Happy Friday, passengers. No Santa Anita today with the terrible fires out in California. Hopefully, they’ll be back stronger than ever this weekend. The Conductor likes two horses at Gulfstream today, and he’ll post plays from Sunland Park as well this afternoon. At Iron Bets, if you wager $250 or more at Sunland Park today, you get a FREE $20 bet. Let’s head into the weekend strong. Skip.
Race 2: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 94k
#3 Lean Music Machine (5/2) – This gelding ran very well in his turf debut off a long layoff last time. He chased 3-wide and uncovered on the turn and rightfully tired late. The Conductor expects a forward move off that race and he draws a more favorable post today. 2/1 or better is worth a bet vs this group.
Race 7: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 35000N1x
#8 Aspen Dawn (4/1) – This filly has suffered wide trips in her last two starts. The Conductor would argue she was best last time closing wide for 3rd against the flow. Unfortuneately, she draws another outside post today, but she does get a turf rider upgrade to Dylan Davis. The Conductor will trust Davis to give her a fair chance, and that’s all Aspen Dawn needs to get her picture taken today.
