Goose egg Thursday at Gulfstream. We left the track off the hook after a strong Wednesday and now we must make up for it. Only winners today, losers not allowed Skip.
Race 2: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 89k
#8 Lady Astoria (5/1) – This filly ran an impressive 2nd switching to the turf off the bench last time. She missed the break then chased the pace 3-wide and uncovered around both turns. Hopefully she’s overlooked by the public because she was 20/1 last time, but she was bred to move forward on the turf. The Conductor will trust his eyes and bet this filly in her second start off a layoff if she’s 4/1 or better.
Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (All-Weather) Clm 12500b
#3 Etnico (5/2) – This colt won easy last time off the bench going 5 furlongs over this Gulfstream synthetic surface. He had outside pressure the entire turn and opened up like he was all alone. There is no horse in this field that can even pressure him early and the Conductor can’t see how he doesn’t go gate to wire. He may be hammered at the windows and be too short of a price, but if he is 2-1 or better that seems more than fair. Hopefully some of the other class droppers in here take money.
Race 6: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 89k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Perilous (4/1) – This is another filly who took a big step forward in her first turf start last time. She showed good speed out of the gate, but was shut off along rail and had to check sharply. Perilous then settled nicely and rallied for 2nd behind a gate to wire winner. She was best in that race and 3/1 or better would be delicious vs this field. Trainer Jose D’Angelo is also a ridiculous 34% with a +$1.09 ROI with 74 entries making their 2nd start with Lasix.
