To steal from the postpunk immortals Echo & the Bunnymen: “Bring on the dancing horses, wherever they may roam…”

Races to Handicap & Play

Free ones:

Rundown
Belmont 2, 6, 7

Race 7 is the standout opportunity of your afternoon.

Pay-side:

Rundown
Delpark 6, 7, 8
Suffolk 7, 8, 9
Arlington 4, 8, 9
Colonial 1, 3, 8
Woodbine 5, 7, 8

Open late-triple sequence at Delpark, despite the turf-race washouts; similar situation at Suffolk, but they stay on the sod there. Fantastic all day in Chicagoland — ditto Colonial. King-hell contentious in the finale at Etobicoke-Rexdale. Not bad at all for a Wednesday!

WMF Report:

Speed
Assiniboia 6f
Evangeline 6f, 1m (!)
Presque 6½f
Thistle 6f

Nocturnal Submission: Scramble in the eighth at Evangeline (9:49 p.m. EDT / 6:49 p.m. PDT). In it, #7 Golden Twinkle can grab the win. …In the eighth at Indiana (7:50 / 4:50), the 10-1 morning-line entrymates #1 First of Ten and #1A Finger Tapping merit more regard than that. …In the second at Northalnds (8:27 / 5:27), #1 Fleet Mama should run to her name. …

Bye-bye, so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen.
