Baeza and Reigning Flowers ran big Saturday, just not quite good enough to get their picture taken. The Conductor has 2nd and 3rd itus this meet. Off the turf today is disappointing, but at least the Glenn Falls stayed in tact. Let’s end the weekend strong. Skip.
Race 6: 7 Furlongs. S.Mdn 90k
#7 Mission Hill (15/1) – This gelding had a no chance trip on turf last time, hung wide chasing a quick pace. His best race last year came over the Saratoga dirt and he finally gets back to it today. The Conductor thinks he’ll like the cutback in distance, and his last race off a year layoff sets him up nicely. Mission Hill is the longshot the passengers need today.
Race 7: 1½ Mile. (Inner Turf) F.G2 Glens Falls Stakes
#5 Long Ago (4/1) – This mare ran well last time, moving early into a quick pace and fighting to the wire. There is absolutely no early speed in this weak Grade 2 field, and she’ll be able to control the tempo on the front end. The Conductor sees her stealing the feature on the front end.
