Sorry, Californians. Nothing to do with Prop 19.
Rather, you can blame the eyesnot-encrusted, bedheaded and late-rising Boys in the Backroom for skipping out on you this morning.
Yes, to their horror (and perhaps your own), their tardiness made the first at Calder a nonstarter for the Pick of the Day page.
Betting Line as follows:
#1 Winaway 5-2
#6 Concertos Song 3-1
#5 Jazzaholic 5-1
Tote odds:
#1 Winaway 5-1
#6 Concertos Song 8-1
#5 Jazzaholic 8-1
‘Concerto wins, $19 up top. Winaway completes the too-easy $147 (for $2) perfecta. Favored #9 Beat the Freeze, 3-5 on the last flash, and sans V6 Betting Line odds, runs third. Ah, well.
Moral of the story: DIY! Do it yourself! Don’t rely on these malingering slackers, these Boys in the Backroom!
Maybe.
