Frustrating Saturday for the Conductor at Keeneland. Coal supply is dwindling. We don’t want a big day, we need one. Skip.
Race 3: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 100k
#2 One Happy Island (20/1) – This filly ran well in her turf debut sprinting last time with a poor trip. She was forced to check and still finished strong behind a slow pace. Now with a nice inside draw, she has major upside stretching out to a route for the first time. This race is wide open and One Happy Island is bred to improve going long on the lawn. She can light up the tote.
Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 130000b
*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Hedwig (8/1) – This gelding had obvious trouble last time, unable to find room to run in the stretch. He was well bet in that G1 and is the only horse in this field that has proven he can sit off the pace and finish. This race is loaded with early pace and Hedwig should sit a perfect stalking trip. As long as Saez can find him a seam this time, he’s going to save the Conductor’s weekend.
Race 9: 1 1/8 Mile. F.G1 Juddmonte Spinster Stakes
#1 Idiomatic (3/5) – Unfortunately, nothing creative for the Conductor here. This mare lost at short price last time, but that was still one of her best races to date. She pressed a scorching pace and was just nailed at the wire. There isn’t much speed in this race and the Conductor can’t envision a scenario where she loses. Take the free square.
