The Conductor needed to leave Ohio asap. Another garbage performance at Mahoning Valley Tuesday has the passengers up in arms. He needs to get back to warm weather and turf racing, where the tape don’t lie. The real racing week starts on Wednesday at Iron Bets, everyone knows that. Skip.
Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.MC 16000
#1 Float On By (3/1) – This filly set a fair pace for this level last time going longer. She was rundown late, but now cuts back 1/16th of a mile and takes the blinkers off. Trainer Arnaud Delacor is 11/30 this year, with a whopping +$1.78 ROI this year removing blinkers. The Conductor expects Float On By to run a career best effort today.
Race 5: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 20000
#2 God With Us (6/1) – This colt is steadily improving and ran a solid 4th last time sprinting on the dirt. Now he switches to the turf, the surface he’s bred for. His lone turf race to this point was against miles tougher in a stakes race. This is his first chance to mow vs reasonable competition. We’ll see if God is with us or against us in the 5th.
Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Clm 16000n2L
#5 Permed (4/1) – This filly’s price should float up a bit for a small barn. As far as the tape is concerned, she was best in her last race at this level. She was checked on the first turn and was stuck behind horses deep in the stretch. Permed showed grit, finishing with interest and galloping out in front of the pack. 4/1 or better today is fair for the Conductor.
