In some other life, we would all possess the versatility of one Mr. James Franco.

Who wouldn’t want to? Dude gets nominated for an Academy Award, still can pander to the great unwashed by appearing on a daytime soap opera and, to top it off, is a Ph.D. candidate at an Ivy League school. This would be like excelling at wagering on the hurdles in England, kicking it late at night at some cowboy Quarter Horse track, then cleaning-up on both surfaces at Keeneland or Swampatoga.

Most of us, though, will be destined to our bit parts in the drama, a la a Steve Buscemi or Jeanne Moreau, carving out niche specialties in certain types of races or situations. And that’s OK too.

Here’s the free ones…

Aqueduct 5, 8, 9
Gulfstream 5, 6, 7

Rundown
Laurel 6, 7, 9
Tampa 2, 5, 9

See you again real soon. Best wishes!
