Race 5: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) G1 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint

#1 Totally Boss (5/1) – This gelding is in great form, but the Conductor can’t see him getting any kind of trip from the rail. He got a brutal draw for a closer in a turf sprint.

*#2 Pure Sensation (5/1) – Any runner that can be on the lead turning for home must be used in here and he’s the most likely to do so. The Conductor gives him the best chance to win.

#3 Imprimis (8/1) – He’s disappointed since returning from Ascot in June. The Conductor is leaning against him.

#4 Shekky Shebaz (12/1) – He’s become a different animal in the Servis barn (shocker). The Conductor will absolutely be using him.

#5 Stubbins (12/1) – He’s steadily progressing and hasn’t run a bad race sprinting on the turf, but he’ll be too far back early for the Conductor’s liking.

#6 Stormy Liberal (8/1) – This old man’s best days are behind him. He’s not close to the same horse who won this race last year.

#7 Leinster (8/1)

The Conductor doesn’t like the runners from Woodford race he’s exiting.

#8 Legends of War (20/1) – He’s too slow.

#9 Final Frontier (6/1) – This colt’s last race came back very fast on paper. The Conductor must include him.

#10 Eddie Haskel (9/2) – The Conductor is torn on this gelding. Can he win? Yes. But the Conductor is leaning toss at the price he’ll likely be and his last two efforts.

*11 Om (15/1) – He’ll be the Conductor’s key in the exacta and trifecta. He’s a warrior and the Conductor liked his last victory over a solid runner in #1 Totally Boss. He gets back to his home track here, is working well and will be flying late.

#12 Belvoir Bay (12/1) – She gets a tough draw and is her best down the hill. She’s not as good on the flat.

Race 4: Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint

This is one of the biggest spread races on the card for the Conductor, chaos will likely ensue.

#1 Ruby Notion (20/1) – A winner of two in a row, her win two starts back was the fastest on soft turf in this field.  That’s the ground she’ll get on Saturday and this race is wide open.  The rail is an obvious concern, but at the price she’ll be she’s a must use.

#5 Disco Partner (7/2) – He hasn’t run his best on soft ground, but there was a little cut in the ground last time out at Belmont and he won like a good thing.  He’s the class of the field and the Conductor won’t let him knock him out.

#7 Lost Treasure (20/1) – He’s a young boy shipping over from Ireland. However, he’s battle tested, proven over a yielding turf course and gets Lasix for the first time.  The Conductor won’t let the O’brien/Moore combo beat him.

*Top Pick and Gullet Shot #8 Chanteline (15/1) – A winner of 3 of her last 4, this mare is in career form. Additionally, she ran a monster race over the soft turf behind Ruby Notion a few starts back.  She’s drawn a favorable post, working well and the Conductor is looking his chops.

#11 World of Trouble (6/1) – He’s run big figures on dirt, but he’s run even bigger on turf in his last two starts. His win at Belmont last start over good turf was jaw dropping. Moving forward, he could be unstoppable on his newfound preferred surface.
