The rain came and off the turf made Saratoga unplayable yesterday. The forecast says its going to hold off today, so the Conductor capped as such. If the races come off, the Conductor won’t play with the small fields (He probably still will). At Del Mar, the Conductor’s 5/2 lock of the day was victorious, but his price horses are still haven’t finished. Now excuse the Conductor as he goes to play in a scramble. Fore! Let’s Ride.
