Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. S.Funny Cide Stakes 200k

#7 Cleon Jones (8/1) – His maiden breaker last start at Saratoga is the fastest performance this field has on the Conductor’s numbers. 8/1 would be a treat.

*Gullet Shot of the Day #1A Fancy That (8/1) –  In her first time on turf last start, she ran better than it looks on paper, closing to split the field in a race without much pace.

The Conductor will key her in the exacta and trifecta.

Saratoga

Race 1: Cancelled

Race 2: 1 1/8 Mile. F.OC 25000n1x

#1 South of the Shore (8/5) – 2nd behind Dunbar Road who came back to win the Alabama on Saturday. 8/5 in a 5-horse field would not be a bad price.

#4 Rejected Again (2/1) – He’s most likely, the Conductor doesn’t have a strong opinion in here.

Race 4: 1 5/8 Mile. (OFF Turf) John Call Stakes 100k

Race 8: 5 ½ Furlongs. (OFF Turf) F.Clm 50000b

Race 9: 6 Furlongs. S.Alw 80000n1x

#3 Our Last Buck (8/1) – Switching back to dirt at Saratoga and dropping out of open company, his race two back at Aqueduct would be tough for this field to beat. 2nd off the layoff, he’ll be ready to roll.

*Never a Doubt Humpday Best Bet #4 Hartel (4/1) – This girl took a step forward last start and ran her best last year sprinting on this turf course. Prat taking the mount is a great sign.

Horses and jockeys racing from the starting gate at Saratoga Turf Course during a horse race.

The Conductor is reeling. Every time he starts to build momentum, he gets booted in the face by the pony gods. So many over bet horses winning, so many strange results, Saratoga is a fickle beast. Times are tough and the Conductor doesn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Does he quit and go sit in the back of the train? Or does he throttle it and take down the mandatory payout Empire 6? We all know the answer to that, and that’s why we hopped aboard this train. Let’s Ride.

Yesterday was fun. Except when the Conductor 3 putted from two feet on the 36th hole to lose the match. To be fair, 36 holes and an exuberant amount of stews means it was completely unsanctioned and will be stricken from the record. Saratoga time, Let’s Ride.
