It’s tough right now to open the form on a weekday and see any track offering a good product. Horse racing is in a rough state. However, weekend cards are much more enticing and winter will come to an end at some point. Derby Prep season is beginning. Let’s start stacking coal before the spring is here. Skip.
Race 8: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F.OC 32000n2x
#2 Seat At the Table (6/1) – The Conductor has knocks against all the favorites in this race and likes this filly at a square price. She’s 2/2 on the turf this year and won last time stepping up in class and stretching out to this distance. She ran a formidable late pace figure last time and draws well today on the inside.
Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 53k
#10 Calla (20/1) – One of the Chad Brown horses will probably win this race, but the Conductor likes this filly to outrun her odds. She takes a big step up in class today, which should keep her price high. Her debut on the lawn last time was very impressive. She came from the clouds with a thunderous stretch kick despite being behind a slow pace. This filly can mow and the class hike makes sense.
Race 11: 1 1/16 Mile. Sam F. Davis S. Stakes
#2 Treaty of Rome (6/1) – This colt showed real guts last time trying to rundown a lone leader that set a slow pace. That race looks to set him up perfectly for this spot and he should like the added distance. The Conductor sees him getting an ideal trip sitting right behind a contested pace and getting the first jump on the closers. 4/1 or better would be a treat.
1 1/18 Mile. (Turf) Alw 53000n1x
#4 Heathguard (10/1) – This gelding ran a big race despite a poor trip off the bench last time. He made an early wide move into a quick pace and sustained his bid for 2nd. The Conductor really liked how he dug in and didn’t let the horse to his outside with momentum pass him late. With a more favorable trip today, the Conductor thinks he has a big shot.
