Another beautiful Wednesday at Saratoga with a fast track and the races off the turf…Looks like Friday and Saturday will be off the turf too. We need to take advantage when we can. Skip.
Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 100k
*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 And One More Time (6/1) – This filly was working bullets and bet to favoritism in her debut at Churchill this June. Too bad the bettors didn’t get the memo that it was a prep. She got a verrrrry patient ride by Jose that day and you could see she was still full of energy well after she crossed the wire. She’s bred to step forward on the turf and now Casse ships her to Saratoga to get her picture taken. The Conductor thinks we’ll see what And One More Time is really capable of Thursday. She’s ready to mow.
Race 10: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.OClm 35000
#6 Busy Morning (5/1) – The finale is a great betting race with many contenders. However, the Conductor has one trip note that stands out on this filly. Stretching out to a route in a NY Bred Allowance race last time, she was traveling nicely with a good trip covered 2-wide. She looked loaded behind horses entering the stretch and then…Irad never asks? Busy morning galloped out in front of the rest to boot. There was certainly more under the hood that day and maybe his brother will give her a more competitive ride here. Both of the Conductor’s Thursday plays are in the hands of Jose Ortiz.
