Thursday‘s opinion at Del Mar was dud and there will be no racing at Saratoga Friday. This week just keeps getting better. At least we don’t have to worry about rain on the west coast. Let’s Ride.

Race 4: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 40000

#2 Tiergarten (5/1) – This mare drew the 8 post last time and ran better than it looks with a terrible trip. She was 2-wide and uncovered on the 1st turn, then pressed 3-wide, uncovered on the backstretch and 2nd turn. Now she draws well to the inside for the first time this year and looks to get a much better ground saving trip. Tiergarten has multiple races in her past that can beat this group and she’ll be a square price above 7/2.

Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 30000n3L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Explain This Audit (5/1) – The Conductor’s best bet of the day comes in the finale. This gelding ran very well vs tougher last time. He was 3-wide on the 1st turn, then 2-wide and covered on the 2nd turn 3rd turns. He ran a strong late pace figure that day and now drops in class and cuts back in distance. The Conductor thinks he’s the most likely winner of the race and he won’t be the favorite.
