The Conductor felt good as they entered the stretch Saturday at Gulfstream, but his horses lacked the finish required. That’s because you passengers aren’t shoveling hard enough. Get your back into it and work harder. The train needs more coal. Skip.
Race 7: 1 Mile. F.Mdn 89k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Forseen (10/1) – This filly’s best race came over a sloppy track, which she’ll get again today. That race was bas back in October, where she ran a huge late pace figure. She’s working well off the bench and and now gets Lasix for the first time. She’s well bred and should step forward with natural development now as a 3-year-old. If she improves at all from that prior sloppy track effort, she’ll be tough to beat.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 25000n1x
#1 Knox (15/1) – This colt ran a good 2nd vs similar last at Gulfstream closing into a slow pace. That race was over a good surface and he runs her best when it’s wet. He won’t be good enough to win if one of the favorites fire their best shot, but he’ll run his race and certainly hit the board at a big number.
Race 10: 1 Mile. All-Weather MC 25000
#8 Silent and Violent (2/1) – With the race taken off the turf, this colt looks like a standout after a wide trip vs tougher last time. He won’t be an value on his own, but the Conductor has a bomb we can pair him with to make this exacta pay in the finale.
#10 Cryptonum (30/1) – This gelding ran a good 2nd sprinting over this surface after a terrible start last time. Now they stretch him back out in distance and he has early speed. Without much other pace in the race, he can clear from the outside and work out a favorable trip. He’s stepping up in class, but this is a weak field and he has upside. With a clean break Cryptonum will take a big step forward here.
