The rain was worse the Conductor expected Thursday and another Gulfstream card was ruined. Off the turf again today, the Conductor will try to make due. Skip.
Race 5: 5 Furlongs. (All-Weather) F.Mdn 89k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Caboodle (9/2) – This filly was favored on turf last time and ran well despite a brutal trip. Her debut 2nd on the synthetic two starts back was above par for this level. If she really goes off the 2nd or 3rd choice today, she is the value. She is the most likely winner and the Conductor is hoping for 3/1 or better.
Race 8: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 20000n1x
#6 Tap Gold (6/1) – The Conductor likes this gelding quite a bit after scratches. There is absolutely no other early pace in this race and Tap Gold has wired the field over this Gulfstream all-weather surface in 3 of his last 4 starts. He’s stepping up in class today, but this is a weak state-bred field and the contenders would prefer for this race to be run on turf.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (All-Weather) F.Mdn 89k
#3 Jessamine Hill (5/2) – This filly’s debut over this Gulfstream surface and distance was impressive. She broke slow and circled the field from last, closing for 2nd behind a slow pace and gate to wire winner. She should step forward with that race under her belt and will be the 2nd choice behind the Chad Brown favorite today. The Conductor is happy to play against favorites trying a new surface for the first time.
