A subway officer stands in the rain at a train station, wearing a dark uniform and cap, with blurred trains in the background.

The rain came Wednesday at Saratoga and the races were taken off the turf. The Conductor thought there was no way they’d be off the turf again today, but NYRA continues to disappoint him. Only the Grade 2 Glen Falls Stakes is on the lawn today. The Conductor will make due. Skip.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. S.OC 45000n2x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Pompous Price (15/1) – This gelding has improved with each start in the Anthony Ferraro barn. His win streak was snapped last time by one of the favorites in here, #4 Jak N Burny (3/1). However, that was going 5 1/2 furlongs and Pompous Prince made up significant ground in the stretch. Jak N Burny will face much more pace pressure today and Conductor is expecting him and #8 Caldo Candy (3/1) to duke it out early. Pompous Prince will be flying late and the added half furlong today will help his cause. Pompous Prince can light up the tote in the 4th.

Saratoga Picks today

Race 9: 1½ Mile. (Inner Turf) F.G2 Glens Falls Stakes

#5 Eternal Hope (3/1) – This is one of three fillies in here that will take money. The Conductor trusts Prat and Appleby more than the others. She’s proven at the distance, proven over soft ground, and is versatile enough to work out a favorable trip. Nothing too creative here.
