2/2 with 13/1 and 4/1 winners yesterday at Belmont. We are not worthy passengers. The Ductor is too good for us. I just bought 100 t-shirts at full price to thank him for his services, its the least I can do.Mother nature is the only thing that can slow down the Ductor at Belmont, so he’ll turn his attention to Churchill Downs today. Stakes racing all day. Skip
Churchill Downs Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. F.Shawnee Stakes
#2 La Renoleta (8/1) – #7 Envoutante (4/5) is the clear one to beat, but if there is anyone that could surprise in this field is the #2. Undefeated in Argentina, she romped in her US debut then something went wrong and she didn’t do much running in her comeback effort. She’s working fast entering today and the Conductor thinks we see her real self in this one.
Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F.Regret G3 Regret Stakes
#7 Gam’s Mission (5/1) – Her only loss was in her debut to Aunt Pearl and the Ductor really liked her last win. She had to wait behind horses then exploded down the stretch and galloped out nicely. She is steadily progressing and could be a nice one.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. Matt Winn-G3
#2 Helium (5/2) – He let the Ductor down in the Derby, but he didn’t run poorly there. He should get the job done today.
Churchill Downs Race 10: 6 Furlongs. AristidesL150K
*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Mojo Man (10/1) – The most intriguing stakes on the card from a betting perspective, the Conductor sees the pace heating up in this one and this gelding will be finishing late. He’s exiting a tougher race and ran well last time despite breaking poorly. With a cleaner trip today, the Conductor thinks he has every chance.
