Two duds Friday at Saratoga for the Conductor. No excuses, just get back in the drivers seat an make Saratoga pay today. Skip.

Race 9: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F. G3 Caress Stakes

#8 Time to Dazzle (8/1) – This filly has sneakily improved sprinting on the turf this year. Last time she ran much just as well as the runners that beat her, despite finishing 4th. She was well back behind a slow pace and was wide the entire way. The Conductor was impressed with how she finished that race and thinks she can turn the tables on the favorites in here with a better trip. Time to Dazzle draws an outside post today, but will get a more favorable pace setup with a better turf pilot aboard.

Race 12: 7 Furlongs. Alw 110000n1x

#3 Vekoma Rides (10/1) – This colt showed real talent in his debut last year. He ran a good 3rd last time off the bench and should take a big step forward today. He adds blinkers and looks to get an ideal inside pocket trip over this Saratoga dirt course. Making his 2nd start as a 3-year-old, Vekoma Rides has major upside.

Bonus: Monmouth Race 13: 1 1/8 Mile. Haskell G1 NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes

#8 Goal Oriented (4/1) – This colt disappointed in the Preakness, but that was a tough ask off just two weeks rest in only his third career start. Baffert has handled this horse like he’s the goods and he looked like it in his first two starts. He’s been working his eyeballs out since the Preakness and should get a perfect trip today with Prat aboard. He’ll sit just behind a contested pace and get first run on the closers. He’s the only horse in the field the Conductor sees upsetting the overwhelming favorite #2 Journalism (4/5).
