A dynamic horse race featuring multiple jockeys in colorful silks riding thoroughbred horses on a dirt track.

Sunshine and a 14 race Travers Stakes day card can cure any broken soul. The problem is, if you leave the track broke it’s no fun regardless. Don’t worry passengers, the Conductor has got you covered. Aim small, miss small, but really never miss at all. Skip.

#2 Sierra Leone (7/2) – The Conductor has faded Sierra Leone while he has continued to settle for the minor awards this year. However, today has to be his day. The three other favorites all want to be forwardly placed, and the other Chad Brown entry, #3 Unmatched Wisdom (6/1), will ensure there is a hot pace for him to run at. Sierra Leone will get a perfect setup for his closing kick, and will be a better price than he’s been lately. While the passengers are hopping off his bandwagon, the Conductor is jumping on.

#4 Corporate Power (15/1) – The Conductor loves this colt’s steady progression and he looks like a horse that will relish the added distance today. He should be in an ideal position mid-pack behind the speed, and will sustain his run late. Shug has plenty of past success in the Travers and Corporate Power is a new face in a group of mediocre 3-year-olds. The Conductor will be all over a 2-4 exacta in the Travers, and thinks he has shot at pulling a big upset as well.
