on By
Two racehorses with jockeys in colorful silks competing on a racetrack.

More pain and suffering for the Ductor Saturday. He couldn’t quite link up the chalk and longshots. Nobody feels sorry for him however. Wake up watch the Saratoga tape, scour the form and end the weekend in style. Skip.

Race 3: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 50000

#1 Tweaqued (6/1) – This filly showed ability last year at Saratoga winning on debut on the dirt for a low % barn. She returned off the layoff this meet on turf and ran a very good 2nd at 30/1. 2nd off the layoff today and returning to the surface she should be best on, the Ductor sees her taking a step forward and taking the money at a price.

Race 7: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) OC 80000n3x

#5 Soldier Rising (7/2), #1 Hard Love (8/1)

Race 8: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) G2 Bowling Green Stakes

#1 L’Imperator (6/1), #6 Rockemperor (3/1)

Race 9: 6½ Furlongs. G2 Amsterdam Stakes

#5 Accretive (7/2)

Race 10: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.MC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Sharp Sensation (6/1) – Most of the Contenders in here are exiting the same slow race on July 8th won by a 16/1 shot and the Ductor is looking for an alternative. This gelding ran well with a no chance trip against maidens last time and now ships back to New York and drops to the level where he’s already crossed the wire first. He has early speed in a race without much early pace an Saez hops aboard for a small barn he rode a 20/1 winner recently. The Ductor’s weekend will come down to the finale.

Sabbath Sunday: The Conductor’s Prayers at Saratoga

on By
Dynamic horse race featuring jockeys in colorful silks, showcasing speed and competition on a dirt track.

Saratoga: The only place on earth where you can get your face smashed in at the windows all day and still have a good time. The Conductor will be back….he just needs to pick up a few more jobs first. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. S.Mdn 78k

#5 Fifty Cents (8/1) – Saez takes the mount for a low volume Gulfstream trainer who has yet to have a starter at Saratoga. This colt’s sire wins at a 18% clip with 1st timers and the Conductor has a funny feeling that this boy is live.

Race 2: 7 Furlongs. Clm 14000n3L

#1 Stink Man (12/1) – He’s dropping in class 1st off the claim and gets a rider upgrade to Rosario. His win two back gives him every chance against this group.

Race 3: 5 1⁄2 Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 50000s

#4 Our Srormin Norman (8/1) – 2nd off a long lay-off, he ran a solid 2nd at Churchill last start. He’s bred to like the turf and has never tried sprinting on the lawn. The Conductor likes his upside.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. S.Alw 80000n1x7

#1 Kazmania (4/1) – 3rd off the layoff, he returns quickly from a start at Saratoga where he had a troubled trip. The Conductor sees him taking a step forward vs an average field and he gets a rider upgrade as well.

Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 30000n2L

#5 Clyde’s Runner (7/2) – The Conductor doesn’t have a strong opinion in here, but he’s logical.

Race 6: 1 1/8 Mile. Clm 40000

#7 Super Dude (6/1) – He was up against it last time, trying to close into a slow pace. He adds blinkers today, which should help his early position.

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Mdn 90k

#9 Aymara (8/1) – She’s stretching out and switches back to the turf, which she is bred to do. Her debut was better than it looked closing into a slow pace over a speed favoring Gulfstream turf course.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 78k

#4 Queenofeverything (6/1) – She ran poorly over a sloppy track last time, but her race two back on a fast dirt track gives her every chance. Trainer James Bond is red hot at toga.

Race 9: 51⁄2 Furlongs. (Turf) Alw 50000s

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Macho Blue (15/1) – Stepping up in class, this gelding has won 3 in a row and is very quick early. This group is not very strong for this level.Saratoga

Race 10: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.OC 25000n1x

*Never a Doubt Best Bet From God #3 Dyna Passer (4/1) – Dropping out of Grade 1 company, she ran well to split the field closing into a slow pace. That price would be more than enough for the Conductor.

Saratoga

Race 11: 6 1/2 Furlongs. G2 Amsterdam Stakes

#5 Honest Mischief (7/2) – He moved early in the Woody Stephens, a race that favored closers. This colt has loads of talent, his maiden breaker at Keeneland was freaky good.

Race 12: 5 1/12 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.MC 40000

#3 Traci’s Girl (8/1) – There’s 12 runners, throw a dart.
