The Conductor’s Wednesday Preview at Saratoga

The Conductor's Scribe

Best bet of the day came home at 9/2 yesterday, which made for a positive Sunday. New week ahead, time to get into capping lab and prepare for glory. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: Hurdle Race

Race 2: 7 Furlongs. S.Mdn

#1 Freaky Styley (8/1) – Trainer Jorge Abreu is hitting at a 28% clip with a +$1.80 ROI this year with debut runners at this level.  This colt is working well, gets Rosario in the irons, and his sire is winning at a 16% rate with 1st timers.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.S.Mdn 78k

#2 Jen’s Battle (4/1) – Well bet in her debut for a low % barn, she stretches out to a route and moves to the grass for the first time. Her breeding suggests she’ll improve on the lawn.

#5 Mazal Eighteen (10/1) – Well-bred for the grass and 220k at auction, the Carmouche/Gargan jockey/trainer combo have been red hot to start the Saratoga meet.

Race 4: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) OC 80000n3x

*Never a Doubt Chad Brown Lock of the Day #2 Annals of Time (4/5) – She’s a standout in this group.

Race 5: 7 Furlongs. Clm 35000n3L

#1 Surface Strike (9/2) – He won nicely from the rail last start and a repeat effort gives him every chance.

Race 6: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) Mdn 90k

#10 Chimney Rock (6/1) – This colt showed good early speed in his debut in a race taken off the turf. He’ll step forward on the grass.

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) S. New York Stallion Stakes 150k

#5 Blindwillie McTell (4/1) – If he stays at or above that price, he’s a play for the Conductor. His figures on dirt tower over this field and trainer Linda Rice is very adept at switching horses over to turf.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. G2 Honorable Miss Handicap

#4 Mia Mischeif (7/5) – This filly has become legit this year.

Race 9: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.OC 62500b

#2 Victorias Fire (15/1) – This old mare is unproven on a firm turf course, but she loves to win and is extremely quick early. The Conductor thinks she’s dangerous at a big number.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. F.Alw 92000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #10 Private Beach (10/1) – Cutting back to a sprint after setting a scorching pace last time vs Dunbar Roade, the Conductor loves her.

#3 Risky Mandate (7/2) – Her blowout win in her debut was ultra-impressive.

Sabbath Sunday: The Conductor’s Prayers at Saratoga

The Conductor's Scribe

13 race card today at Saratoga with the cancellation yesterday. The Conductor is ready for war. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: Hurdle Race, pick your favorite color.

Race 2: 7 Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L

#7 Heyitsnricopalazo (12/1) – 2nd off the layoff, this gelding has the best early pace figures in the field in a sprint without much pace. The Conductor loves him.

Race 3: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) MC 65000

#9 Value Engineering (1/1) – Clearly the one to beat, the Conductor will use #2 Skywriting (6/1) and #5 Crypto Gold (12/1) in the exacta. Both 1st off the claim for Linda Rice.

Race 4: 1 1/8 Mile. F.G1 Coaching Club American Oaks

#5 Point of Honor (7/2) – Her win last time in the Black-Eyed Susan was legit, closing into a slow pace. She’s proven at the distance while the heavy favorite #1 Guarana (2/5) isn’t. Guarana looks like a super filly, but the Conductor is a skeptical man.

Race 5: 1 1/8 Mile. Mdn 90k

*Never a Doubt Best Bet of the Day #4 Scars Are Cool (6/1) – Favored at Churchill last time, he ran well closing into a slow pace. The added distance will be his friend.

Race 6: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.Clm 30000n2L

#12 Kinky Sox (10/1) – She showed ability at Saratoga in 2017 and has run well at Tampa in her return to the races this year.

Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 90k

#7 Mom’s Pass (4/1) – Drawn well, if she runs the same race as last time, she’ll be tough to beat.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 90k

#3 Yankee Empire (6/1) – He was very rank in his debut and still ran well. With some experience and natural progression, he’ll have every chance.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Inner Turf) Alw 92000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 King Cause (8/1) – He stepped forward when he tried turf for the first time two starts back and had no chance trying to close into a tepid pace last time. With low % connections his price will only go higher, the Conductor will key him in the exacta and trifecta.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. OC 62500n2x

#8 Borracho (7/2) – This son of Uncle Mo was flying late in the Woody Stephens. He looks to get a good setup again today.

Race 11: 5 ½ Furlongs (Turf) F.Caress Stakes

#3 Fire Key (5/1) – This mare has a chance to wire the field. She shortens in distance today and has wicked early pace figures.

Race 12: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) S.Alw 80000n1x

#11 Bad Guy (6/1) – Dropping back to state bred competition, he’s run well in all three of his career starts on turf. He should have been running on the lawn all along.

Race 13: 1 1/8 Mile. F.G3 Shuvee Stakes

#1 She’s a Julie (2/1) – 3rd off the layoff, she has recency over the favorite #5 Wow Cat (9/5). She’s also exiting the toughest last race in the field having faced Elate last time.

Esophagus Slice Saturday: The Conductor’s Haskell Day Plays at Monmouth Park

The Conductor's Scribe

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.

Race 1: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.OC 30000n2x

#8 Sweet Yare N Dira (9/2) – 3rd off the layoff, he loves this turf course and looks poised to run his A race today.

#7 Three to Thirteen (3/1) – He’s been running well against much tougher competition lately.

Race 3: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 12500

#11 The Accuser (6/1) – 3rd off the layoff for strong connections, he looks perfectly spotted here.

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) G3 Oceanport Stakes

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) OC 16000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 National Honor (6/1) – This gelding is much improved this year and will be flying late. The Lopez/Cibelli jockey/trainer combo has been hot the last few weeks.

Race 9: 5 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) Wolf Hill Stakes 75k

Race 10: 1 1/8 Mile. G3 Monmouth Cup Stakes

*Never a Doubt Ice Cold Stew in the Unbearable Heat Lock of the Day #3 Coal Front (8/5) – He set a scorching pace in the loaded Met Mile last start.  This class lays over this field in the Conductor’s eyes.

Race 11: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F.G3 WinStar Matchmaker Stakes

#3 Valedictorian  (5/2) – She’s a very consistent mare and very classy. She’ll likely be a better price than she should be with Chad Brown likely to take all the money

Race 12: 1 1/8 Mile. G1 TVG.com Haskell Invitational Stakes

#5 Mucho Gusto (2/1) – Shipping in for Bob Baffert, the Conductor is going to play against #7 Maximum Security (8/5). They are going to fly up front in this running of the Haskel. The Conductor sees this colt getting a perfect setup and out finishing the other contenders down the stretch.

Race 13: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 16000n2x

#5 Out of Trouble (4/1) – She ran a decent 3rd off a long layoff last time. She’ll take a step forward today with more fitness.

Race 14: 6 Furlongs. F.Mdn 47.5k

#5 Goddess of Cash (3/1) – 1st timer for Servis, she’s working well and Paco hops aboard. Her sire hits at 16% with debut runners and her dam is 5/5 producing winners.

Force Feed Friday: The Conductor’s Plays at Saratoga

The Conductor's Scribe

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

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.

#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.

*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

The Conductor's Scribe

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.

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

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

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.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Jack Van Berg (20/1) – 1st time out for the Michael Puhich barn, he ran a good 3rd against a tough 12-horse field at Churchill last time.
