Not the Saturday the Conductor envisioned. However, that just means we’ll crush today. Nothing sweeter than Sunday coal. Skip.
Race 6: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 25000
#9 Jetovator (15/1) – This gelding had no chance last time vs tougher. He was well back behind a slow pace in a sprint controlled by the front-runners. He drops to his lowest career level today and returns to the Santa Anita turf course where all 6 of his victories have taken place. Double digit odds on Jetovator makes the Conductor smile.
Race 8: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 20000n1x
#11 Rhino (8/1) – This gelding has run numbers competitive with this group going one mile on the turf. Now 2nd off the claim, he switches back to his preferred turf surface and tries sprinting for the first time. The Conductor likes that trainer Rafael DeLeon gave him a dirt sprint prior to get some early speed into him. The post and rider are a concern, but the Conductor thinks Rhino will be an overlay.
Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 80000n1x
*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Watchtower (6/1) – This filly ran very well last time in her first start in California. She was 3-wide while covered on the turn and finished strong for 2nd behind a gate to wire winner. Now 2nd off the bench, she looks primed to run a career best race vs an average group.
