The Conductor’s Haskell Day Plays at Monmouth Park

on By
Jockey riding a brown thoroughbred horse during a training session on a racetrack.

The heat has canceled racing at Saratoga and the Conductor should probably never play there again anyway. What a loser. Haskell day at Monmouth is always a great racing day anyway. Will Maximum Security strut his stuff? The Conductor sees him getting taken down again. Let’s drink some ice cold stew and make some money. Let’s Ride.

The Conductor still has no feel for Saratoga, but he still has some money to play with today! With the extreme heat forecast for this weekend and Saturday racing canceled, it is imperative for the Conductor to score today. Now that we got away with chasing, time to press! Let’s Ride.

 

Race 1: 7 Furlongs. S.MC 25000

#7 Therisastormbrewin (8/1) – Dropping in class, 1st time gelding and adding blinkers, the ultimate equipment change is always dangerous.

Race 2: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 25000

#5 Queen Kahen (6/1) – She’s working well 2nd off the claim for Linda Rice. Linda is 22% with a +$0.17 ROI switching horses from turf to dirt this year.

Race 3: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Mdn 78k

#1 Dearly Declared (4/1) – 2nd off the layoff, she’s shown some very quick early pace figures and will appreciate the shorter distance. With the poor rail draw the Conductor sees her price floating up.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. Clm 20000

#5 Getoffmyback (5/1) – 2nd off the layoff and shipping in from Churchill, he looks to get a perfect trip on or near a slow pace.

Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 50000s

#2 Willing to Speed (6/1) – He’s the best turf horse of the bunch in the Conductor’s eyes. However, he does have a case of 2nditus. The Conductor thinks the switch to Irad will get him over the hump.

Race 7: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) OC 62500n2x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Midnight Tea Time (10/1) – 2nd off the layoff, his last two races have been rained off the turf. He gets back to his preferred surface today and is a very consistent runner. The Conductor will key him in the exacta and trifecta.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. OC 80000n3x

#4 Honorable Treasure (12/1) – 2nd off the layoff, he won nicely last start in his return to the races. His figures fit, and he looks to get a nice setup with a hot pace to run at today.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.G3 Lake George Stakes

#7 Blowout (2/1) – A  4 horse Saratoga field with 3 Chad Brown runners? What a joke of a betting race.

Race 10: 1 1/8 Mile. MC 40000

*Never a Doubt Friday Stew Best Bet of the Day #1 Goose Drank Wine (8/1) – Working well 3rd off the layoff, he has the best late pace figures in the field. The added distance will suit him nicely.

Throat Shot Thursday: The Conductor’s Plays at Saratoga

on By
Horses and jockeys at the starting gate of a race at Saratoga Race Course.

The rain came and off the turf made Saratoga unplayable yesterday. The forecast says its going to hold off today, so the Conductor capped as such. If the races come off, the Conductor won’t play with the small fields (He probably still will). At Del Mar, the Conductor’s 5/2 lock of the day was victorious, but his price horses are still haven’t finished.  Now excuse the Conductor as he goes to play in a scramble. Fore! Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 7 Furlongs. Alw 60000n1x

#6 After You (7/2) – The California sprinters are always dangerous coming to the east coast.

Race 2: 5½ Furlongs. Mdn 75k

#6 Justintimeforwine (5/1) – Making his 2nd career start, he was well bet in his debut and had some trouble early. Rosario isn’t jumping off, so neither will the Conductor.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.S. 100K Stillwater Stakes

#3 Fierce Lady (1/2) – Her debut was dominant.

Race 4: 1 3/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) OC 25000n1x

Race 5: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.Mdn 78k

#4 Barleewon (5/2) – Rosario hops aboard for a 20% debut turf winning trainer. The Conductor also likes this colt’s work tab.

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) OC 80000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Shootin the Breeze (8/1) – He keeps getting slow paces to close into, he looks to get a fair setup today and will appreciate the added distance.

Race 9: 1 1/8 Mile. OC 62500n2x

Race 10: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.OC 40000n2x

#3 High Jingo (4/1) – Shortening back to 5 ½ furlongs 3rd off the the layoff, her early pace figures are lightening.

Solid Sunday for the Conductor as his lock and gullet shot of the day found themselves in the winner’s circle. We made a little money back from a poor opening week at Saratoga and now we must keep up the momentum. With Del Mar opening on Wednesday, the Conductor will have his full card top picks for both Saratoga and Del Mar thru the rest of the meets. His generosity knows no bounds. The racing summer is upon us, Let’s Ride.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. S. Rick Violette Stakes 100k

#3 Mission Wrapitup (7/5) – His debut blowout win was very impressive.

Race 3: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) OC 62500n2x

Race 4: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) Clm 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Hope Again (9/2) – 3rd off the layoff, he’s steadily progressing and won easily last start. Those are the types of runners the Conductor likes stepping up in class.

#2 Avacado Toast (6/1) – She’s lightly raced and trending in the right direction. She also gets a small weight break.

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

#7 Embellisher (5/1) – The two Chad Brown runners (6,9) are the ones to beat, but the Conductor will key this boy in the exacta. In his first start on turf last time, he set a hot pace and held on for a good 3rd. He gets a rider switch to Leparoux, who is very adept at rating speed horses on the front end.

Race 8: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 100000

*Never a Doubt Chad Brown Lock of the Day #7 Break Curfew (5/2) – This filly is very quick and also has an early pace advantage over this group. Gate to wire at Saratoga.

Not a great start to the Saratoga meet, but the Guillo 1st time starter in race 5 kept us afloat. Off the turf again today except for races 3 and 9. Time to hop back in the saddle, Let’s Ride.

 

Race 1 1 1/8 Mile. MC 20000

#3 Derby Memories (6/1) – 2nd off the long layoff, he’s lightly raced, drops in class and returns to dirt where he showed speed in his debut. He also posted a nice work leading into today.

Race 2: 1 1/8 Mile. (OFF Turf) S.Mdn 78k

#13 Daddy Knows (1/1) – The lone MTO runner for Linda Rice, he looks tough to beat.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

#5 Ferdinanda (7/2) – She looks to get a perfect stalking trip sitting behind a hot pace. The Conductor’s only concern is her affinity to run 2nd. He’ll key her in the exacta.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. Clm 12500

#3 Soul P Say (7/2) – Cutting back to a sprint should hit him right between the eyes.

Race 5: 5 ½ Furlongs. F.Mdn 90k

#9 Filly Dilly (4/1) – Her debut got taken off the turf as well and she slaughtered the field.

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. S.OC 25000n1x

*Never a Doubt Friday Night Bottle Service Best Bet of the Day #2 Dreamzapper (3/1) – Dropping out of open company and shipping in from Churchill, he looks primed for a big effort.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) G3 Forbidden Apple Stakes

#3 Hembree (8/1) – 2nd off the layoff, he ran a thunderous late pace figure in the Poker, closing into a slow pace. He’s a G2 winner and always runs well at this distance.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Quarbaan (6/1) – He’s the one the Conductor likes most in here. Dropping out of G1 company and shortening back in distance, the Conductor is salivating at that price.

The Conductor’s Opening Day Plays at Saratoga

on By 1 Comment

With Saratoga opening tomorrow, the Conductor will keep the train in the station and give you passengers some time to prepare. He’ll give you some specific plays tomorrow, but he’s already done the heavy lifting.  It’s an absolute handicapping battle with these cards. Full fields and all connections pointing their horses for a win at the Spa. The Conductor will be sure to press when he’s up and chase when he’s down. May the Pony Gods bless us this meet, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 3/16 Mile. Clm 14000n3L

#6 Tiz No Bluff (5/1) – 3rd off the layoff, he looks to build on a very strong last race. He pressed a hot pace and then blew away the competition.

Race 2: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 90k

#1 Cain V and D C (30/1) – The major step up in class off a year layoff and recent bullet works give the Conductor a funny feeling in his left knee. He’ll key him in the trifecta.

Race 3: 1 1/8 Mile. Alw 92000n1x

*Never a Doubt Best Bet of the Day #7 The Rock Says (4/1) – This colt has faced full fields and pressed hot paces in every start. He’s improving, and the Conductor is going to look to shippers on dirt early in the Saratoga meet with how weak the Belmont fields were.

Race 4: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 35000n3L

#8 Bemma’s Boy (12/1) – 1st off the claim for Maker, he’s switching back to the lawn where he’s run his best.

Race 5: 5 ½ Furlongs. S.F.Mdn 78k

#5 Big Q (12/1) – Rosario doesn’t ride for Guillo often and he hopped aboard an 12/1 debut winning filly for him last week.  The Conductor is intrigued.

Race 6: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) S.Alw 80000n1x

#11 Elenzee (5/1) – This gelding has an early pace advantage over this field. Always dangerous in a turf sprint.

Race 7: 1 /18 Mile. (Turf) F.S.OC 40000n2x

#10 Wegetsdamunnys (6/1) – 3rd off the layoff, she’s had no pace to run at and has closed well in her two starts this year. She looks primed for a peak effort.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.G3 Schuylerville Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #3 His Glory (15/1) – The Conductor will go for glory here. This filly looked like the goods in her debut romp and will be ignored because she’s shipping from Indiana. Other runners have come back to improve their speed figures by 30 points, which tells the Conductor her effort was much faster than it looks on paper.

Race 9: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) G3 Quick Call Stakes

#10 Sombeyay (6/1) – 3rd off the layoff, he showed talent on dirt as a 2-year-old and also has a little turf in his pedigree. He’s been working well on turf, so the Conductor will trust Pletcher.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.MC 40000

#5 Darling of the Spa (6/1) – With that name debuting on opening day at Saratoga for Chad Brown? She was only 10k at the Keeneland sale so running for a tag doesn’t scare the Conductor.

Time to head to the beach and pick up a lump of cash. This late pick 4 looks delightful headlined by the Belmont Derby. Let’s Ride.

Race 8: 7 Furlongs. G2 John A. Nerud Stakes

*Never a Doubt Late Pick 4 Single Lock of the Day #7 Do Share (7/2) – He had a troubled trip and no pace to run at last time. The Conductor has been awaiting to play him back.

Race 9: 1 1/4 Mile. (Inner Turf) G1 Belmont Derby

#7 Wooderson (12/1) – He looks to get a good trip up close to a slow pace and the Conductor likes his steady progression.

#11 Pavel (8/1) – If he doesn’t show up today, he’s dead to the Conductor. The Conductor is a suborn man and will give him one more chance.

Race 11: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 80k

#1 Downstream (12/1) – The Conductor will use her with the with the Chad Brown runners, #9 and #11. In her debut she contested the pace with Newspaperofrecord. That’s all the Conductor needs to see at a big price.
