An 8/1 gullet shot Sunday that needed one more jump… More pain and rain in forecast at Gulfstream this weekend. The train continues onward. How much further onward? The Conductor is not sure, but the coal pile is slowly dwindling. Hopefully, we don’t have to throw a few passengers out the window to lighten the load. Skip.
Race 3: 1 Mile. Clm 6250n3L
#4 Gonna Be Epic (12/1) – This gelding has been progressing at Tampa vs tougher and now ships to Gulfstream for a hot Delgado barn. His two wins are over this dirt track and his speed figures fit right in with this group. 5/1 or better works for the Conductor, hopefully the morning line maker is correct.
Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 89k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Positive Carry (9/2) – This is another morning line that is likely too high, but 3/1 or better is still a play for the Ductor. This filly ran a very good 2nd at Saratoga in her debut vs a much saltier group. Her return race off the layoff last time was better than it looks as well. That effort was over the synthetic and she sustained her finish despite being wide around both turns and closing into a slow pace. With a nice inside draw here and getting back to her preferred surface, the Conductor will be surprised if she doesn’t get her picture taken.
Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 25000s
#2 Dontmesswithtess (8/1) – This mare was favored in her last start at this level and something clearly went wrong. She’s had a two month break since and has been working well for solid connections. Both of her turf wins have come over this Gulfstream turf course and she has a class edge over this field. If Maker is bringing her back at the same level, then she’s still has something left in the tank. With a nice inside draw Tess can show these ladies who’s boss.
