Churchill Downs Pick 5 time. Skip.

Churchill Downs Race 5: 1 Mile. Clm 20000b

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Adhhar (6/1) – Stretching out to a route and dropping in class, this gelding looks to get a favorable trip up close or on a moderate pace. Amoss is 29% with a +$0.59 ROI with runners going two sprints to a route this year.

Race 6: 1 Mile. Clm 8000n2L

#6 Tom’s Last General (10/1) – Cutting back to a sprint and switching from turf to dirt, this colt will be very fit. His numbers fit with this group and the Conductor will try to get him in the exacta.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 50000n2L

#7 Beauty Day (6/1) – First off the claim for John Ortiz, this filly draws well to the outside and will be up close to a moderate pace. The Conductor likes the bump up in class and the turnback to a sprint.

Race 8: 1 Mile. OC 100000n2x

#5 Wild Wes (4/1) – #1 Dennis’ Moment (5/2) is working well and he shows up, they’ll be running for 2^nd. However, this gelding is intriguing. He’s stretching out for the 1^st time and ran huge last time behind the freak Nashville. He has major upside.

Race 9: 1 Mile. MC 50000

#10 Bird Ruler (2/1) – Dropping in class after running well at Churchill Downs in his debut, he’s clearly the one to beat.

2/4 with shorter prices and a 2^nd at Churchill Downs, chaos at Aqueduct, and nothing special at Del Mar Friday. The Conductor needs some of his bombs to come home this weekend. Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.OClm 20000

#6 Its Cold in Dehere (7/2) – He looks to get a perfect setup and loves Churchill Downs. The Morey barn is red hot, over 5/2 and he’s a good bet.

Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. F.Mdn 85k

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Bel Fiore (12/1) – She showed ability in her debut, closing for 3^rd into a slow pace. Then she had a rough start last time after being bet to favoritism. There is more under the hood here and the Conductor likes the switch to Gaffalione in the irons.

Race 9: 1 Mile. F.G3 Chilukki Stakes

#1 New Roo (20/1) – This filly moved early into a hot pace last time and faded late. Her prior two efforts fit with this group on numbers and she’s one of the longest shots on the board. The Conductor will key her in the trifecta at a bomb.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. Clm 10000b

#8 Blanket of Roses (6/1) – He’s taking a big drop in class for strong connections. He’s yet to run on dirt, but has run well on both turf and synthetic. In an open race, he has every chance.

Alright passengers, we need a bounce back week so the Conductor can have a full Thanksgiving dinner next Thursday. It starts tomorrow at Churchill Downs and there are a bunch of prices jumping of the page. The Conductor will be tossing and turning dreaming about them tonight. Let’s Ride.

Churchill Downs Race 5: 7 Furlongs. F.OClm 50000

*#1 Dash to the Top (5/2) – Taking a big class drop and cutting back to a sprint, she’s a clear standout in here and a single.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 30000

*Double Barreled Buckshot #7 Spy a Star (10/1) – This filly made a decent move going 1 mile at last time before tiring and the Conductor loves the turnback to a sprint. Her best race was a good 3^rd at Churchill Downs sprinting vs tougher two starts back.

#10 Sugar Diva (10/1) – You can ignore her race last time on a sloppy track, and she showed ability in her debut prior. She is taking a major class drop as well.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. Alw 50000s

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Hygh I. Q. (8/1) – He made a nice move before tiring late last time. Making his 3^rd career start and shortening a half furlong today, anything near 8/1 is a must bet.

Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

#2 Extra Effort (8/1) – She got cooked up close to a hot pace on dirt last time  and in her lone turf effort two back, she ran a good 3^rd vs similar company. Switching back to turf today, this filly can hit the board at a nice price.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. Clm 10000b

#2 Jimmy Joe (10/1) – Cipriano Contreras can get them ready off the layoff and this gelding has a strong early pace figure edge over this field. He can escape on the front end at a big number.

The Conductor’s key horses keep scratching at Churchill Downs. With rain in the forecast, the Conductor will focus on the early pick 4 tomorrow with all dirt races. The Conductor is annoyed and the track will need to atone for its sins on the Sabbath. Let’s Ride.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 10000b

#1 Abramax (3/1) – It was tough to make up ground on the Keeneland dirt and that’s just what she did last time. Dropping in class today, she’s the most likely winner and very playable if she’s not bet too hard.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. MC 30000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Thrown for a Loupe (8/1) – He dueled into submission last time and plunges in class today. He also shortens a furlong and draws a nice outside post. The Conductor prays he’s close to that price.

Race 4: 1 Mile. Alw 87000n1x

#2 Glory Road (4/1) – Cross out his last race when he broke thru the gate. His race two back at Churchill Downs stretching out for the first time gives him more than a chance against this group.

Race 5: 1 Mile. Mdn 85k

#1 Adara (10/1) – There aren’t any standouts in here, so the Conductor will peek at this 1^st time starter. He’s well bred and has a decent work tab at Churchill Downs for strong connections. Additionally, trainer Ken Mcpeek is 11% with a +$0.49 ROI debuting runners over a mile this year.

Everyone knows weekday racing is for the birds. Saturday at Churchill Downs is where the actions at. The Conductor’s Breeders’ Cup hangover is over, Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) OC 62500n2x

#10 Holiday Stone (6/1) – Dropping out of Grade 3 company, his race two back gives him every chance. He looks to get a good trip in here, with a hot pace to run at.

Race 8: 1 Mile. Clm 50000b

*Gullet Shot of the Day 10 Lonely Private (6/1) – Stretching out for the first time, he’ll be able to put himself in a good spot early in a race without much other pace. Trainer Wesley Hawley is also 3/11 with a +$0.64 ROI this year taking the blinkers off.

Race 9: 1 Mile. F.Alw 87000n1x

#4 Ocean Breeze (8/5) – After her wide trip last time at Churchill Downs, she should be able to handle this group. Her love for 2^nd scares the Conductor, but he will stay strong.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.G2 Mrs. Revere Stakes

*Chiseled in Stone Lock of the Day #1 Hendy Woods (3/1) – Dropping out of a much tougher Grade 1 field that has come back live, she ran pretty well up close to a quick pace last time. Press her.

Race 11: 1 Mile. F.Mdn 85k

#9 Empress Catherine (6/1) – She was hammered at the windows at Churchill Downs in her debut and didn’t show much. The Conductor will forgive that effort and bet she shows her real ability here.

Woof, the Conductor’s been off the stew this week and his runners still haven’t finished running at Churchill Downs. Not to worry, he’s got a tall glass in his hand right now. Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

*Double Barreled Buckshot #2 Luvin Bullies (10/1) – This mare is a hard knocker and you can ignore her last two races that were taken off the turf. She’s working well off a short layoff.

#3 Violenza (12/1) – She had a tough trip last time at Churchill Downs and her two prior efforts put her right there. In an open race, she has every chance.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. MC 30000

*Force Feed Friday Best Bet of the Day #9 Beaucette’s Ekati (4/1) – This colt made a nice move on the turn before yielding late and drops in class today. 4/1 would be a treat.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 30000n2L

#10 Eagle Eye (4/1) – She had a wide trip last time off the layoff at Churchill Downs and showed talent in her debut. Another hammer job if she’s 4/1.

Race 9: 1 Mile. F.Alw 87000n1x

#4 Ocean Breeze (8/5) – This filly is a standout on numbers. If you can’t trust her today you never can.

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 85k

#7 Aeronaut (20/1) – He’s working well and trainer Vickie Foley is 3/12 with a +$3.50 ROI this year with 1^st time starters. Mitchell Murrell also takes the mount for a barn he never rides for.

Finally, we’re back at Churchill tomorrow. Let all the fair-weather passengers go back to their holes after the Breeders’ Cup. Or, hopefully their dumping their winnings into the Conductor’s pools. Let’s Ride.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Clm 50000

#5 Rijeka (8/1) – Dropping in class and shortening in distance, he’ll be very fit and had no chance behind a tepid pace last time.

Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. MC 30000

#4 Tribulation (9/2) – He was bet to favoritism last time at Churchill and stumbled at the start. He showed ability in his debut and the Conductor likes the rider switch to Gaffalione.

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 62500n2x

#3 Two Thirty Five (5/2) – Although it was against weaker, his last race would beat this field. He has strong clack class and he may float up in odds with a few others in here that will take money.

Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 87000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #5 Choate Bridge (10/1) – He took a big step forward last time at Churchill making up ground behind a slow pace. He should get a pace to run at this time and the Conductor sees him running a peak effort 3^rd off the layoff.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 85k

#5 Atoka (10/1) – This colt just missed Saratoga last year in his debut, showing talent and the ability to run well off the layoff. He’s working well entering today and will be a big number.

No Bueno at Belmont today, but the Conductor is wishing they ran the Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs. Another #Gullet Shot of the Day answered the bell. You passengers bet him down to 4/1, get your grubby little hands out of the Conductor’s pools. Let’s finish the week strong prepare for the Breeders’ Cup next week. Skip

Race 6: 1 Mile. (Likely OFF Turf) Mdn 85k

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1A Thrill (6/1) – The Conductor likes this colt stretching out for the first time on either surface. 3^rd off the layoff, he’s working well over this Churchill surface.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 85k

#6 Angkor (8/1) – This colt is well bred and the Conductor really likes his work tab for a hot barn.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Alw 87000n1x

#1A Answer In (3/1) – Returning off a long layoff, this gelding showed real talent as a two-year-old. His work tab suggests Cox has him ready to fire.

Race 9: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

#1 Tweety Show (5/1) – She ran a much-improved last race last time, finishing strong despite being stuck inside the entire stretch. She won at 13/1 at this distance at Churchill last year and the Conductor sees her running her best today.

#4 Golden Curl (5/1) – If it’s rained off the turf, then the Conductor prefers this filly.

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. MC 15000

#8 Fugitive (9/5) – The Conductor doesn’t like this race, he’s most likely.

Another solid day for the Conductor as Force Feed Friday Play of the Day #9 Night Time runs 2^nd at 11/1 in the 8^th and Silver Prospector wins at 5/2 in the 9^th. The races will finally be back on the turf Saturday and the Conductor is ready to pounce. Keep loading the coal at Churchill Downs, Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 1 Mile. F.OC 80000b

#2 Gold Standard (9/5) – 2^nd off the layoff today, she moved early into a hot pace last time. The Conductor doesn’t see anyone else beating her.

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

#1 Bourbon in May (3/1) – Closing into a slow pace last time, he ran even better than it looks. He continues to progress in the Maker barn.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.Mdn 85k

*Gullet Shot of the Day #11 Minute Waltz (10/1) – The Conductor loves her work tab at Churchill with two bullet 5 furlong works and trainer Philip Bauer can win with first timers. The runners with experience aren’t standouts in here.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 150000b

#2 Fact Finding (4/1) – This old man is in great form and will get the early lead. He has a major chance to take them all the way around.

#8 Captivating Moon (5/1) – He had no shot last time at Churchill, stuck behind horses and a slow pace. 3^rd off the layoff today he’ll be rumbling late.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 50000

#4 A Kitten for Katie (5/1) – The runners with experience in here aren’t anything special. This 1^st timer for Maker fits nicely.
