1/3 Thursday at Del Mar with a 9/1 winner made it a very profitable trip to the west coast. Let’s keep the pedal down. Skip.
Race 4: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 75k
#7 Kale’s Angel (5/1) – This colt was hammered in his debut despite Peter Miller’s poor numbers with 1st time starters on the turf. He set the pace before tiring that day, but the race had a closer flow. The Conductor doesn’t think this is a very strong field and sees him taking a big step forward in his 2nd career start.
Race 6: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 75k
#8 Running Spartan (10/1) – This gelding was pinballed at the break and finished well down the stretch last time. That was his first start on turf and that race was dominated by the frontrunners. He showed he has early speed in his his debut on dirt two back, and gets a rider upgrade to Rispoli today. Running Spartan looks primed to run a peak effort here.
Race 7: 1 Mile. S.OC 20000n1x
#4 Be Punctual (12/1) – The Conductor likes two prices in this race. This gelding reminds him a lot of the 9/1 winner yesterday. Switching from the turf last time, he won nicely in his first start going 1 mile on the dirt. His speed figure was competitive with this group and he may have finally found what he like to do best. Be Punctual should take another step forward here.
#6 Logon to Win (10/1) – There isn’t much early speed in this dirt race, and this gelding is exiting turf sprints. He’s won sprinting on the dirt before and will stretch out in distance for the first time. The Conductor is expecting Berrios to send him right to the front and that makes him very dangerous. Any horse with the lead on this speed favoring Del Mar dirt track can’t be ignored.
