Saturday was a compete gambling debacle. Nothing more, nothing less. A weaker man would suck his thumb and lay rotting in bed while reevaluating his decision making. It takes a real warrior to get up the following morning, drink a stew and prepare to fire away with both fists at Belmont. That’s why he is the Conductor and we are passengers. Never Surrender! Let’s Ride.
Race 1: 6 Furlongs. S.Clm 25000
#3 Summer Bourbon (4/1) – Mmmmhhmmmm bourbon.
Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 40000
#9 Ghostly Beauty (8/1) – Moving into a higher % barn, her race at Belmont two back will give her every chance. Trainer David Duggan is 21% with a +$2.17 ROI this year 1st off the claim.
Race 3: 6 ½ Furlongs. G2 Gallant Bloom Stakes
#3 Come Dancing (1/5) – Chalk
Race 4: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.Mdn 75k
#1 My Happy Place (9/2) – The Conductor likes her steady progression and she’s bred to take to the furf just fine. The Conductor will be in his happy place today, his couch.
Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x
#5 Reversethedecision (2/1) – This filly ran some very strong pace figures last year. With maturity, she’ll be tough to beat.
Race 6: 7 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 62k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Courted (6/1) – Trainer Jorge Abreau is 24% with a +$1.68 ROI with first time starters this year and this girls sire is winning at a 16% clip with debut runners. Castellano taking the mount also catches the Conductor’s eye.
Race 7: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.Ashley T. Cole Stakes 125k
#3 Gucci Factor (5/2) – This gelding loves to win and Belmont Park.
Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.Alw 77000n1x
#1/1A Entry (7/2) – The Conductor thinks both Cannizzo’s runners have a major chance.
Race 9: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.S. John Hettinger Stakes 125k
#7 Wegetsdamunnys (8/1) – #9 Fifty Five (6/5) will be tough to beat, but the Conductor will key around this girl. She ran a good 4th last time closing into a slow pace and will have every chance today with a more favorable setup.
Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) S.Alw 66000n1x
*Underneath Uppercut #6 Nutzforboltz (10/1) – He doesn’t like to win, but he should get a hot pace to close into and will be finishing late. The Conductor will key him underneath in the exacta and trifecta.
