0/3 in the slop Sunday Keeneland. Not the start we were looking for. However, the Conductor was pleasantly surprised the sun peaked out today and we have at least one race on the turf. If we can get through this week without any more significant rain, we’ll have full field turf racing. That’s all any man, woman or child can ask for. Let’s Ride.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) G3 Transylvania Stakes

#2 Reagan’s Wit (4/1) – There will be a decent pace in this race and the Conductor thinks it’s a good opportunity to toss the favorite #11 Mi Bago (3/1). The wide post, soft ground and added distance are all going against him. Reagan’s Wit has shown real talent in his young career and will be tough to beat with a nice inside draw. DeVaux looks to pick up right where she left off at Keeneland.

#7 Test Score (8/1) – This colt ran well at Gulfstream off the bench last time, showing a strong stretch kick against the frontrunner flow. He looks primed to run a peak effort today and should be a square price.

#8 Tom’s Magic (12/1) – He’s run three quality races in a row on the turf and is improving with each start. The Conductor expects him to be finishing well down the stretch.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. F. G1 Ashland Stakes

#8 Admit (15/1) – The Conductor has knocks against all the favorites in here and most of them will be pushing the pace. Admit has been running the best late pace figures of the bunch on the synthetic and now switches back to dirt for the first time since the fall. She’ll get a great setup in this race and the Conductor thinks she could spring a massive upset. Bomb’s away in today’s feature race.
