1/3 Thursday with a 5/1 winner at Saratoga. Solid, but the Conductor wants more. The caboose should be overflowing with coal. Let’s Ride.
Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. S.Mdn 90k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Joker On Fire (6/1) – Castellano was aboard a live 1st timer, Brown Eyed Cat, for Levine on opening day. Brown Eyed Cat missed the break and still circled the field to win. Joker on Fire reminds the Conductor a lot of that colt. He’s working well and has a bullet 5-furlong gate work leading into his debut. Levine has the strongest 1st time starter stats in this field and this colt is bred to win early. Hopefully we don’t have to sweat a poor break this time.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Alw 110000n1x
#5 Child of the Moon (4/1) – The Conductor is not impressed with this allowance field. This filly is making her US debut today for Chad Brown and makes the most sense. She’s run well vs stakes company in France will likely destroy this weak group. With a good post and Prat aboard, she’ll get a favorable trip as well.
#9 Epic Miss Justice (12/1) – There is one longshot that intrigues the Conductor in here. This filly broke her maiden nicely last year going this distance at Saratoga. She closed behind a slow pace and lit up the tote at 22/1. She came back off a year layoff last time sprinting at Aqueduct. That race was a clear prep for today, as Mott stretches her back out to her preferred distance. She has upside making just her 2nd start as a 4-year-old.
