Back on the turf today after a forgetful Wednesday at Saratoga. The Conductor is ready to attack this card. Let’s Ride.
Race 4: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) New York Stallion Series Stakes
*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Six Fortyfive (8/1) – The Conductor really liked this gelding’s effort last time off a year layoff. It was his first time routing on turf and he ran well with a terrible trip. He chased the pace 3-wide and uncovered around both turns and still got up for 2nd, galloping out in front. Six Fortyfive should take a big step forward today and looks to get an ideal ground saving trip. He’ll be the key to the Conductor’s day.
Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 100k
#2 Abientot (9/2) – This filly ran much better than it looks in her debut, chasing the pace while 4-wide. She never quit and ran well to hang on for 4th. Now drawn to the inside, she’ll get a much better trip and has major upside. The shorter distance should help her chances as well.
Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Clm 30000n2L
#9 Surprenant Cocca (9/2) – You can completely ignore this filly’s last race. She had a trip from hell. She was wide and uncovered the entire way and moved early into a quick pace. In her race two back at Aqueduct, she ran well despite encountering trouble. Surprenant Cocca had to avoid a horse checking sharply in front of her and still made a nice wide move on the turn. Now taking a big class drop today at Saratoga, the Conductor thinks she’s the one to beat. Her form is much better than it looks on paper.
