Another goose egg at Santa Anita Friday. Time to stop messing around and rip some gullets out. The Conductor loves the card today. Skip.
Race 4: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 50000s
*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Ketonia (8/1) – This is an evenly matched group and the Conductor loves this filly in this spot. Ketonia is coming in off multiple poor trips and looks to get a perfect one today. She’ll have plenty of pace to run at and she gets a major turf rider upgrade to Berrios. Hector will save ground from this post and look to find a seem as they turn for home. The Conductor sees Ketonia mowing them all down in the stretch.
Race 5: 7 Furlongs. G2 San Vicente Stakes
#5 Bullard (4/5) – The 3.2 Million dollar Baffert runner, #2 Barnes, will vie for favoritism in this race. His debut was impressive, but he’ll have to take a massive step forward in this race to beat Bullard. Bullard looks to get an ideal outside stalking trip and the Conductor thinks he’ll deny Bobby B another graded stakes win.
Race 6: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 20000n1x
#4 Refocus (6/1) – This colt is a deep closer and always finishes with a big late stretch kick. He usually settles for minor awards, but this looks like the perfect pace scenario for him to get his picture taken. There will a scorching pace in this race, with a full field of speed balls. It looks like a classic meltdown race to the Conductor, and he’ll take a swing with the best closer. It’s going to be a fun Saturday on the lawn.
