Week three of the Keeneland meet kicks off and the Conductor is ready to fire. Make sure you listen and subscribe to the daily podcast passengers. The Conductor discusses more horses than his best bets and there are some extra pieces of coal in there. Monday’s listeners who played the Santa Anita turf pick 3 were a happy bunch. Let’s Ride.
Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 20000n2L
#11 Valhalla Vixen (20/1) – This filly won impressively in her lone start sprinting on a fast dirt track. She ran a figure that is competitive with this group and her last two starts can be ignored. She’s run on the slop and turf and now finally returns to her best surface and distance. The Conductor will key Valhalla Vixen in the exacta at a nice juicy price.
Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Alw 110000n1x
*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 La Foret (15/1) – This filly didn’t run well on the dirt last time, but her two prior efforts sprinting on the turf were very solid. In her last turf race at Kentucky Downs, she was far back behind a slow pace and ran a huge late pace figure motoring down the stretch. She may not be able to get there in time to win today, but even if she picks up 2nd or 3rd the exacta and tri will pay nicely.
Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. MC 20000
#10 Rocket Night (6/1) – Dropping to this class level for the first time last race, this gelding ran a very good 2nd behind the favorite. He was in tight behind horses on the first turn and was forced to check sharply. He was still able to finish strong despite the rough beginning and showed the Conductor he has grit. Rocket Night should graduate today.
