Green Bay +155 made the Conductor a happy man last night, but he’ll never get that 3 hours back of his life. What a brutal game to watch. Belmont Park racing has returned and its time to head into the weekend with train gaining speed. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 Mile. S.Alw 66000n1x

#1 Bebe Banker (20/1) – She ran an even 4^th at this level at Saratoga last start and will closer to the lead today in a race whatsoever. The Conductor sees him hitting the board at a big price.

#6 Red Zinger (7/2) – Returning to dirt and stretching out to a route, he’s the Conductor’s top pick in here. He has a major early pace advantage over this field.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Mdn 62k

#1A Strongerthanuknow (5/2) – Her early speed gives her a major edge against this group.

Race 3: 7 Furlongs. F.S.Clm 25000

#7 First Forevor (6/1) – 1^st off the claim for a red hot Englehart barn, she looks to get a favorable trip on or near a slow pace.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) Mdn 75k

#8 Imperial Moment (9/2) – Bred well for the grass, the Conductor likes his work tab and bullet August 17. Castellano rarely rides for Mott, which also catches the Conductor’s eye.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.OC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Stonefactor (12/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, she’s 1/1 at Belmont and it came at this distance. She set a hot pace last time and ran well to hang on for 3^rd. She’s very dangerous on the early lead and she should get it again today.

Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. F.Mdn 75k

#2 Stand for the Flag (6/5) – She ran an extremely strong late pace figure last time at Belmont Par, closing into a slow pace. She’ll like the added distance.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) Christiecat Stakes 100k

#5 Dancing Vega (5/1), #7 Turf War (10/1) – Whenever Chad has two runners that aren’t favorites, one of them wins.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.S.Mdn 62k

*Never a Doubt Friday Night Stew Lock of the Day #9 Astoria Kitten (7/2) – Heavily favored in her debut, she hit the gate at the start and moved early into a hot pace. The Conductor sees a monster effort coming today.
