We had a 14/1 photo 2nd, a 6/1 gullet shot winner by open lengths, and a 6/5 winner Wednesday at Gulfstream. That’s good clean Conductor capping to start the week. He doesn’t like the card as much Thursday, but he’s found two races where he can fade the favorites. Let’s keep pounding. Skip.
Race 2: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 25000
#3 Kitten’s War (8/1) – The Conductor doesn’t like the runners with experience in this maiden claimer. He’ll wager one of the first time starters pops at a price. This filly is bred for the turf, working well, and this is George Weaver’s specialty. He’s 15% with a +$1.47 ROI with 79 1st time turf starters this year.
*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Charmeine (15/1) – There is plenty to like with this bomb as well. With only a 15k purchase price, she’s bred for the lawn and a debut at this level makes sense. Trainer Daniel Damen has a small barn with only 13 starters this year. He’s 0/3 with first time turf starters, but 2/3 have hit the board at big prices. With Castellano taking the mount for this small outfit, the Conductor can smell that Charmeine is live.
Race 7: 5 Furlongs. (All-Weather) F.S.OC 20000n1x
#1 Avatal Hero (5/1) – This filly loves sprinting over this Gulfstream synthetic course. She has improved in her last 3 races since returning to this surface, including a nice win last time. She went from last to 1st to win easy in an otherwise merry go round race. She’s stepping up in class today, but is in good form and this is a weak group for this level.
#3 Lovin Makes Cents (7/2) – This mare took a step forward 1st off the claim last time. She broke slow and put in a big run for 2nd behind a gate to wire winner. She has run two 2nds and a 3rd in her last three tries at this level and that was for a 4% barn. In a much better hands now, there is room for improvement in her second start off the claim.
