Another frustrating Wednesday at the track. We’re close, but Saratoga keeps slipping out of the Conductor’s grasp. Three turf plays today. Skip.

Race 3: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Alw 110000n1x

#5 Justdeny (8/1) – This filly broke her maiden impressively last time at this distance. She was 4-wide uncovered on the 1st turn, then 2-wide and covered on the 2nd and 3rd turns. She won easily and galloped out full of energy. In a race with mediocre favorites today, the Conductor thinks Justdeny can step up in class and win.

Race 9: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.G3 Caress Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Danse Macabre (10/1) – This filly has yet to run a bad race in her career. She has hit the board in every start and should get a good trip today with a hot pace in front of her. Her races last year fit with this group and her bullet works at Turfway suggest she’s ready to roll off the bench. Danse Macabre is a major underlay at double digit odds.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.MC 40000

#1 Tiz a Prince (15/1) – The Conductor will give Romero Maragh another try after a poor ride yesterday in the finale. This colt ran better than it looks last time with a bad trip. He was bumped hard at start, 3-wide covered on the 1st turn and forced 4-wide on the 2nd turn. Now dropping in class 3rd off the layoff for trainer David Duggan, he should get a favorable ground saving trip from the inside post. Tiz a Prince is live in this wide open race.
