His Prayers Have Been Answered

Feast of the Ascension today. Yes, Her, but also the Feast of the Ascension of St. Cesc of Fabregas, who now has been bodily assumed into the paradise the faithful call Camp Nou.

Free ones:

Rundown
Saratoga Race Course 5, 6, 7

One of those days that gives the Ancient Spa its alternate nickname: Swampatoga. Hey, at least it came on a Monday!

Pay-side:

Rundown
Suffolk 7, 8, 9
Delpark 2, 5, 6

Tame stuff here, too.

WMF Report:

Speed

Nocturnal Submission: Could be worth the wait to stay up for the finale at the Mountain (10:45 p.m. EDT / 7:45 p.m. PDT). In it, #3 Gremalata has bona fide upset credentials in what looks like the equine equivalent of a random-number generator. …Well before that, in Race 4 at PennNat (7:13 / 4:13), #3 Sweet Mindi will be looking to score for Pam Dawber fans the world over. …Then in the sixth (8:04 / 5:04), #5 Red Sierra can post the surprise, as can #3 Cloud of Smoke. …Finally, in the eighth (8:53 / 5:53), we try a crazy trizactor boxer trio of #2 L’Anch, #6 Sweet Yulianna and #8 Lovely Sonya Dor. …

Thank you. Goodbye. Best wishes.
