Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) OClm 50000

#8 Belmont Bill (15/1) – This horse loves to settle for the minor awards, but the Conductor thinks he will hit the board at a big price. Stretching out to a mile after a sprint last time, he’s the lone speed in the race. In his last race going this distance at Santa Anita, he set a quick pace and hung on for 2nd at 7/1. While the favorites may run him down late, Belmont Bill can still inject value into the exacta and trifecta here.

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Swingtime Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Royal Charter (6/1) – This filly ran admirably last time stretching out in distance vs a very salty stakes field. She set a quick pace that day and didn’t throw in the towel. Now she cuts back to her best distance and faces a much less accomplished group. She’s versatile and looks to get a favorable ground saving trip as well. Royal Charter is the Conductor’s best bet of the day if she is anywhere near this morning line.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) S.OC 20000n1x

#5 Brazenly (10/1) – This gelding is in great form on the dirt. He won by open lengths at this level two starts back at Del Mar. While he is 0/3 on the turf, his breeding says that he should be able to mow just fine. At double digit odds vs a average group, the Conductor thinks he is worth a bet.
