We couldn’t get the prices home Saturday, but the Conductor is finally back in the writing groove. He’ll be generously posting Thursday – Sunday from now until kingdom come. We’ll be down at Gulfstream until spring has sprung and turf racing returns to New York. A lot of coal to be shoveled until then. Let’s Ride.
Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (All-Weather) F.Clm 8000n3L
*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 Its a Birdie (6/1) – This filly was best in the race two back at this level against many of the same contenders, even though she finished 5th. She was only beaten 2 1/2 lengths that day despite being forced 6-wide while she made her move on the turn. They tried sprinting on dirt with her last time, but she was pulled up early after a rough start. The Conductor is completely ignoring that effort. If she can run back to her last race on synthetic with a better trip, she can upset this weak field. The Conductor sees her price being north of 6/1 as well.
Race 7: 5 Furlongs. (All-Weather) F.Clm 16000n3L
#6 Cajun Fantasy (6/1) – This filly ran just fine off the layoff for an unknown trainer last time. Now she drops in class, shortens to 5-furlongs and gets a weight break vs a weak field. She has the early speed to work out a favorable trip and her speed figures on the all-weather fit right in with this group. If she improves at all off that last start, she can win.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) OClm 35000
#3 Smithwick’s Spice (5/1) – This gelding ran a solid 4th last time at Gulfstream with a poor turf trip. He was chasing a quick pace 3-wide and uncovered most of the way and still never quit. The added distance will help him today as well as an inside draw. With an easier journey he can turn the tables on the favorite, Tatanka (2/1).
