The lock ran 3^rd yesterday, but 7/2 and 10/1 winners made it a solid start to the week for the Conductor.  Always beware of the ultimate equipment change. The Conductor may have to play Fair Grounds more often.  The train now heads up to Philly today for our regularly scheduled Tuesday programming, let’s get this baby into 2^nd gear.  Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 5 ½ Furlongs. F.MC 10000

SCRATCHED *Never a Doubt Whiskey For the Week Lock of the Day #10 Square the Circle (9/5) – If they don’t win on debut, they win in their 2^nd start for Pennington/Servis.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 25000n3L
