The Conductor is not sure what happened when the calendar turned. Santa Anita is not cooperating. Just keep grinding the tape until your eyes bleed Conductor, the tide will turn. Skip.
Race 7: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 50000n1x
#4 Triple Diamonds (5/2) – This gelding won’t be a big price, but the Conductor was impressed by his debut win. He was sandwiched at the start and still ran down the loose 3/5 favorite on the lead. The added furlong should only help his cause and he adds Lasix for the first time. For the Glatt barn, the Conductor will be very surprised if he isn’t victorious.
Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. F.G3 La Canada Stakes
#4 Musical Mischief (2/1) – She’ll be the 2nd or 3rd choice in this 6 horse field and the Conductor thinks she’s the most likely winner. She’s run faster than the Baffert favorite, #6 Cavalieri (8/5), who the Conductor is against with the added distance. Musical Mischief is a Grade 2 winner and now ships back home after setting a scorching pace in the slop. She’s working well and looks ready to fire for McCarthy.
Race 9: 6½ Furlongs. (Hillside Turf) F.G3 Las Cienegas Stakes
*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Nadette (10/1) – This mare shipped back to California off a break last time and ran better than it looks vs Grade 1 company. She was well back behind a slow pace and ran a huge late pace figure making up 4 lengths in the stretch. Now she cuts back down the hill and faces a much weaker group today. The Conductor trusts Hernandez to give her a good ride and she’ll be finishing best late. Nadette will be our savior on Sunday.
