking Friday Off and Have Yourself a Long Weekend Lock of the Day #5 Rocketry (9/5) – He had no chance last start at Gulfstream trying to close into a ridiculously slow pace. 2nd off the layoff, he’ll annihilate this Belmont field.
Race 9: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x
#4 Love and Love (20/1) – The Conductor will take a shot in a wide-open race. She’s run well both sprinting and routing, which the Conductor like to see.
