Keeneland delivered chalk and a 33/1 shot the Conductor didn’t have at Wednesday. That’s not what the the Conductor ordered. We need coal. Skip.
Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 140000b
*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Harlan Estate (15/1) – This gelding had no chance last time with a terrible trip at Kentucky downs. Two back at Saratoga, he ran a huge race at 21/1. He made a big 3/4wide uncovered move on the turn and sustained his finish for 2nd. Harlan Estate has won at big odds before and certainly fits with this group, With a rider upgrade and a good post today, he’ll be the key to the Conductor’s day.
Race 9: 6 Furlongs. OC 125000n2x
#1 Baxley (20/1) – #2 World Record (6/5) likely wins this race at a short price, but a 2/1 exacta will still pay. Baxley is steadily improving for a top barn and the Conductor likes his late pace figures in a race loaded with speed. Many of the other contenders in here are speed horses who will be chasing World Record and fading late. The Conductor sees Baxley hugging the Keeneland golden rail and passing his other rivals in the stretch.
