Week 1 is in the books at Keeneland and we don’t have any coal to show for it. Time to change that today. Let’s Ride.

Race 5: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 100k

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Runaway Kitten (15/1) – This filly moved into the John Ortiz barn last time and ran better than it looks sprinting with a poor trip. She was bumped and checked hard at the break and then ran evenly behind a slow pace. Now she stretches out to a route for the first time against a very weak group on paper. Santana will use her early speed to give her a good trip, and Conductor is salivating at her price. This filly is live.

Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. Mdn 100k

#7 Freaky (8/1) – This colt was working bullets entering his debut at Saratoga. He broke slow that day and the Conductor will ignore that effort. It was too bad to be believed and the Conductor think Freaky has talent. This is a weak field with a vulnerable favorite in #8 Kinetic Control (8/5). The Conductor is looking for a horse with upside.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 110000n1x

#10 El Rey Rey (30/1) – #1 Green Light (5/2) is clearly the horse to beat in this field. However, after him this race is wide open. El Rey Rey has run some solid races routing in California and got a nice prep sprinting for the new barn last time. Stretching back out in distance, the Conductor sees this colt running a career best effort in his 2nd start for Eric Foster.
