Saratoga and Monmouth Park: Key Horses for Saturday, July 17

on By
Dynamic horse race featuring multiple jockeys in colorful silks competing on a dirt track, showcasing speed and excitement.

2/3 Yesterday at Toga with two 2/1 winners. It’s been a decent start to the Saratoga meet so far for the Ductor, but he’s yet to connect on a bombs. We have a monster Saturday of racing across the country as summer racing is in full effect. It’s a shame the Ductor won’t see the sun today. Skip.

Saratoga Race 7: 5½ Furlongs. (Turf) OC 80000n2x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #8 Gear Jockey (8/1) – This colt is very consistent and is cutting back to a sprint for the first time in his career. He get’s a rider upgrade and the Ductor sees this as a wide open race. He has the upside to jump up and win.

Saratoga

Saratoga Race 10: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F. G1 Diana Stakes

#6 Summer Romance (4/1) – Her stablemate rallied to beat her last time and the Ductor sees this race going through them two again. Speed has been very favorable over this turf course and she has a major early pace edge over this field. She’ll be tough to run down.

Monmouth Park Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. F.G3 Molly Pitcher Stakes

#6 Bajan Girl (9/2) – Throw out her last race in the slop and she’s the most likely winner in the Ductor’s opinion. She has strong back class and looks to get a favorable trip on or up close to a moderate pace.

Monmouth Park Race 11: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) -G1 United Nations Stakes

#10 Tribhuvan (3/1) – The likely 2nd choice, he will have it all his own way on the front end. He finished very well last time against a tougher group.

Monmouth Park Race 12: 1 1/8 Mile. Haskell-G1

#4 Hot Rod Charlie (6/5) – Not very creative, but the Ductor will single him. His Bemlont was more than impressive in defeat after setting that scorching pace. Lock it up.

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. Will Maximum Security strut his stuff? The Conductor sees him getting taken down again. Let’s drink some ice cold stew and make some money. Let’s Ride.

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

Race 2: 1m70yds. OC 16000n2x

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

Race 3: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 12500

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.

*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. Servis will want to show off on Haskell Day.
