Your Saturday Stakes Sweep, Part the Second: Jan. 29, 2011

Why Portland Meadows? Why Everest? Because they’re there.

Yet internal dæmons persist!

In the sixth at Portland we find the Gov.’s Speed H.. Time to stab with a pair of potential upsetters in the form of #5 Getrdonegotrdid and the appropriately named #1 Stealth Attack. Incoming!

Another longshot duo to consider in the next (seventh) race there, the PM Oax. It’s #7 Kate Winsalot (hubba hubba!) and #8 Legendary Madame on the scene.

Extra for experts: It’s the big race of the season at the Sam Houston, the Connally Turf, the eighth on tonight’s card. We attempt, perhaps impudently or even imprudently, to defeat your morning-line favorite with a box-set trio of #7 Stachys, #3 And Music Came and #1 Fifteen Love.

On that note, we must wind up rooting for a victory by Andrew Murray early tomorrow morning in the Australia’s tennis match.

Thank you, and take care.
