Well, the Conductor’s coal supply is dwindling. The winter is in full swing and this is not the time to be draining resources. Let’s start the week off hot, and do so at Iron Bets for the most player friendly rewards in horse racing. Mohoning Valley also has player friendly 15% takeout on their pick 3/4/5’s. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 5000

#7 Team Hot Line (9/2) – This mare set a scorching pace in the slop last time going 1 mile. Now she gets back to a fast dirt track and cuts back in distance. She looks to get an ideal trip, and has many past performances that can beat this group. 3/1 or better is a square price.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Clm 15000

#6 Go Girl (8/1) – This mare made a nice middle move into a quick pace over a sloppy track last time. The Conductor likes to see improving early pace figures as a sign of returning to form. She drops to the lowest level of competition she’s faced to date and looks primed to run her best. The favorites look weak in this race.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. Clm 5000n3L

#7 Markhamian (4/1) – This horse has a major early pace edge over this group. He coughed up the lead in the slop last time, but he has done his best running on a fast dirt track. He gets back to fast dirt today and has past races that would obliterate this field. The Conductor will swing that that he takes them gate to wire at 3/1 or better.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. S.Alw 40900nc

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Henry Mac (6/1) – There is plenty of early speed in this race. The pace looks to set it up perfectly for this gelding. Henry Mac ran a strong closing 2nd cutting back in distance off the bench last time. Now 2nd off the layoff with more pace to run at, the Conductor sees him getting his picture taken. 4/1 or better would be a treat.

Race 7: 1 Mile. Clm 5000n1y

#3 Ubiquitous (4/1) – This gelding was favored dropping to this level for the first time last race. He ran 2nd closing into a slow pace in the mud, and now stretches out to a mile. He’s only had one try at this distance and it wasn’t good, but that was against much tougher. The Conductor doesn’t think the distance will be a problem. He has a class edge over this group and should be a square price.

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 24.3k

#1 Mr. Frederickson (6/1) – This colt debuted vs much tougher at Turfway and didn’t stack up. Now he ships into Mahoning Valley adds Lasix and gets the blinkers off. This trainer has a +ROI on the year and is tremendous with 2nd time starters. With 26 2nd timers this year, Israel Acevedo is winning at a 31% clip with a +$0.90 ROI.
