Nocturnal Submission: Chance in Race 10 at Albuquerque (6:57 p.m. EDT / 3:57 p.m. PDT) for #8 Big Max to buck the bias; if not, #7 Strike a Spider can ride it. …Evangeline, the fourth (8 / 5), and #1 Ruston Kitty can purr. …Later there, it’s the sixth (8:50 / 5:50) for the mile-and-a-half turf marathon! In it, #2 Baby Afleet and #6 K D’s King Kong can last and be first, whatever that means. …Over to the Golden Gate now, Race 7 (7:17 / 4:17), in which #5 Red Deputy can fill in nicely. …Exhibition has a good Race 8 (8:25 / 5:25), with #1 Oscar Award, #2 Lord Henry ready to upset. …Staying in Canada for the 10th at the Marquis (12:50 a.m. Sunday / 9:50): #2 Gabuu, #10 King Cola. …Back to Penna. (where else!) for the sixth at the Presque (7:30 / 4:30); #1 Sweet Cassiopeia and #11 Ariana D are eligible for the black-type. …
