First Post, Part II: Saturday, May 7, 2011

On with the rest of the show…

For this part of our existence, anyway, we tend to bring the hard hats and the lunch pails: We do what we do. It is our milieu, our comfort zone.

Aha! The free ones, then:

Rundown
Belmont 4, 7, 9
Calder 7, 9, 11
Hollypark 6, 9, 11

Rained off the sod at Calder, but Hollypark looks outstanding in every way. Hit that ninth race today and you’ll be in Fat City — Derby or no.

Pay-side:

Rundown
Churchill 10, 11, 12
Woodbine 2, 9, 10
Pimlico 7, 10, 11
Tampa 5, 7, 10
Arlington 4, 5, 11
Louisiana 6, 7, 10

Solid stuff all across the continent for your First Saturday in May.
