Rec’d an email today asking: “WHERE IS FRANTIC CITY?” (Yes, it was in UPPERCASE. Srsly.)
Sir, here is Frantic City…
As well, the zany announcer there in the 1990s (Mr. Larry Lederman) used to refer to the place as “Frantic City” over the public-address system, perhaps in an allusion to the posted cartoon.
We can only hope you got to enjoy the real place (track abbrev. ‘Atl’) before the likes of Donnie Trump & His Syndicate Boyszzz (pre-Nucky Thompson) got hold of it. Magnificent. Especially the turf course in the shank of the evening. Thank you!

Nocturnal Submission: Going to Race 2 at Evangeline (7:05 p.m. EDT / 4:05 p.m. PDT), and it’s #5 Max the Knife, #9 Strike It and #8 Badger Barry comprise the Bonkers Trizactor Box. …Then in the fifth there (8:20 / 5:20), #8 Yukon Bandit and #12 Peaberry form your Bonkers Perfecta Box. …All action all the time at Opelousas, La., and that includes Race 6 (8:45 / 5:45) for the dynamic duo of #11 Dynapac and #2 Mighty Elk; and even 50-1 #8 Hawk Walker is not out of it. …Also, Race 8 (9:35 / 6:35) finds #12 Alabama Wildcat in with a chance. …In the seventh at Fonner (5:24 / 2:24), #4 Ghost Vapors and #3 Aqab can upset. …Graded stakes action at the ’Gate (7:25 / 4:25) for #4 Positive Response and #5 Sanger Silver. …Doozie in store in the penultimate race at the Mountain (10:20 / 7:20), where #1 Geri’s Kid and #2 Gage Park are no worse than the odds-on morning-line choice. …
Whew. Take a deep breath. Too much horseys sometimes. Even Pep Guardiola had to step away from the Barca juggernaut.
