An easy 4/5 winner Friday at Gulfstream, but the two prices never threatened. A big day is coming, the Conductor can feel it in his plumbs. Let’s Ride.

Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 50000b

#4 Read On (6/1) – This colt ran the fastest last race in the field and will still likely be ignored by the public. That’s because that race was vs weaker over synthetic. However, his past turf form fits with this group and he has a tactical advantage here. There is absolutely no early speed in this field. Read On broke his maiden going gate to wire at this distance over this Gulfstream turf course and he can do it again today. He’ll be setting slow fractions on the lead and can steal it on the front end.

Race 9: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.OC 25000n1x

#2 Queen Karima (7/2) – This filly showed real talent starting her career sprinting this -furlong distance at Gulfstream. She went off form after shipping up to Monmouth, but she’s had a 6-month break since. She’s working well for a barn that can win off the layoff and has an early pace edge over this field. Her speed is extra dangerous going this short.

Race 12: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OClm 35000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 No Vella (20/1) – Can we go 3/3 with frontrunners Saturday at Gulfstream? The Conductor will be betting we can. This mare’s past turf figures certainly fit with this group, and she’s 5/13 at the distance. The layoff is obviously a concern, but we’ll be more than compensated with her price. They will be forced to use her early speed from the rail and she looks to get an ideal trip. She’ll be loping along setting slow fractions and the other jockeys will discount her and wait too long. That will be their demise and the Conductor’s coal haul.
