Not a great start Friday for the Conductor at Keeneland. However, make sure you listen to the podcast where the Conductor discusses additional races and contenders. There were some golden nuggets in there yesterday. We have quite the Saturday of racing ahead of us today. Quality racing from coast to coast. God Bless America. Skip.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.G2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes

#7 Brightwork (2/1) – This filly was highly touted at Saratoga for the way she was working in the mornings. She didn’t disappoint in her return to the races there, finishing off a Phillip Bauer rocket in the stretch. Now making her 2nd start as a 3-year-old, the Conductor sees her dominating this field. She’s undefeated sprinting and a very talented filly.

Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.G1 First Lady Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Special Wan (20/1) – This is a great betting race, where you can make a case for many contenders. One thing is for certain, this race will have a wicked early pace. There are too many speed horses in here for one of the classy closers not to get the job done. The price the Conductor likes best is this European invader. She made her first start in the US last time and won nicely after a slow break, closing strongly behind a moderate pace. She’s yet to miss the board in her career and the Conductor doesn’t think the Chad Brown crop of Americans are anything special. Let’s get this bomb home in the First Lady.

Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) Turf Mile Stakes

#3 More Than Looks (3/1) – The Conductor was impressed with this colt’s comeback effort off the bench last time. He was rank early and fought the rider the entire way leading into the first turn. Despite expending all that wasted energy early, he sill rallied for 2nd behind a slow pace. Now making his 2nd start as a 4-year-old, he looks primed to run his best. With a nice inside draw, More Than Looks should get an ideal trip here.
