Aqueduct picks, best bets, and full-card handicapping from The Pony Conductor for the Big A in Queens, NY. Coverage of the fall championship meet and winter inner-track season, including the Cigar Mile, Wood Memorial, Remsen, and Gotham Stakes. Race-by-race value plays every weekend.
Napoleon Solo (7/1) got the job done at Pimlico. Right horse, right price — the kind of result that reminds you why he is the Conductor and we are not worthy. Thank you Mr. Ductor for my weekend coal, you are the greatest. Up to New York we go, Skip.

The Conductor will be staying at NYRA for the time being. The product is what it is, the takeout is what it is, and there are a lot of things that kick horseplayers in the dick, but at least NYRA is doing a little something. The late Pick 5 is allegedly CAW-free, and that matters.

9) 1,5 / 9,10,12
Good Luck, Passengers.
A poor finishing day at Keeneland with the chalk dominating means the Conductor isn’t headed to Louisville just yet. He like the card at Aqueduct as long as the races stay on the turf.
Let’s have a prosperous day in New York
