The Conductor's Scribe

The Conductor couldn’t find a winner if it kicked him in the teeth yesterday.  Oaklawn told him to shove it.  The Conductor won’t let Oaklawn get away with this and he is out for blood today.  Let’s head into the weekend in style. Let’s Ride.

Throat Shot Thursday: The Conductor’s Plays at Oaklawn Park

The Conductor's Scribe

A 5/1 winner to start the card at Gulfstream yesterday.  The Conductor kept swinging, but Gulfstream was very elusive after that.  The Conductor has had enough of Gulfstream and likes the Oaklawn card today.  A quick trip down to Arkansas never hurt anybody.  Oaklawn doesn’t have the Stamina to go 12 rounds with the Conductor.  Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L

#4 E Rated (6/1) – Shipping in off a long layoff, this boy has serious early speed and his lightly raced.  Send him right to the front and bury them.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 6250

#6 Painterone (9/2) – This filly was very game in her return to the races last start. 2nd off the layoff the Conductor sees her running even better.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.OClm 50000

#1 Mucha Mezquina (9/2) – This filly set a blistering pace last start vs tougher and still ran 3rd.  That price is tasty

Bat Cave (College Basketball)

And On The Third Day The Bat Rose Again and Fulfilled Our Pockets

The Conductor's Scribe

Well, Well, Well… Look who comes flying back to the Conductor.  Under Bat has taken the college basketball landscape by storm with his dominance the last two months.  However, we’ve rarely heard from him recently.  He’s been on a bender the last few weeks basking in his glory, forgetting what got him here and where he came from.  The Bat would be hanging upside down alone in his cave if it wasn’t for the Conductor.  He owes his great little Bat life to him, the least he could do was provide 3 picks a day. Right? Regardless, The Conductor is happy for the free money tonight. Fly Bat! Fly! #RidetheBat

Race 1: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 20000

Race 9: 6½ Furlongs. F.OC 25000n1x

Trachea Kick Tuesday: The Conductor’s Plays at the Fair Grounds

The Conductor's Scribe

A 7/2 winner and a couple of decent prices running 2nd wasn’t terrible, but not a great Monday for the Conductor.  The train will tack on plenty of miles this week with Fairgrounds running on Tuesday.  Somebody has to pay for coal, the train doesn’t fuel itself.  Let’s give the Fairgrounds a boot right to the teeth, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 7 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 30000

#3 Simple Pleasure (5/1) – Going two sprints to a route, she’ll try the grass for the first time for top connections.  She has upside, while the rest are proven losers.

*Never a Doubt Jet Blue #4 Flashy Brew (5/2) – The switch to turf should not be an issue, she’s been dominant in her last two races. The Conductor needs to buy a plane ticket today.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Hawaakom (8/1) – Dropping to this level last time out, he ran a good 4th closing into a tepid pace.  He should run his best in his 3rd start off a layoff today and has the back class to get the job done.  The Conductor will key him in the exacta.
