They canceled racing on us at Mahoning Valley Tuesday. Many people were saying that they were scared of the Conductor scooping their pools. Rightfully so, but their tactics didn’t work. The train stays in OH until every last spec of coal is mined. Let’s Ride at Iron Bets. Skip.
Race 3: 5½ Furlongs. F.S.Clm 5000
#1 Bay Magic (20/1) – This is a very weak group of state-bred claimers and this mare has upside at a big price. She enters this race off a lengthy layoff, but is working well for a new barn. Trainer Marco Ibarra is 22% with a +2.53 ROI this year with runners off 90+ day breaks, and is 31% 1st off the claim. This mare looks ready to fire her best shot and that makes her competitive in here. The Conductor sees her outrunning her odds.
Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. Clm 4000n1y
#10 Quantum Theory (8/5) – This gelding won’t be a big price, but the Conductor thinks he’s a favorite you can rely on in the horizontal wagers. He lays over this field and looks to get an ideal outside stalking trip.
Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. F.Clm 15000
#3 Tiz Independence (8/1) – The Conductor doesn’t usually like horses cutting back from a mile all the way to 5 1/2 furlongs, but he’ll make an exception for this mare. She ran well vs tougher last time and was up close to a very quick pace for the distance. She’ll be finishing best in this race, the Conductor is just hoping that she won’t be too far back early. If she’s within striking distance as they turn for home, Tiz Wonderful is very dangerous today.
