Everyone knows weekday racing is for the birds. Saturday at Churchill Downs is where the actions at. The Conductor’s Breeders’ Cup hangover is over, Let’s Ride.
Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) OC 62500n2x
#10 Holiday Stone (6/1) – Dropping out of Grade 3 company, his race two back gives him every chance. He looks to get a good trip in here, with a hot pace to run at.
Race 8: 1 Mile. Clm 50000b
*Gullet Shot of the Day 10 Lonely Private (6/1) – Stretching out for the first time, he’ll be able to put himself in a good spot early in a race without much other pace. Trainer Wesley Hawley is also 3/11 with a +$0.64 ROI this year taking the blinkers off.
Race 9: 1 Mile. F.Alw 87000n1x
#4 Ocean Breeze (8/5) – After her wide trip last time at Churchill Downs, she should be able to handle this group. Her love for 2nd scares the Conductor, but he will stay strong.
Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.G2 Mrs. Revere Stakes
*Chiseled in Stone Lock of the Day #1 Hendy Woods (3/1) – Dropping out of a much tougher Grade 1 field that has come back live, she ran pretty well up close to a quick pace last time. Press her.
Race 11: 1 Mile. F.Mdn 85k
#9 Empress Catherine (6/1) – She was hammered at the windows at Churchill Downs in her debut and didn’t show much. The Conductor will forgive that effort and bet she shows her real ability here.
