You passengers hammered the Conductor’s winner last Sunday. Very disappointing cards this week at Saratoga had the Conductor sitting on his hands. He’s ready to fire today on a very enticing Jim Dandy Card. Let’s Ride.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.G3 Lake George Stakes
#1 Reigning Flowers (15/1) – The Conductor thinks this race is wide open, and ripe for a price. The favorite, Classic Q (2/1), hasn’t won going further than a mile and will face more pace pressure today. Reigning Flowers kept good company last year and looks ready to fire a peak effort. Her two races this year have been rained off the turf, and over a yielding turf course. Third off the layoff and getting back to her best surface and distance, she fits with this group. Reigning Flowers has the best late pace figures in the field and will get a ground saving trip. Bombs away in the Lake George Stakes.
Race 10: 1 1/8 Mile. G2 Jim Dandy Stakes
#1 Baeza (3/1) – The Conductor is going to give Baeza on more shot against Sovereignty (2/5). Sovereignty trounced him in the Belmont, but the Conductor has no idea why Baeza was so far back in that race. He has much more early speed and needs to use it to his advantage. Now with a nice rail draw, a shorter distance, and Berrios aboard, the Conductor thinks this is his spot. Sovereignty is a monster, but this isn’t a race he needs to win, and it’s shorter than his best distance. Baeza will have first run on the lone speed, #4 Mo Plex (10/1), and the Conductor thinks he shows his true talent today.
