#3 Bourbon In May (5/1) – Unlike the prior race, there will be a contested early lead and a hot pace in this one. The Conductor will be using runners that can pass horses down the lane.

Race 7: 6½ Furlongs. OC 62500n2x

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) G2 Hill Prince Stakes
#9 Uncle Benny (10/1) – This colt returned to form last start and will be stretching out to this distance for the first time. He’s very talented, this isn’t the strongest group and Servis runners never have a problem going further.
*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Cross Border (20/1) – Winner of three in a row and stepping up to the Grade 1 ranks, this is not the strongest G1 field. He’ll be the biggest price on the board and the Conductor will key him in the exacta and tri.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.S.Mdn 62k

Race 3: 1 Mile. Clm 40000n2L

Race 6: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x
*Underneath Uppercut #9 Alvernia (20/1) – She improved mightily in her 1st time on grass last time. The winner of that race, O’Malley, just came back to win for the Conductor yesterday. She’s the Conductor’s key in the exacta and tri.
Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 100000b
#1 American Tattoo (6/1) – He’s had some time off and is working well since his dud last time. His win two back and Argentinian form show the Conductor he has talent and the ability to rebound.
