Two racehorses running on a grassy track with spectators in the background at a horse racing event.

A 15/1 2nd by a nose and a solid 3rd at 12/1 with a troubled trip Thursday for the Conductor. Hopefully some of you passengers cashed some verticals. Let’s get the noses down in front today and head into the weekend in style. Skip.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 120000n1x

#8 Rare Art (8/1) – This race is loaded with early speed and the Conductor thinks this is the best closer of the bunch. He was bet to favoritism last time vs similar competition off the bench, and his poor performance can be forgiven. He was very rank while wide entering the 1st turn and would not settle for Johnny V. Now 2nd off the layoff, he switches back to Dylan Davis, who will drop back and save ground. With a quick pace up front, the Conductor expects Rare Art to mow them down in the stretch.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) G1 Makers Mark Mile

#3 Trikari (8/1) – This colt was impressive last year, winning multiple graded stakes at different distances and over varying turf conditions. Most of the contenders in here want to be forwardly placed and Trikari looks to sit an ideal trip sitting right behind the speed. The layoff isn’t much of a concern at the price, and he has upside making his first start as a 3-year-old. The Conductor trusts Motion to have him ready for a Grade 1 at Keeneland.
