Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile time, Skip.

Race 6: 1 Mile. G1 Big Ass Fans Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile

#1 Giant Expectations (12/1) – The Conductor doesn’t have many expectations for this boy. He doesn’t like to win but he can run 3rd.

#2 Improbable (3/1) – This his preferred distance and he’s a win contender. However, he will be over bet like he always is, so the Conductor is leaning against him.

#3 Spun to Run (6/1) – He ran a monster figure last time exiting the Pennsylvania Derby, which is one of the reasons the Conductor likes the others who participated. The Conductor doesn’t think he’s classy enough to win, but he’s dangerous.

*#4 Mr. Money (6/1)

If the Conductor gets anything close to this price, he’ll bet him. He’s exiting the PA Derby and the Conductor thinks he’s sitting on a monster race.

#5 Omaha Beach (8/5) – His return to the races was very impressive, but that may have been his best bullet. The Conductor isn’t as bullish on him as the public, but he is absolutely a contender.

#6 Ambassadorial (30/1) – Toss.

#7 Coal Front (6/1) – This ridgling won’t get the early lead which will really hurt his chances.

*#8 Blue Chipper (20/1) – He’s bomb that the Conductor likes. Shipping in from Korea, the Conductor likes the tape on this gelding and he’s working well on all accounts. He’s a runner that can knock the passengers out of the pools.

#9 Diamond Oops (15/1) – His race two back at Saratoga splitting Imperial Hint and Mitole shouldn’t be ignored. Winning is a tough ask, but the Conductor will use him in the exacta and tri at a big number.

#10 Snapper Sinclair (30/1) – No thanks.

Race 5: 1 Mile. Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile

The two favorites look tough to beat in here for the Conductor.  He’ll shorten up in this leg, but he has a mammoth price he likes underneath.

#1 City of Light (5/2) – He’s won sprinting and going 1 1/8 mile and his figures stand above all but one of these other runners.  His last race off a layoff in the Forego looks like a perfect setup race for this spot. He also has enough early speed to put himself in a good spot. The rail draw won’t be a problem.

*Underneath Uppercut to the Chin #2 Trigger Warning (20/1) – This colt ran 3rd behind Mckinzie in his last start, who will vie for favoritism in the BC Cllassic.  He is finally cutting back in distance, which he desperately needed, and he should get a hot pace to run at.  The Conductor will use him underneath to try and spice up the trifecta.

#6 Seeking the Soul (5/1) – A mile is his best distance and Churchill Downs is his favorite track.  He’s the only horse in the field that has a chance to upset the top 2.  He looks to be ready to run a peak effort in his third start off the layoff.

*Top Pick #10 Catalina Cruiser (8/5) – He’s yet to be tested in his young career and many are questioning John Sadler’s poor record outside of California. However, his figures stand over this group.  He is extremely talented and his win going two turns in the San Diego H. made the Conductor a believer.
