Nocturnal Submission: Strong opener at Chas. Town (7:15 p.m. EST / 4:15 p.m. PST) for #6 Sharp Bourbon, with #1A P K S Carmel Kelly providing the literal chaser. …Delta, Race 2 (7:12 / 4:12), and #2 Atthebuzzer can beat ’em. …Later there, in the fourth (8:08 / 5:08), #4 Michael Schumacher is the Formula 1 hunch play over similarly strong #7 Pavedwithprecocity. …

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye.
