A group of racehorses with jockeys in colorful uniforms competing on a racetrack during a horse racing event.

Clicquot got steamed down, but was a winner Thursday. We still aren’t connecting on the big prices. Mostly chalk came in, and that’s not the way the Conductor likes his Keeneland. Hopefully Friday is a bit more conducive to prices. Let’s Ride.

Race 8: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 140000b

#8 American Monarch (12/1) – This ridgling jogged around the track last time off a long layoff. That was a clear prep for this race and his workouts have improved since. His best turf races can beat this field and Mott wouldn’t ship him to Keeneland if he wasn’t live. Double digit odds is certainly a bet.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. F.G3 Baird Doubledogdare Stakess

#1 Just F Y I (7/2) – How about a Mott/Alvarado double? #6 Candied (8/5) ran big in the Distaff, but this is her first start of the year and she’s up against the pace scenario here. Just F Y I has a race under her belt in 2025 and can control the early pace vs this group. She’s a more likely winner in the Conductor’s opinion at double the price.
