Hey! Where’s the lede?

To paraphrase the Fab Four: “We’ve got nothing to say, but it’s okay”.

Free ones:

Rundown
Belmont 1, 5, 7
Hollypark 1, 7, 8

Wild at Elmont; mild at Inglewood.

Pay-side:

Rundown
River 1, 2, 5
Woodbine 5, 6, 7
Arlington 6, 8, 9
Louisiana 3, 6, 9
Colonial 4, 7, 8

For the second day running now, all these are good; will the results follow? In the words of the immortal Dr. Hunter S. Thompson: “Buy the ticket, take the ride”.

WMF Report:

Speed
Belmont 6f
Chas. Town 4½f, 6½f
Evangeline 6f
River 6f

Rally (Honourable Mention)
Woodbine 7f (WMF 28)

Nocturnal Submission: Straight-up single call in Race 5 at Chas. Town (9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT); #2 Harlan’s Pepper to spice things up! …No down time there, since the sixth (9:27 / 6:27) finds another solid solitary longshot, #6 Dynamic Dan. …Over to Evangeline’s ninth (10:16 / 7:16), where #6 No Ordinary Girl and #9 Farce Ide can outrun their inflated morning-line odds. …

Thank you. Take care.
