Force Feed Friday: The Conductor’s Plays at Oaklawn Park

A group of racehorses competing on a dirt track during a horse race event.

The Conductor’s brain is in a pretzel there are too many games, too many races, too much action going on right now.  He believes he stunk yesterday, but he’s alive an that’s all that matters. If you live to fight another day in March, then you are a winner.  Come get some Oaklawn, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 1/16 Mile. MC 10000

#4 Hesluck (15/1) – Dropping in class going two sprints to a route, he is untested going longer.  He’s a wildcard that can hit the board at a monster number.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. S.Clm 16000n2L

#3 Oh So Tall (6/1) – His early pace figures make him dangerous in a sprint without much early speed.

A 5/1 winner to start the card at Gulfstream yesterday.  The Conductor kept swinging, but Gulfstream was very elusive after that.  The Conductor has had enough of Gulfstream and likes the Oaklawn card today.  A quick trip down to Arkansas never hurt anybody.  Oaklawn doesn’t have the Stamina to go 12 rounds with the Conductor.  Let’s Ride.
