First Post: Friday, January 13, 2012

Three the Friday the 13ths for your 2012. Our reward? The end of the world. Kolob awaits.

Free ones:

Aqueduct 6, 8, 9
Gulf 2, 3, 5, 6, 8
Santa Anita 1, 3, 8

’Gulf feels like being a triple-bugboy riding a 79-1 shot in every race on the card, coming home with nothing but dusty gogglesz. Regrets!

Pay-side: The weekend at hand. Today…

Laurel 5, 6, 7
Tampa 5, 6, 8, 10
Fair Grounds 2, 6, 10
Oaklawn 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9
Turf Paradise 4, 7, 8
Turfway 8, 9, 11

Oaklawn opens, and with a bang. Many crazy races on the card. It takes just one…the so-close-yet-so-far one. Roll the timpani! Cue the violins!

Nocturnal Submission: Bonkers Box-type situation developing in Race 8 at Chas. Town (10:28 p.m. EST / 7:28 p.m. PST), and #5 Love to the Max and #8 Good General make up the preferred pairing. …In the finale at Delta (10:49 / 7:49), it’s #4 Hit That Strike looks to swing for the fences. …Race 9 at PennNat (9:17 / 6:17) finds #2 Bint at 15-1 on your morning line, highest in the field. …

Thank you. Best wishes. Bye-bye now.
