0/2 with a scratch yesterday at Saratoga. It’s mandatory we make some coal today. The Conductor demands it. Let’s Ride.
Race 3: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 40000n2L
#6 Musical Maestro (4/1) – This gelding took a big step forward in his 1st turf start last time. He was fanned 4-wide the entire turn and a bump late in the stretch cost him 2nd. He was probably best in that race and he gets a more favorable post today. 4/1 would be a fair price on Musical Maestro.
Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Mdn 100k
#1 Yesterday (8/1) – The Conductor will try again with another George Weaver 1st time starter routing on the turf. Hopefully, she behaves herself pre-race, unlike the one Saturday. She has the best turf breeding in the field and should get a nice ground saving trip. Weaver is 15% with a +$1.71 ROI with 1st time turf starters this year.
Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.S.Alw 95000n1x
*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Roagna (6/1) – This filly is lightly raced and has the most upside in this wide open state-bred allowance field. She showed her talent winning on debut last year and has run better than it looks with poor trips in 2024. In her last race from post 10, she made a nice 5-wide move before rightfully flattening late. Now drawn to the inside for the first time in her career, she should get a favorable ground saving trip. The Conductor’s Sunday night supper will depend on Roagna.
