Horses racing on a track with a grandstand and sunset in the background.

Lock and gullet shot winner along with a few 2nds made it a slightly positive Tuesday for the Conductor.  Now he gets to take little mid-week trip down to the Fair Grounds. The Conductor likes the card today, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Clm 12500n3L

#5 Bellas Run (6/1) – She needed her last race after a long layoff and still ran ok against tougher.  Dropping in class for solid connections, she’ll be more fit today and can beat this group.

Race 2: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 15000b

#3 Shakes Creek (7/2) – Taking a massive class drop for top trainer Brad Cox, his race two starts back at the Fair Grounds crushes this field.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 12500

*Never a Doubt Hump Day Lock #8 Captain Livi (3/1) – 2nd off the layoff she’s shown strong early pace figures against miles tougher.  She’s a cinch.

Race 4: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) MC 30000

#9 Federal Dominance (6/1) – 1st time gelding and dropping to the claiming ranks for the 1st time, over 4/1 and the Conductor will be happy.

Race 5: 1 Mile. Clm 5000n3L

#8 Opportunity Cost (12/1) – He was very rank in his last start and the Conductor will ignore it.  Switching back to dirt and working well, he has the back class to surprise this field at a big number.

Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 40k

#2 Sail On (3/1) – This 475k filly is working like she’s the goods.

Race 7: 1 Mile. Clm 5000b

#1 Felipe (8/1) – Going two sprints to a route, he’s drawn well to the inside and his best races were going longer.  He hasn’t faced this weak of competition in his career.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) OC 50000n1x

#3 Moon Launch (6/1) – He moved up in a big way last start in his first try on the lawn.  A repeat effort will give him every chance and he’ll be able to get the early lead again today.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. S.Clm 5000b

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Sean (8/1) – Close to a hot pace last start going longer, the Conductor loves the cutback to a sprint for him today.
