After a solid Sunday at Saratoga, the Conductor is itching for closing week. Only a few days left to make Toga pay for all of its sins. Let’s Ride.
Race 3: 1 Mile. S.Mdn 90k
#8 Concorde Spirit (9/2) – This colt ran solid last time, closing behind a slow pace going 6 furlongs. He doesn’t have the early speed to be competitive sprinting, but looks like a horse that will take a big step forward with added distance. Now with two sprints under his belt. the Conductor sees Concorde Spirit running his best going 1 mile for the first time today.
Race 4: 6 Furlongs. Clm 32000
#10 Kingdom (8/1) – This gelding is the quickest early and is taking a big class drop here. A drop like this would usually give the Conductor pause, but not for Jacobson at Saratoga. This is the type of move where he picks up wins at the Spa. Jacobson’s top rider Vazquez hops aboard as well.
Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.P. G Johnson Stakes
*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Lemonpeppasteppa (12/1) – The Conductor thinks this filly has the ability to pull off the upset today. He’s been impressed with both of her starts sprinting on the turf. In both races, she’s been forced to check and still has re-rallied after losing momentum. Now she stretches out to a route for the first time, and this is trainer Jorge Delgado’s strength. With 30 1st time routers this year, he’s winning at a 27% clip with a +$0.35 ROI. Lemonpeppasteppa will be the key to the Conductor’s day.
