The Conductor’s Saratoga week is getting started a day late. That means we need to collect double the coal. Grab a shovel. Skip.
Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. OC 80000b
#1 Olympic Dreams (8/1) – There isn’t any speed in this race and Olympic Dreams gets brave when he has the lead in the stretch. He’s 5/10 in his career over a fast dirt track and 4/8 at the distance. His numbers fit with this group and trainer Patrick Quick is 18% with +$4.55 ROI with runners off 90+ day breaks this year. The Conductor sees him setting a slow pace along the rail today and fighting tooth and nail to steal this race gate to wire.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.Mdn 90k P
*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 New York Scrappy (9/2) – This gelding showed he has talent in his debut sprinting on the turf. He was bumped hard at the break and still rallied for 3rd from back of the pack. He was then bet to favoritism last time on dirt and faded after battling up front in a wicked pace duel. He switches back to the surface he’s bred for today and will try routing for the first time. This looks like the perfect scenario for New York Scrappy to run his best.
