Two for three with a 6/1 gullet shot winner Thursday is just what the Ductor ordered. Time to build momentum. Skip.

Race 5: 1 3/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 110000n1x

#4 The Ginger Wizard (6/1) – This weak field of American fillies looks ripe for a foreign invader. This mare has been steadily progressing across the pond and is a true turf marathoner. She has the upside to beat this group handily.

Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 140000n4x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Judge Davis (10/1) – This gelding looks almost identical to yesterday’s gullet shot winner. The Conductor is hoping the rail draw produces the same result. He just missed last time at Kentucky Downs closing into a slow pace and looks to get a better setup today. He has a win over this Keeneland turf course and two of his three wins have come at this distance. Let’s make it back to back gullet whacks.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.G2 Valley View Stakes

#1 Opera Mundi (8/1) – Call the Conductor Benedict Arnold, but he’s turning to another European shipper here. #12 Simply in Front (8/1) really impressed him last time, but looks to get a poor trip today drawn to the far outside. Opera Mundi is exiting sprint races in France and has the early speed to put herself in a good position early. The Conductor thinks this is an evenly matched group and sees her sitting a dream pocket trip. In turf racing, that makes all the difference. Skip.
