Graded Stakes Plays at Keeneland and Belmont Park

The late pick 5 paid over 30k yesterday at Keeneland, that would have been nice. The Conductor was happy to have a piece of Sugoi at 23/1 though. That salvaged his day and kept the train filled with coal. Not great cards at Keeneland or Belmont today so the Conductor will take the train out west mainly. He’ll post his Golden Hour Pick 4 at Santa Anita and Golden Gate later. Let’s Ride.

 

Belmont Park:

Race 3: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) G2 Knickerbocker Stakes

#4 En Wye Cee (2/1) – This improving Pletcher colt will only be making his 2nd career start on grass. The other contenders are nothing special in the Conductor’s opinion and there is absolutely no pace I the race. En Wye Cee should be able to dictate the terms on the front end and make them catch him down the stretch.

Keeneland

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) G2 Hill Prince

#7 Buy Land and See (4/1) – Stretching out from a sprint, he’ll have first run when they turn for home. The Conductor likes his works and he’s best going this distance. The exacta will be him and #3 Decorated Invador (1/1). Nothing more, nothing less.

Keeneland:

Race 8: 1½ Mile. (Turf) F.G3 Rood and Riddle Dowager Stakes

#2 Blame Debbie (2/1) – She’s in good form while the others are searching for it. The Conductor like that she’s already won over the Keeneland turf this meet as well.

Belmont Park time, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. F.Alw 25000s

#4 My Roxy Girl (2/1) – She looks to be cycling back to a top effort.

Race 2: 5½ Furlongs. S.MC 50000

#4 Hold My Call (7/5) – He looks tough to beat with the drop in class and early pace advantage.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Alw 77000n1x

#5 Here Comes Jackie (6/1) – Exiting a victory, she’s in good form and has a strong late kick.

Race 4: 1 Mile. F.Mdn 75k

#2 Always a Queen (4/1) – She was well bet in her debut vs tougher hand had no chance trying to close into a very slow pace. She’ll improve with the added distance as well.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational Stakes 150k

#4 Hawkish (6/1) – He’s coming in off a layoff, but that doesn’t concern the Conductor with the Toner Barn. He’s very consistent, a Grade 2 winner and will be flying late.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. (Inner Turf) F.G3 Matron Stakes

#1 Alms (1/1) – Her debut win was eye catching.

Race 7: 1 Mile. Mdn 75k

#1 Tapage (10/1) – This colt tired early in his debut, but is posting bullet works entering today. Kiaran McLaughlin is 22% this year with 2nd time starters.

Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) G2 Hill Prince Stakes

#9 Uncle Benny (10/1) – This colt returned to form last start and will be stretching out to this distance for the first time. He’s very talented, this isn’t the strongest group and Servis runners never have a problem going further.

Race 9: 1½ Mile. (Turf) G1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Cross Border (20/1) – Winner of three in a row and stepping up to the Grade 1 ranks, this is not the strongest Belmont G1 field. He’ll be the biggest price on the board and the Conductor will key him in the exacta and tri.

Race 10: 1 Mile. G1 Champagne Stakes

#6 Big City Bob (20/1) – This colt is the only one in the field that has won routing. He’ll have a hot pace to close into and will be finishing late. The Conductor will key him to hit the board.

Race 11: 1 Mile. (Turf) Mdn 75k

#6 Sul Moon (3/1) – He’ll graduate today.
