Are you ready for some…Fairplex?

Oops. Not till tomorrow. First off, Pack v. Saintsz, two good-hearted franchises, unlike the Raidersz or Cowpokesz. Thank you!

Free ones: Rundown…

Calder 2, 3, 9

Despite the rainout on the grass, actually quite good, these three, anyway.

Pay-side: Rundown…

Woodbine 5, 6, 8
Arlington 2, 3, 8
Louisiana 2, 8, 10
Turfway 1, 3, 9
Remington 2, 7, 9
Retama 2, 3, 6

Latter half of the Rexdale-Etobicoke Int.’l card is fantastic.

WMF Report: Two-turn alert at the Calder.

Speed
Canterbury 6f
Calder 6f, 1m
Hoosier 6f
Louisiana 6f
Thistle 6f

Rally
Arlington @1m (T) (WMF 12)

More on that Calder 1m: WMF 151 is great, of course, but the much-maligned PCP (a k a “critical point of pace contention”) is 0.88! Hard to do!

Nocturnal Submission: The opener at Chas. Town (7:15 p.m. EDT / 4:15 p.m. PDT) finds #1 Dancing Turk ready to do some quality hoofing against this suspect group. …Over at Evangeline in Race 6 (8:45 / 5:45), #4 Sack O Rocks emerges as a worthy surprise candidate, with #3 Lil Rick’s Gal providing sensible backup. …Two races later (9:35 / 6:35), #6 Cotile Lake has the requisite numbers. …

Thank you. Goodbye.
