Brightwork made it a positive Saturday for the Conductor, but Saratoga’s gullet still proves to be elusive. Let’s get some prices home today. Skip.

Race 10: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.OC 45000n2x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Big Prankster (12/1) – This colt runs his race every time and is improving on dirt. In his last turf race back in May, he ran better than it looks closing into a slow pace and against the flow. He finally gets back to the turf today and is bred to do his best running on the lawn. Double digit odds is tasty for the Conductor.

Saratoga Picks today

Race 12: 1 1/14 Mile. G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup

#3 Bright Future (10/1) – This gelding won this race last year. The Conductor liked him last time in the Whitney and he didn’t pick his feet up in the slop. His prior win on a fast dirt track was impressive off the layoff, and the Conductor is choosing to ignore last time. Getting back to his best distance and surface today, the Conductor thinks Bright Future is live.

Race 13: 7 Furlongs. S.MC 30000

#12 Wild Nugget (8/1) – This is a very slow field of NY bred maiden claimers and this race looks ripe for a first time starter. This gelding has been working at Penn for small barn who has them ready to role 1st time out. Trainer Dimitrios Synnefias is 6/15 with a +$4.86 ROI this year with 1st timers. The Conductor can smell this colt running off the screen in the finale.
