What do you think about the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint Mr. Ductor?

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

#4 Lieutenant Dan (6/1) – This is a tough race where you could make a case for any. Although The Ductor had no problem. He landed on this gelding, who is in great form leading into this spot. Not only is he 2/2 over this Del Mar turf course, he also has the early speed to put himself in a good position early. If that wasn’t enough, e draws a good post position and the cutting back in distance from a longer race down the hill. He’ll be able to carry his speed and hit the wire in front.

#7 Charmaine’s Mia (30/1) – Exiting the same race as Lieutenant Dan, this mare set ridiculous fractions for 6 1/2 furlongs. After setting that wicked pace, she rightfully faded late. Before that she was really good this spring, winning multiple graded stakes going one. Cutting back to 5 furlongs here, the Ductor thinks she is extremely dangerous with the early pace she possesses. Prat will put her in a good position like he always does and she has a big chance to make the Ductor’s Day.

#9 Kimari (6/1) – She’s the classiest runner of the bunch and the Ductor won’t get beat by her. She’s coming in off a long layoff, but she always fires. No matter what track or surface, she must be respected.

Race 5: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) G2 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint

#1 Chimney Rock (10/1) – This colt will be coming from the back of the pack, but the Conductor doesn’t give him much of a chance to win. If he couldn’t beat #7 Kimari (7/2) last time with that trip, he never will. The post position did him no favors as well.

#2 Band Practice (IRE) (12/1) – The Conductor’s mostly against the Euro shippers in these sprint races. This short of a sprint isn’t what they are used to. You must really impress the Conductor across the pond to make him respect you, and this filly doesn’t.

#3 Another Miracle (15/1) – This colt looks too slow for the Conductor.

#4 Dream Shot (IRE) (15/1) – He likes to run underneath at big prices, but isn’t good enough to win.

#5 Encoder (15/1) – This is a home game for this colt, and he’ll appreciate the cutback in distance after making an early move into a hot pace last time. Without the pace you would expect in here, the Conductor thinks he can only get up for minor awards.

#6 Alligator Alley (GB) (12/1) – Fade

*#7 Kimari (7/2)

The Conductor loved the new dimension he showed last time sitting off the pace. He’s shown brilliance in his young career and can dictate his own trip. The Conductor has a feeling that he is going to put on a show in this one.

#8 Dr Simpson (FR) – Fade

#9 Four Wheel Drive (3/1) – The other Ward runner, he’s shown major ability in his first two starts with two easy victories. He looks to get a good trip up close to the pace, but the Conductor would never take him at a lower price than Kimari, who is much more proven.

#10 A’Ali (IRE) (6/1) – Of the Euro shippers, he’s the one the Conductor likes best. He has a nice burst when asked and will appreciate the firmer ground. The Conductor thinks he’s dangerous.

#11 King Neptune (15/1) – Fade

#12 Cambria (12/1) – She hasn’t done anything wrong, but has a tough draw and doesn’t have the early speed to give her a chance on the win end.

Kimari looks to be one of the runners the Conductor is narrowing in on this Breeders Cup.
