The Conductor saw the ball well Thursday. A 5/2 winner, a 20/1 shot who lost a photo, and 4/1 2nd is a good sign of things to come. While it could have been a banner day, we will focus on the positives #matureductor. Gulfstream better protect its neck. Skip.
Race 2: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 89k
#5 Definite Diva (8/5) – This filly was stuck on the rail vs the boys last time at Gulfstream and never got out. She galloped out in front of the pack and showed that she was itching for room to run. She ran very well in her debut as too, after being slammed at the start. The Conductor doesn’t typically talk up chalk, but he can see her being a lukewarm 2/1 favorite since she has yet to run fast speed figures. If that is the case, the Conductor will hammer this filly. He sees her obliterating this field with a clean trip. Definite Diva has talent.
Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 25000
*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Lady Monique (15/1) – This filly didn’t have the early speed to have and chance sprinting on the synthetic last time. She finished well down the stretch and looks poised to stretch out in distance. This move is Trainer Guadalupe Preciado’s specialty. He’s 27% with a +$2.12 ROI this year with first time routers. Exiting that 5-furlong sprint, she’ll be up close to a moderate pace and can light up the tote at a big number.

#7 Celebrity Ro (6/1) – This filly was well bet on debut at Gulfstream for the Bryan Lynch barn. She had no chance that day after a poor start. She was well back in a merry go round race with a slow pace up front. The Conductor likes that Jose Ortiz stays aboard as well. She’ll take a big step forward after all the adversity she faced last time. 5/1 or better is certainly worth a bet.
