Throat Shot Thursday: The Conductor’s Plays at Gulfstream Park

on By

The Conductor had Gift Box at 6/1 yesterday, but other than that he didn’t have many great opinions.  What a day of racing though, highlighted by Mckinzie’s dominant performance in the G1 Malibu Stakes.  Obviously he couldn’t run like that when the Conductor backed him in the Breeders Cup Classic. Whatever, he train is headed down to Gulfstream today, then we’ll head back to Santa Anita for the weekend.  Let’s Ride.

 

Race 1: 1 Mile. F.OClm 12500

#5 Amaluna (4/1) – This Ol’ mare is a hard knocker and ran her best race in a long time last start.  The Conductor sees her running a repeat effort and that will give her every chance against this field.

Race 2: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) Clm 16000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #11 The Zip Zip Man (12/1) – He won easily at Suffolk last start and that race was very fast on the Conductor’s numbers.  He’s working well and has run strong numbers at this distance.

Race 3: 7 Furlongs. F.OClm 50000

#5 Farfalla (5/2) – She blew away the field at Woodbine last start and with a natural step forward today she’ll be tough to beat.

Race 4: 5½ Furlongs. F.Clm 6250n2L

#6 Enigmatica (4/1) – This filly loves to run 2nd, but she’s in the best form of the group.  The Conductor will key her in the exacta.

Race 5: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 50000

#12 War Rose (6/1) – She draws a tough post, but has been posting bullet works and Johnny V hops aboard for a trainer Brandon Walshe, whom he never rides for.  That always catches the Conductor’s eye.

Race 6: 7 Furlongs. Clm 12500

#2 Nomad (8/1) – He ran a strong number in his victory on turf last start and has been gelded since.  Trainer Chad Summers is 20% with a +$0.26 ROI switching runners from turf to dirt this year.

Race 7: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) OClm 25000

#1 Captain Gaughen (10/1) – This veteran gelding runs his race no matter what level of competition and is money at 5 furlongs.  We get top connections in our corner as well.

*Never a Doubt Winter Vacation Lock of the Day #1 Pink Sands (9/2) – Closing into a slow pace to finish a solid 2nd vs tougher at Gulfstream last time, she looks primed to run her best today.  The Conductor would do terrible things for her price to stay up at 9/2.

Gulfstream Park

Race 9: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.OC 62500n2x

#10 Volatility Index (9/2) – This Chad Brown filly returns to the track after a year layoff.  If she’s the same horse she’ll beat this field, let alone if she’s better.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. F.Mdn 60k

#4 Makealitlemischief (6/1) – Heavily bet in her debut at Gulfstream, she didn’t bring her best and has been off since.  She’s bred to be a good thing and the Pletcher barn is heating up.

Again, only a few short-priced winners yesterday.  If we don’t have a big today, the Conductor will have to pawn off all his Christmas gifts.  He can’t get a feel for Gulfstream Park this week, maybe he’s having too much eggnog?  Who knows, but he better figure it out quick or his family will get Venmo requests for Christmas.  We just need one pony to turn the tide, Let’s Ride.

#6 Artist (7/5) – What a heinous race.  The Conductor doesn’t like anybody.

Race 3: 1 Mile. OC 75000n1x

*Never a Doubt Festivus Lock of the Day #2 Frosted Grace (3/1) – His last two races stand well above any of the races the others have run in here, 3/1 would be stealing.

Gulfstream Park

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. F.Clm 12500

#5 Return the favor (6/1) – She has an early pace edge over this field.  Her early pace figures stand above this group and she’s dropping in class.  She can get a comfortable lead and gut them.

Gulfstream Park

Race 9: 1 Mile. F.Clm 6250

#8 Grace’s Drama (3/1) – Ignore her last race at Gulfstream Park, where she had a trip from hell against much tougher.  Her prior races make her a standout against this group.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 75000n1x

#2 Comic Kitten (5/1) – Trainer Mike Maker has always thought a lot of her, thrusting her into G1 company after breaking her maiden.  She gets major class relief today.

Race 3: 5½ Furlongs. F.Mdn 60k

#4 Tapit’s Princess (5/2) – She was 500k at auction and her dam is 1/1 producing winners.  She’s working well at Gulfstream for top connections.

*Never a Doubt Car Payment Stone Cold Lock #9 Lady Worthington (7/5) – She ran too well to lose in her debut, finishing 2nd behind a next out winner.  She ran a figure well above par for this level and is working well.  The Conductor guarantees victory.

Gulfstream Park

Race 5: 1 1/16 Mile. Clm 6250

#10 Regal Force (15/1) – He’s ran well at today’s distance recently and has past figures that make him a contender.  The Conductor will key him in the trifecta at a big number.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 Colonel Moorhead (15/1) – He ran a big 4th with a troubled trip in a stakes race back in July.  That race came back very live, he adds blinkers today and is working well.  Rally the troops.

Gulfstream Park

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) OC 75000b

#10 Bricks and Mortar (9/2) – He’s the class of the field bar none but has been away from the races for over a year.  Does that really matter in the Chad Brown barn though? The answer is no.

Race 10: 7 Furlongs. G3 Mr. Prospector Stakes

#6 Heartwood (9/2) – This colt is steadily progressing an ran a game 2nd vs Grade 3 company last start.  That last start was the fastest last race in this field and he posted a sharp work on December 13th.

God damn Conductor lay off the stew when your handicapping please. Yesterday may have been the Conductor’s worst performance to date.  He couldn’t find a winner if it kicked him in the teeth.  I know what he was doing though, classic bait and switch technique.  Give Gulfstream all his losers on Thursday, then double down and murder it Friday-Sunday. Genius strategy, that’s why he’s the Conductor and we’re just passengers.  Let’s Ride.

Gulfstream Park

PT 12:35 ET Race 1: 1 Mile. MC 25000

#1 Dad’s Yankees (8/1) – With two sprint races under his belt, he’s now stretching out to a route for the first time. He’s shown the best early pace figs in the group and rail has been the place to be at the meet so far. He’ll be dangerous on the front end.

Race 2: 7 Furlongs. F.OClm 25000

#7 Bargainaire (6/1) – Steadily progressing, her blowout win a few weeks ago was a very strong performance.  1st off the claim for low % connections should keep her price high enough at post.

Race 3: 1 Mile (Turf) Mdn 60k

#1 Kiing Ottokar (20/1) – This field is almost entirely untested on turf and the Conductor is hunting for a price.  This colt took some money at the windows in his debut sprinting and split the field after breaking slow.  That race came back very live and he has top connections.

Race 4: 7 Furlongs. Clm 25000

#1 The Best Candy (12/1) – The low % trainer will keep his price high, but this colt rattled off three wins in a row in the fall out of the same barn.  He drops back to a competitive class level today and will appreciate the shorter distance.

Race 5: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 50000

#5 Gerry’s Big Win (4/1) – She’s taking a significant class drop and has the best early gas in the field.  Gate to wire.

Gulfstream Park

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) S.Mdn 45k

#2 Fort King (7/2) – Dropping out of open company, he set a preposterously hot pace last time out.  If he can ration his speed today he’ll be ultra tough.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #4 One’s Never Enough (15/1) – She caught a sloppy track at Gulfstream Park in her debut against tougher, but she’s been working very well on fast dirt and has solid connections.  One is never enough for the Conductor, he needs at least 7.

Gulfstream Park

Race 9: 1 Mile (Turf) S.OC 16000n1x

#5 Trumpi (8/1) – Dropping in class, he’ll appreciate the shorter distance and has been running consistently solid figures.  Any debut winner at Toga has talent.

The Conductor chirped Gulfstream Park after he had a 7/1 winner in the 4th race yesterday and then the pony gods turned on him the rest of the day.

The Conductor knows better than that, he’s dealt with the gods thousands of times, they do not look kindly upon arrogance.  Hopefully they have granted him forgiveness and we start today with a clean slate.  The Conductor is seeing winners today jump off the page, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) OC 25000n1x

#6 Singanothersong (7/2) – This old man is nails, he wins on turf and dirt and has legit speed.  Father time will get him eventually, but today is not the day.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 12500n3L

*Double Barrel Shotgun Shells of the Day #8 Memorize (10/1) – She’s stepping up in class but ran the highest last number in the field.  You don’t get big prices in that scenario very often.

#7 Nothins Free (8/1) – She improved 1st off the claim last start setting a hot pace and finishing 3rd vs tougher.  She’ll appreciate shortening a furlong as well.

Gulfstream Park

Race 5: 7 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.MC 20000

*Never a Doubt Christmas Shopping Refund Lock of the Day #6 Vincero (3/1) – 1st off the claim for Navarro and he’s already in the best form in the field.  Are you poor from Christmas shopping?  The Conductor demands you to put the rest of your life worth on this pony and recoup your losses.  You owe it to yourself.

Gulfstream Park

Race 7: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) S.MC 50000

#8 Elusive Ro (10/1) – Well bet on debut, he showed good early speed and finished 3rd on dirt.  The Conductor loves that Saez hops in the irons.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) OClm 50000

#2 First and Three (6/1) – Untested on turf, he’s won two of his 1st three starts on dirt with above par figures for this level.  If he can transfer his form to the turf, he’ll win.

Race 10: 6 ½ Furlongs. MC 16000

#6 Maximum (5/1) – A 1st time starter for top connections, he doesn’t have to beat much today at Gulfstream Park.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.MC 50000

#10 Miss Aja Brown (10/1) – She runs her best at this distance and has been facing tougher competition in New York.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. Clm 30000b

#10 Mr Joshua (3/1) – He’s been off since May, but off the bench for Gilberto Zerpa is no problem.  His form last spring cannot be matched by this field.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 35000n1x

#9 Kallio (8/1) – Pressing a hot pace against much tougher at Keeneland last start, she’ll appreciate the shorter distance.  Her win two starts back was very impressive.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #14 Discreet Heat (10/1) – Going two sprints to a route in his 3rd start off a layoff he is primed to run his best and has run the best figures sprinting in this field.  If he can get the distance he’ll win the finale at Gulfstream Park.

Race 2: 1 Mile. F.MC 12500

*Atom Bomb shot #4 Roses For Martina (15/1) – Going two sprints to a route and adding blinkers, she has upside and decent early speed in a race devoid of pace.  She’ll get a good trip on or near the lead and that can be all it takes to beat this field.

Race 3: 1 Mile. Clm 30000n2L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Why God (10/1) – The Conductor is praying God keeps this gelding’s price high.  He has a pace advantage over this group, has solid figures, and is steadily improving.  He’s the Conductor’s best bet of the day.

#1 Mjolnir (10/1) – Throw out his last race on a sloppy track, he’s run some very competitive numbers on turf for this level in his last few starts.  With the blinkers coming off, he should be able to sit off ha hot pace and come running late.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 6250n3L

*Atom Bomb Shot of the Day #2 Artesian (20/1) – Winner of her last start on synthetic, this mare will get another chance on turf, which she hasn’t gotten in years.  This is a weak group for this level and if she can translate her form to the grass she’ll have a chance.  The Conductor will key her in the trifecta as a bomb.

Race 9: 7½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Clm 16000n3L

#11 Run Blondie Run (4/1) – Much improved now in the Yvon Belsoeur barn, she’s in good form and a repeat effort of her last start will be tough to beat in here.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) MC 20000

#6 Indurate (8/1) – He’s been off since the summer, but he’s plunging in class and received the ultimate equipment change.  Nothing like a good clipping to wake a horse up.

6/5, 7/1, and two 7/2 winners yesterday gets the job done.  Is the Conductor satisfied? Never.  This is where we knock Gulfstream out. Let’s Ride.

 

Race 1: 5 ½ Furlongs. Clm 6250n3L

#4 Pokerist (2/1) – 2nd off the layoff and the only horse in the field in good dirt form, he should handle this group.

Race 2: 1 Mile. Clm 1200n3L

#2 Hookup (6/1) – Claimed off a low percentage trainer, he’s been facing much tougher and has the fastest speed figures in this group.  Let’s hope he doesn’t leave the bar empty handed.

Race 3: 6 Furlongs. Clm 16000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1 Gator Fifty Two (15/1) – Only beaten a length at this level at Gulfstream last start, he made an early move into a blistering pace.  There aren’t any world beaters in this field and he has a big chance at a nice price.

Race 4: 5 Furlongs (Turf) F.Clm 16000

#7 The Two Nancy’s (4/1) – Her last effort was fastest in the field on the Conductor’s numbers and she’s been in good form all year.  She’s drawn nicely and should get a perfect stalking trip.

Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 50000

*Never a Doubt Car Payment Lock of the Day #5 That’s That (5/1) – She drops in class after pressing a blistering pace at Keeneland vs much tougher.  Her race two starts back slaughters this field and she’s the Conductor’s best bet of the day if she stays above 3/1.

Race 6: 1 Mile (Turf) Clm 16000n2L

#2 Lookin Forevor (5/1) – He doesn’t like to win, which concerns the Conductor, but he’s dropping in class and the Conductor liked his last race.  Classic early move into a hot pace bet back.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. F.S.Mdn 45k

#2 Double Medal (5/1) – Pressing a scorching pace vs the boys last start, she ran a hell of a 2nd.  The Conductor loves the cutback in distance and trainer Jonathon Thomas is 29% with a +$0.55 ROI this year switching runners from turf to dirt.

Race 8: 7 ½ Furlongs. (Turf) F.Mdn 60k

#9 Niko’s Dream (8/1) – She closed into a moderate pace last start and just missed by a neck.  She should step forward in her 2nd start off the layoff and that will give her every chance.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. OC 25000n1x

#6 Brasstown (5/2) – In his first try routing on dirt last start at Gulfstream he won easy and a repeat effort would win again today.  The big sloppy track number doesn’t concern the Conductor, we are still at Navarro’s playground.

Race 10: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 20000

*Atom Bomb of the Day #6 Kindhearted Kota (20/1) – She ran a very strong late pace figure last start, closing into a tepid pace.  With a solid pace, she has as good of a chance as any in here.  Let’s end the day with an atom bomb.
