Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.MC 40000

#9 Tabor Fleet (15/1) – The Conductor doesn’t like any of the runners with experience in here. Contessa never wins with 1st time starters, so why is Rosario taking the mount? Hmmm…smells like a bomb.

Race 3: 7 Furlongs. Clm 20000

#2 Indian Guide (7/2) – He closed into a slow pace for a good 2nd last start. He’ll get a better setup today.

#8 Slamin Sammy Brown (8/1) – She’s bred to for the lawn and we get top connections in a wide open race.

Race 7: Furlongs. Alw 82000n1x

#5 American Power (5/1) – This colt will love the cutback to a sprint.

Race 8: 1 Mile. OC 80000n1x

on May 9, 2019May 1, 2023 By The Conductor's Scribe

Exciting horse race start at Belmont Park with multiple jockeys and horses bursting from the starting gates.

Race 1: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

#5 Crimson Forest (6/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, she’s been running competitive figures for this level on dirt and has only tried the turf once in her career. She’s bred to handle the lawn just fine.

Race 2: 5 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 62k

#3 American Song (5/2) – Trainer Jeremiah Englehart has a positive ROI this year with 1^st time starters and this girl’s sire hits at 18% with debut runners.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Tiberius Mercurius (6/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, this colt ran a strong 2^nd last start, closing into a slow pace. He also gets a rider upgrade to Jose Ortiz.

Race 4: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 40000

#2 Thomond Park (6/1) – Just missing last time at Tampa, he’ll appreciate the shorter distance and the Conductor has seen a lot of Tampa shippers run very well lately.

Race 5: 7 Furlongs. S.OC 40000n2x

#5 Real Dan (4/1) – 2/2 in his 1^st two starts, he looks to get a perfect trip stalking a quick pace.

#7 Sicilia Mike (8/1) – He won’t win, but he’ll hit the board. The Conductor will key him underneath in the exacta and trifecta.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 12500

#6 Riot Worthy (9/2) – The Conductor will key her in the exacta because she loves to run 2^nd. She looks to get a dream trip, closing into a hot pace.

*Never a Doubt Tell Your Boss Your Taking Friday Off and Have Yourself a Long Weekend Lock of the Day #5 Rocketry (9/5) – He had no chance last start at Gulfstream trying to close into a ridiculously slow pace. 2^nd off the layoff, he’ll annihilate this Belmont field.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x

#4 Love and Love (20/1) – The Conductor will take a shot in a wide-open race. She’s run well both sprinting and routing, which the Conductor like to see.

A racehorse with jockey number 6 walking towards the starting area at a racetrack.

Officially one week out from the Derby. The Conductor is feeling tingly on the inside. Belmont Park time, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. S.Clm 25000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 O Shea Can U See (10/1) – Dropping back into state bred competition he closed for 3^rd into a slow pace last start. He’s 2/3 at Belmont.

Race 2: 1 /16 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.MC 40000

#6 Magnesite (3/1) – Going two sprints to a route and well bet in both starts, its tough to like anyone else. In here.

Race 3: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) OC 62500n2x

#4 Dowse’s Beach (3/1) – He does his best running in New York and loves to win.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 52k

#3 Lookbothways (6/1) – She lost all chance at the start last time out. She showed ability in her debut and will step forward today.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) Clm 40000n2L

#11 All Clear (20/1) – His races on the turf make him competitive in here, the Conductor doesn’t care about his terrible dirt form. He’ll key him in the trifecta.

#7 Hoboe (5/1) – He has very strong late pace figures and loves this turf course.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. Clm 12500

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) Mdn 80k

#4 Value Population (8/5) – He’s bred to be the goods.

Race 9: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) Elusive Quality Stakes

*Never a Doubt Free Round of Golf Lock of the Day #5 Therapist (3/1) – 1^st time gelding, he’s 3/3 at Belmont and has a strong late punch. He’ll solve all the Conductor’s problems.

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L

#3 Remstin (8/1) – Off a two year layoff, if he’s any semblance of his old self he’ll bat this group.

Sunday’s Turf Plays at Keeneland and Belmont Park

on October 7, 2018April 18, 2023 By The Conductor's Scribe

A lineup of thoroughbred racehorses at the starting gate at Keeneland, featuring jockeys in colorful silks ready for the race.

High quality racing at Keeneland and Belmont Park again today, so the Conductor will run it back. He likes a lot of mid-priced horses on the turf and if we can string a few together we’ll have our bookmakers sucking their thumb tonight. Let’s Ride.

Keeneland Late Pick 5

Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) IndinSmmrB200K

#2 Strike Silver (4/1) – His last speed figure on dirt is the highest in this bunch and his breeding suggests the grass will be no problem. He’s posting bullet works and looks like he’s sitting on a big one.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. F.Mdn 67k

In Charge Annie (6/1) – Heavily bet in her debut, she pressed a hot pace hung wide and still ran 3^rd. Her early pace figs were above par and speed was very advantageous on the Keeneland dirt yesterday. The Conductor can taste 6/1 on his toungue.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Bourbon-G3

#10 Current (6/1) – Very professional in his last start, this colt had some trouble and still won with ease. He’s bred to be good one and he should appreciate the added distance.

#13 Mick’s Star (10/1) – Two blowout victories in his first two starts, he’ll try the turf and route for the first time. He’s bred for these conditions and Tom Amoss doesn’t bring horses who aren’t ready to win to Keeneland.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. F.Spinster-G1

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Champagne Problems (8/1) – This filly is steadily improving and just missed by a nose to the likely 2^nd choice #11 Blue Prize in her last start. The Conductor was very impressed by both their efforts and there is no reason for such a disparity in odds. Champagne problems has every chance to win this race and the price is right.

Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 71000n2x

*Never a Doubt Car Payment Lock of the Day #3 Excellent Sunset (5/2) – Pressing a hot face and still kicking home strong to win easy, this lightly raced filly has shown versatility and talent in her young career. She’s flat out better than this group.

Belmont Grade 1 Double:

Race 7: F. G1 Frizette Stakes

*Never a Doubt Mortgage lock of the Day #6 Covfefe (8/5) – You don’t see blowout winners like her debut at Churchill Downs too often. She’s working well leading into today and the Conductor thinks she’s a full blow freak. She’ll win by 10.

Race 8: 1 1/4 Mile. (Inner Turf) F. G1 Flower Bowl Stakes

#1 Onthemoonagain (9/2) – The “other Chad” runner in this field hasn’t gotten a fair shot in her first two starts in America. She’s been trying to close into dismally slow paces and hasn’t had a chance. Her form in France makes her the class of this field and with a fair trip she’ll have a major shot.

Saturday’s Graded Stakes Plays at Keeneland and Belmont Park

on October 6, 2018April 18, 2023 By The Conductor's Scribe

A thrilling start of the Belmont Stakes horse race with multiple jockeys and horses at the starting gate.

The Conductor had to lick his wounds after a poor performance Thursday, but he’s been in the pony lab capping all day and night for this monster Saturday card. Graded stakes action all day across this great country and the Conductor has more than a few prices up his sleeve. Ponies with college football on a beautiful fall Saturday and the Conductor will pay our rent? Who has it better than us? Nobody. Let’s Ride.

Keeneland Pick 5:

Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) G2 Woodford S.

#4 Extravagant Kid (5/1) – He pressed an scorching pace at Saratoga last start and sill held on for victory. He’s primed to run his best in the third start off the layoff and even a repeat effort will give him every chance.

#8 Undrafted (10/1) – This Ol’ boy will be closing from the clouds. His last effort was solid, closing into a slow pace, and he’ll have much more pace to run at today. He loves the Keeneland turf and the Conductor will bet his presence will be known.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F. G2 Thoroughbred Club of America S.

#9 Chalon (4/1) – Her last start was very enticing as she sat just off a hot pace and scampered away in hand. Her early/turn pace figs are the best of the bunch and she draws well to the outside. 4/1 makes the Contuctor tingle with excitement.

*Bonus Gullet Slit #1 Rich Mommy (20/1) – This filly is an improving 4-year-old and has been making her living as a deep closer at Gulftream Park. Her running style will be much more favorable in Kentucky and the Conductor thinks she has a major chance to not only hit the board, but win if there is a hot pace in front of her.

Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) F. G1 First Lady S.

*Never a Doubt Car Payment Lock of the Day #4 Crown Walk (4/1) – She’s been facing much tougher turf horses across the pond and the Conductor doesn’t really like any of these American runners. She gets Lasix for the first time and Mike Smith comes to ride, which is a sign she’s more than live. New Car time.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. G1 Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity

#5 Dream Maker (5/1) – He was extremely green in the G1 Hopeful last time and had no idea what he was doing. His debut win two back was ultra-impressive, and her breeding suggests she’ll like the added distance. The clockers are raving about how he’s working leading up to today.

#14 Standard Deviation (10/1) – Heavily bet in is debut at Saratoga, this colt rated well and passed horses. He will appreciate the added distance and Chad will have him poised to run a big one.

Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) G1 Shadwell Turf Mile

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Synchrony (8/1) – The Conductor loves his last two efforts at Monmouth showing a thunderous kick even with moderate paces to run at. He’s a grade 2 winner, in career form and this should be his best distance. Keeneland better wear a neck brace in this race.

*Bonus Gullet Slit #1 Next Shares (15/1) – A monster bomb the Conductor like to hit the board, he came from the clouds in his last start against the slowest of paces. He’s Grade 1 Stakes placed and this race looks to have a lot of pace on paper. If the race falls apart like the Conductor envisions, he’ll be right there in the end.

Belmont Park Pick 4:

Race #7: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) Belmont Turf Sprint 150K

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Gidu (8/1) – Pressing the star Promisses Fullfilled on the dirt last time out in a Grade 1 Stakes, this colt has real speed and ability. He gets back to his preferred surface today, he’s won sprinting at Belmont before, and draws a nice outside post. If the Conductor gets anywhere over 4/1 it’ll be his favorite bet of the day.

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. G1 Beldame Stakes

*Never a Doubt Mortgage Lock of the Day #6 Wow Cat (5/2) – This Chilean star was no match for the Elate and Able Tasman duel at Saratoga last time, but there is nobody even close to that quality in this field. She’ll romp by 5.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) G2 Hill Prince Stakes

March to the Arch (4/1) – Closing from far back into a tepid pace last time, this gelding finished just as strong as the will be favorite #3 Raging Bull. With a cleaner trip, he’ll have every chance to turn the tables and will be a better price.

Race 10: 1 Mile. G1 Champagne S.

#4 Complexity (5/2) – Breaking slow from the rail in his debut, this colt’s victory was extremely impressive. The word on the street is he’s working like a monster and will be tough to beat.

*Bonus Gullet Slit: #6 Listing (15/1) – He was very professional in his debut showing he can rate and pass horses. While almost all others in this field haven’t done. The Conductor loves the California dirt shippers and trainer Ben Cecil is great stretching horses out to a route the first time. He’s hitting at a 20% clip with a +1.95 ROI this year.

Humpday Esophogus Stuffers: Wednesday’s Plays at Belmont Park

on September 26, 2018April 24, 2023 By The Conductor's Scribe

Horses racing at Belmont Park with jockeys in colorful silks during a race event.

The major tracks start back up as we get to hump day and the Conductor is ready to fire. Hopefully weather doesn’t ruin Wednesday’s card at Belmont, but either way he’ll be taking swings. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 1/16 Mile. F.S.OC 40000n2x

#1 Might Be (6/5) – This filly is a stand out in here. She will be able to clear from the rail and run them off their feet. She’s working well and won’t lose, but she’ll be a very short price.

Race 2: 1 Mile. (Off Turf) F.S.MC 40000

#2 Unparalleled (15/1) – The Conductor is predicting off the turf for these lower level races. In a field without any success on dirt, he likes the filly who will make the front. She will be on the lead and the Conductor will see if the others can take mud in the face and pass her.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. (Off Turf) F.Clm 35000n3L

#2 Esther the Queen (9/2) -This mare will make her first start of the year, but the Conductor isn’t bothered with these connections. The simple fact that Jose is aboard means she’s ready to run. She likes the off track and should be a square price.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 20000

#6 Brooklyn Gerty (6/5) – Heavily bet against tougher in her last start, she has the most talent in this field. With speed drawn to the inside, she should get a perfect stalking trip sitting just behind the leaders. This is a free square.

Race 5: 7 Furlongs. (Off Turf) Clm 35000n3L

#3 Mohican (5/1) – This gelding ran a career best effort in a race that came off the turf at Saratoga last time. He will get the same scenario again today and the Conductor will bet this is what he wants. If he runs the exact same race he’ll have a big shot let alone if he improves.

Race 6: 6½ Furlongs. Clm 32000

*Stone Cold Mortgage Lock of the Day #2 Forge (5/2) – Dropping in class, cutting back in distance and the fastest speed figures in this field, the Conductor is praying he gets 2/1 on this colt. He will back up the caboose right to the windows.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. (Off Turf) Clm 32000

#2 Take It To Scale (3/1) – The Conductor loves playing these claimers at Belmont taken from Chad Brown and Pletcher at Saratoga. They drop horses well below their level and this gelding is no exception. His speed figures fit at this level, he is working bullets and gets a red hot Jose Ortiz. The Conductor loves him.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. (Off Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Shanghai Dreams (6/1) – This filly ran them off their feet to break her maiden and ran a number that gives her a great shot against this bunch. She has every right to improve in her second start with Lasix and the Conductor is salivating at the 6/1 morning line.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. MC 20000

#9 Uncle Larry (2/1) – This gelding’s turf races have stunk, but he gets back to the Belmont dirt today. He drops in class and if he runs the race he did last on dirt at Gulfstream the Conductor can’t see anyone in this group stepping up to beat him. Easy Money
