Race 7: 1 Mile. OC 62500n2x

*Throat Shot Thursday Whack of the Day #8 Chilly in Charge (15/1) – The Conductor will key this colt in the exacta and trifecta. He’s very consistent on dirt and has proven he can win routing. Exiting a sprint, he’ll be in a good position early, up close to what looks to be a moderate pace.

aqueduct

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Alw 50000s

#1 Kitten by the Sea (7/2) – Throw out her last race that got rained off the turf at Aqueduct, she’s clearly the one to beat in the Conductor’s opinion.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) Alw 82000n1x

#10 Godlovesasinner (15/1) – He draws a tough post, but at a monster price the Conductor will be using him. He’s in his best form and ran a huge 3rd last time at 47/1. God does love the Conductor!

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L

#6 Freedom Force (7/2) – He pressed the pace vs miles tougher last time and drops back to a proper level today. He’s by far the one to beat.

#12 Number One Dillon (10/1) – Taking a class plunge as well, his race 3 back beats this field. He could surprise this group.

#8 Dangerous Edge (5/1) – A first time gelding for strong connections, you must be weary of him.

Belmont Park: Late Pick 5 Key Horses for Sunday, November 1

Exciting horse race start at Belmont Park with multiple jockeys and horses bursting from the starting gates.

Let’s end the Belmont Park weekend strong. Skip.

Race 5: 1 Mile. S.Mdn 70k

#2 Polpis (4/1) – In an open race, the Conductor likes this 1st time starter. He’s working well at Belmont Park and Irad takes the mount for a barn he rarely rides for.

Race 6: 11/16 Mile. (Likely OFF Turf) Clm 30000n2L

#9 One Eyed Jack (6/1) – Taking a big drop in class, he go cooked in a hot pace last time. He has the best dirt form in the group.

Race 7: 7 Furlongs. F.Pumpkin Pie Stakes

#6 Never Enough Time (3/1) – Anyone can win this race, but the Conductor will land on the lone speed. With a nice outside draw they’ll have to come and catch her.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Likely OFF Turf) Chelsey Flower Stakes

*Sabbath Sunday Prayer of the Day #3 Zeyaraat (15/1) – She won her debut at Belmont Park nicely on dirt and ran well with a troubled trip last time. Running well sprinting on the dirt and then routing on yielding turf in her first two starts is not easy to do.

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Alw 72000n1x

*Back Two Back Whacks of the Day #6 Miss Jimmy (12/1) – If we get anything near 12/1 on this filly the Conductor will take out a loan to bet her. We might because of the connections, but on paper the Conductor would argue she’s the one to beat. Cutting back to a sprint today she has every chance.

Belmont Park

Belmont Park time, Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 1½ Mile. (Turf) F. Zagora Stakes.

Cambeliza (12/1) – This race is wide open, but this is the price the Conductor likes most. She’s improving as a 4-year old and showed a strong kick last time closing into a slow pace at Keeneland

Race 7: 6½ Furlongs. S.Alw 72000n1x

#4 Jerry Nipper (5/2) – Bullet works at Belmont off the layoff for Pletcher, he smells like one that runs off the screen.

#1 Notorious Flirt (10/1) – 1st time gelding off a long layoff, he’s working well for Linda Rice. He looks to get a nice trip with a hot pace to run at.

#7 Troubleshooter (15/1) – 2nd off the layoff and cutting back to a sprint after a nice win last time, he looks to get a nice trip and has upside.

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. (Inner Turf) Awad Stakes

*#9 Heat of the Night (10/1) – Dropping out of a Grade 1 race where he had a troubled trip, this gelding has talent and should be a fair price.

Race 9: 7 Furlongs. G3 Bold Ruler H.

#2 Share the Ride (5/2) – He has an early pace advantage over this group. He’s the one to beat.

*#4 Arch Cat (10/1) – Far back behind a slow pace last time at Belmont, the Conductor will forgive that effort. He loves to win and his figures fit with this group. Anything close to 10/1 would get the Conductor tingly.

Belmont Park

Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.S.MC 40000

#7 Let Artie (15/1) – She’s bred for the lawn and this trainer can hit with big prices on debut. She’s working well at Belmont and Cancel has been riding his best.

 

Belmont Park: Late Pick 5 Key Horses for Sunday, October 25

Exciting horse race start at Belmont Park with multiple jockeys and horses bursting from the starting gates.

Chooooooooooo!!!!!! Chooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Wow, I am so thankful to be a passenger, you are the best Conductor! I can by so many more t-shirts with all the money you won me yesterday and now everyone will think I’m cool! I thought the Conductor was going to take the today off at Belmont to celebrate too, but he will never rest on his laurels. What a generous man, Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 1 Mile. Clm 16000n2L

The Conductor likes #8 Vitesse (7/2) best in here, but a price that intrigues him is #4 Centsmybabyleftme (12/1). Stretching out today 2nd off the layoff he’ll go right to the front and there isn’t much other speed signed on. He may be able to slip away.

Other Contenders: #3 Allied Invasion (6/1), #10 Economic Policy (2/1)

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Rapido Gatta (15/1) – Stretching out on turf for the first time, this filly ran some very strong races vs tougher on dirt last year. She ran a good 3rd sprinting last time and the Conductor will key her in the trifecta at a big number.

belmont

Other Contenders: #4 Kitten’s Romance, #5 Fly Fight Win (5/1), #8 Giggle Factory (8/1), #10 Wicked Happy (7/2), #12 Spring to Summer (6/1)

Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. OC 62500n2x

#4 High Velocity (4/1) – Cutting back to a sprint at Belmont after pressing a hot pace off a layoff, 4/1 would be glorious.

Other Contenders: #1 Last Judgement (5/2), #7 Pete’s Play Call (7/2)

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Athena Stakes

This is a wide-open race and the Conductor doesn’t have a strong opinion. He’ll grit his teeth and lean on the Clement runners #2 Call Me Love (7/2) and #3 Feel Glorious (8/1)

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. (Turf) F.S.Alw 72000n1x

#5 Fresco (2/1) – Shortening back to 7 furlongs and Irad hopping aboard, he’s clearly the one to beat.

Belmont Park: The Late Pick 4 for Monday, October 12

A group of racehorses competing on a grassy track at Belmont Park during a horse race.

The 15/1 shot in the 7th knocked the Conductor out right away yesterday. Hopefully some passengers were able to make a few shekels with the Gullet Shot of the Day running 2nd at 11/1 in the finale. The Conductor needs these prices at Belmont to stop getting beat by a neck, its bad for his health. Today’s late sequence is very intriguing. Let’s Ride.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. (OFF Turf) F.S.MC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #13 Tiny Magoo (5/1) – With this race being taken off the turf, the Conductor looks immediately to the MTO’s. Throw out her last race where they tried turf and she’s run the best races of the group. 5/1 would be delightful.

belmont

#11 Chaika (8/1) – Be weary of trainer Richard Lugovich with 1st time starters. He runs very few horses but when he does they often win at big prices.

Other Contenders: 8,13,14

Race 7: 1 Mile. Clm 40000

The Conductor can make a legit case for any of the runners of here. Your on your own on this one, its about time you take some responsibility. The Conductor suggests you include as many as possible.

Contenders: All

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Alw 65000n1x

#4 Clench (6/1) – Stepping up in class today, this boy is in good form. He returns to Belmont where he is 2/2 lifetime and has enough back class for the conductor to give him a strong look.

Other Contenders: 2

Race 9: 6½ Furlongs. Clm 16000n2L

#1 After Prom Party (8/1) – Any winner of their last race is dangerous in a low level non winners of two event. He has good early speed and is lightly raced with more upside than many of the other proven losers in here.

#4 Dr. Devera’s Way (6/1) – Dropping to this level for the first time, you’ll get a better price because of low level connections than you should. He has every chance.

#8 Jack of Clubs (15/1) – Taking the blinkers off, switching back to dirt and also dropping in class. He’s a wildcard that the conductor can see surprising at a big number. He hasn’t raced on dirt since last year and those efforts certainly fit right in with this group.

Other Contenders: 5

Belmont Park: The Late Pick 5 for Friday, October 9

Horses racing at Belmont Park with jockeys in colorful silks on a dirt track.

3/4 in the pick 4 yesterday at Belmont Park and the Conductor is kicking himself for not using the lone speed in the first leg. Of course, his two horses after scratches run 2nd and 3rd behind him. But as the old saying goes, if you don’t hit the late pick 4 on Thursday, play and whack the late pick 5 on Friday. Skip.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. Clm 12500

#8 Our Honor (8/1) – Returning to Belmont, he’s 3/5 lifetime over the track and gets a major rider upgrade to Saez today. He’s the price horse the Conductor must use.

Other Contenders: #6 Summer Bourbon (4/1), #1 Vincero (5/2)

Race 7: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) S.Alw 55000n1x

#12 Stanhope (6/1) – 2nd out for the Cox Barn, he was as cooked in a hot pace last time and folded. He’s getting Lasix today for the first time and is working well.

Other Contenders: #11 Microsecond (2/1), #8 Fly Fly Away (8/1), #1 Point Him Out (8/1)

Race 8: 1 1/16 Mile. Alw 65000n1x

#3 Adare (3/1) – This colt has run huge late pace figures without the aid of hot paces in his last two starts. He’s the one to beat.

Other Contenders: #7 Fed Funds (10/1), #8 Mischeif Afoot (7/2)

Race 9: 1 1/8 Mile. (Inner Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

*#3 Sorrentina Lemon (2/1) – Most of the Conductor’s play will go throw this filly. She’s yet to run a bad race.

Belmont Park

The one that most scares the Conductor #4 Orglandes (5/1) – 2nd time in in the US for Chad Brown with Irad aboard, the Conductor likes her European class.

Race 10: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 30000n2L

The Conductor can’t get too narrow here.

Contenders: #1 Hard Count (5/2), #2 Spitball (10/1), #3 Crack Shot (9/2), #6 What’s to Blame (6/1)

Nothing like holiday racing. Avoiding your “normal” family with a glass of stew in the basement and firing away on ponies and football/basketball with your degenerate cousins and uncles. Beautiful day at Aqueduct indeed, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 Mile. MC 40000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 Bobbyfromthepalm (8/1) – He took money at the windows in his debut vs tougher at Saratoga. 1st off the claim for George Weaver, he’s working well and stretches out to a route for the first time.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) F.S.Mdn 62k

#8 Chouchou de Boo (8/1) – She ran well in her debut at a huge number in a race taken off the turf. She should move up on the grass an Castellano takes the mount.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Tempers Way (8/1) – Getting back on the turf, she’s the only girl who wants the lead in year. She has a major chance to wire this field.

#6 Overheated (10/1) – This girl stretches out to a turf route for the first time and this group is very average. Rosario has hit with some big prices riding for Ray Handal recently.

#8 Singapore Trader (10/1) – 2nd off the layoff and stretching back out to his best distance, he didn’t run a step last time but was bet to favoritism.
