What Ever Happened to Class, Anyway?

Ashlee Simpson as Roxie Hart. Expectations were low, but she acquitted herself (!) nicely.

She has that dimpled look, a little ditzy in this role. Looked at her all night and wondered if she and Michelle Beadle had been separated at birth. In his role as Amos Hart, Drew Carey was not stretched at all, except through his considerable girth.

Free ones: Rundown…

Saratoga Race Course 2, 4, 7, 9, 11
Calder / Gulf Crc 5, GP 2, GP 6, GP 7
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 10

Pay-side: Today…

Arlington 3, 5, 6, 7, 10
Ellis Park 1, 6
Louisiana 7, 9
Monmouth 8
Woodbine 2, 7, 10

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Sar 9, the Grade I Diana, is on the free page.

Uh-oh. Vaunted Triple Threat Horsey status bestowed upon #6 Doinghardtimeagain in Dmr 4, the Fleet Treat.

The obvious pair dominates Sar 10, the Grade II Jim Dandy.

Trying for a small surprise in Delpark 6 via #7 Southwest Lady. (Yes, the morning-line fave is a serious danger in that one, so beware.)

Looks OK for #3 Renee’s Passion in ArP 8, the CTBA Breeders Oaks.

Here’s the well-fancied #9 Whata Friend in EvD 8.

Nightly Triple Stumper (Stakes Edition) in the next race there: #4 Sweetwater Sky, #2 Cajun Sensation, #12 Le Gris.

Back to the legitimate guys in NP 5: #7 Ten Thirty.

Next race there, longshot-fave bustup courtesy of #3 Devil’s Classic, #7 Go Max.

Fourth-choice on the morning line might do it in NP 8, the Count Lathum: #2 For Cash (!).

Crazy stuff in Pha 7, the Power by Far: #3 Fear the Facelift, #7 Shoplift.

Your Grade III Ohio Derby is Race 7 at Thistle: #3 Braveman.

Yesterday’s Activity: Summer, no time to ponder. Better to focus on the coming conquests. Until later…
