Tumbarumba getting home at 8/1 saved the Conductor’s Pegasus weekend last Saturday at Gulfstream Park. We have another solid stakes filled card today, however Fierceness looks too tough to beat at 1/5 in the Holy Bull. There are opportunities for other prices in the other races, so we won’t complain. We need more coal to last the winter. Skip.

Race 5: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) OC 25000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 Listentothemusic (10/1) – This gelding has shown serious development early in his 4-year-old campaign. He dusted the field on the lead two starts back, then ran big taking on winners for the first time last race. He had a very difficult trip and never quit, making up ground in the stretch. Listentothemusic stretches out in distance to 7 1/2 furlongs today, and has the early speed to put himself in a great position early. He has talent and double digit odds would be delightful.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.G3 Sweetest Chant Stakes

#2 Madame Mischief (8/1) – Milliat (5/2) is clearly the filly to beat in the Conductor’s opinion. She ran an impressive 2nd with a poor trip in her American debut last time. However, the Conductor would be remised if he didn’t mention Madame Mischief. She exits that same race and will be 5 times the price. The Conductor touted her last time at 17/1 and he sacks of coal in his eyes as they turned into the stretch. She had a perfect ground saving trip and found a seem on the inside. However, she took a bad step mid stretch and lost momentum, then found her footing again when it was much too late.  After showing another strong gallop out, the Conductor believes she’ll like the added distance today, and has no choice but to give her one more chance.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. F.G3 Forward Gal Stakes

#2 Fiona’s Magic (8/1) – This race doesn’t have much early speed for a Gulfstream sprint, and this filly looks to get an ideal trip. She’s shown she can take early pressure and still finish down the stretch in her last two races. The 7-furlong distance should be ideal for her and she’ll have the jump on the favorites, who are nothing special. 5/1 or better will be fair for the Conductor.
