First Post: Saturday, April 30, 2011

Posited: This is the best Saturday of racing so far in 2011.

Even if there’s no mathematical formula to determine the validity of the lede, the gut says yup, yup, yup.

Free ones:

Rundown
Frantic City 2, 4, 6
BELMONT 1, 5, 7
Calder 8, 9, 11
Hollypark 5, 8, 9

zOMG! Already a score at the BELMONT. Win or lose, all 12 11 of these are worthy of involvement. Great entertainment value, at the very least!

Pay-side:

Rundown
Churchill 2, 3, 7
Woodbine 3, 8, 10
Pimlico 3, 5, 7
Tampa 4, 5, 7
Hawthorne 8, 9, 10
Lone Star 1, 5, 9

Again, no duds in this bunch. Win or lose, ultimate glory or total perdition, the play’s the thing, Billie Shakes! Or, as Dr. Marc Quixote de Cervantes frequently reminds us, “The road is better than the inn.” Amen.

WMF Report: Beulah 6f registers WMF 280. …Back in play is Chas. Town 4½f, WMF 444. …There’s a WMF 271 at 5½f at Emerald. …zOMG at Hastings, where the 6f has a WMF 191. …WMF 153 at 6f at Turf Paradise. …

Lots of racing. Enjoy some of it today. Best wishes!
