The Conductor’s gullet shot ran a good 3rd Thursday at 34/1. Hopefully, some of you passengers were able to cash that trifecta. Let’s turn some of those thirds into winners as we head into the weekend. Let’s Ride.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. Clm 25000

#1 Lunar Module (4/1) – This gelding’s last two races on the turf and slop can be ignored. His prior two efforts on a fast dirt track were solid 2nds vs much tougher competition. Now dropping to a career low class level, the Conductor sees him getting his picture taken after this race.

Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 110000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Pensacola (12/1) – This gelding ran formidable numbers on dirt last year. He’s run poorly in his two starts in 2024 and now switches to turf off a bit of a break. He’s bred for the turf and had no shot in his previous try on the lawn. Trainer William Cowans is 4/12 with a +$1.60 ROI switching horses from dirt to turf this year. The Conductor sees the surface switch waking up Pensacola, and the gelding firing a top effort today. His A race makes him a contender vs this group.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. F.MC 50000

#3 Effervescent (8/1) – This filly was impressive in her debut last time. She broke slow, made a wicked early move and sustained her run for 3rd. She should have won that race and will be even better after gaining race experience. Making her 2nd career start today, Effervescent is the one to beat.
