The Final Mission

Godspeed, Atlantis!

zOMG. Thirty years flashing by in the span of a last blastoff. Free ones:

Rundown
Belmont 6, 7, 8
Calder 3, 5, 10
Hollypark 3, 5, 78

Mushy on the East Coast; bettor, beware. Actually quite good this evening in Inglewood.

Pay-side:

Rundown
Monmouth 7, 8, 10
Woodbine 5, 7, 8
Ellis 1, 4, 8
Arlington 3, 7, 8
Louisiana 1, 8, 9
Lone Star 5, 7, 8

No need to indulge at Oceanport, N.J., until the latter stages; same goes for Etobicoke-Rexdale International. Also, today marks our first foray into Ellis for 2011; off the turf there. The other three Central Time Zone offerings are fantastical. Enjoy!

Nocturnal Submission: Going to Assiniboia (where?) for its eighth tonight (11 p.m. EDT / 8 p.m. PDT), and #7 Ancient Symbol has as good a chance as anyone else involved; as well, #6 Quaker Shaker Tony can do better than most suspect. …A roulette-wheel race in the seventh at Fairmount (11:14 / 8:14); there, the ball can land in the slot occupied by #3 Deals Off. …Race 5 at Indiana (8:35 / 5:35) comes before both of the other races; #8 Moon Nistle can wax ’em. …

Thank you. Best wishes.
