A nice Sunday for the Conductor at Oaklawn yesterday, multiple 4/1 winners and a few shorter prices as well. A solid weekend has the caboose filled with cash as we reset and start a new workweek. First stop will be Mahoning Valley for the Conductor today. A little Midwest racing with some nice full fields. Let’s keep the train rolling, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 Mile. Mdn 22.1K

#1 Mr Zydeco (9/2) – He’s been facing the toughest company of the group.

Race 2: 5 ½ Furlongs. F.S.Alw 38000nc

#4 Totally Obsessed (3/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, she won nicely last start and is drawn well to the outside of the favorite. She’ll get a great stalking trip just off the speed.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. F.Mdn 22.1K

#4 Sassy Seta (6/1) – She’s posting very consistent, quick works for a barn that can win first out. This field is ripe for a debut runner.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Clm 7500b

#6 Graduation Gift (8/1) – 1^st off the claim and 3^rd off the layoff, this old mare is very consistent and will be finishing strongly. The Conductor will key her in the exacta.

Race 5: 1m70yds. Alw 23500n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Last Drop of Wine (15/1) – No chance we get 15/1 on this gelding at Mahoning Valley, but hopefully a decent price. His figures fit at this level and he has an early pace advantage over this field.

Race 6: 1 Mile. Clm 40001y

#6 Saint’s Bro (8/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, he didn’t run a step last start but needed the race badly. His races last year give him every chance.

Race 7: 5 ½ Furlongs. Clm 4000n2L

#9 Compulsive (8/1) – Shipping in from Turf Paradise, he set the pace over a tiring surface last start and ran a good 3^rd. He also gets class relief today.

Race 8: 5 ½ Furlongs. Clm 5000n3L

*Never a Doubt Finisher Lock of the Day #4 Tap You’re It (5/2) – Lock it up, rub it down.

The Conductor’s Lock and another 3/1 winner were all Santa Anita gave us yesterday. Parx is cancelled today due to weather, so the Conductor will take the train up to Mahoning Valley for the 1st time this year. Nothing like being snowed in on the east coast and watching the ponies rumble. Let’s start the work week off right, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1m70yds. Clm 10000

#3 Eskendulce (3/1) – This old man has some strong back class and his price will likely float upwards.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Alw 32700n2x

#5 Angel’s Stormin (4/1) – 2^nd off the layoff, this girl showed a big improvement last start as a 3 year old. She’ll get the early lead and will be very dangerous.

Race 3: 1 Mile. Clm 5000n1y

#2 Swarm (5/1) – This old man ran a good 3^rd at Mahoning Valley last race, closing into a slow pace. He’s a proven winner and will be a high price with low % connections.

Race 4: 6 Furlongs. S.Clm 5000n1y

#6 Johnny Utah (4/1) – Dropping in class off the layoff, he’ll be on or near a slow pace. He’s a proven winner at this distance.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. Mdn 22.1k

#3 Battle Royale (4/1) – He made an early move into a hot pace last start and was only beaten 2 ½ lengths. Another step forward and he’ll hang on today.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. S.Alw 31300n2L

*Never a Doubt Cabin Fever Lock of the Day #9 Celtic Line (7/2) – He stumbled at the start and dueled setting a hot pace last race, finishing a game 2^nd. Drawn well to the outside, his early pace figures give him an edge.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 7500n4L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Plenty Quick (6/1) – This filly is cutting back to a sprint after pressing a hot pace last time out. The Conductor would kill for 6/1.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 5000

#8 Encouraged (10/1) – She’s dropping in class after closing into a slow pace going a mile vs tougher. She has a strong late kick and the Conductor will key her in the exacta and tri at a big number.
