Who Ya Got?

Oblahblah v. Rommey (Rommey!), Round 1 tonight. Dipsomaniacs everywhere will be rooting for Kid Barack; he won’t take away their booze. In the other corner, Steuben-Glass-Jaw Mitt (Rommey!) looks to reinstitute Prohibition.

Truly, drinkers everywhere need a lobbying group. If the NRA really fears the Kenyan will forcibly remove the firearms from their cold, dead hands, then who will speak for us imbibers when Rommey (Rommey!) calls on The Angel Moron-i to blow the beer mugs and brandy snifters from our trembling fingers?

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 1, 4, 9
Calder 4, 5, 6, 8

Pay-side: Today…

Delpark 6, 7, 8
Suffolk 1, 5, 6, 8
Laurel 1, 2, 5, 8
Woodbine 4, 5, 7
Remington 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

As always, Okla. City, Okla., provides a Sooner Schooner filled with opportunities.

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Well, there was a stakes race today, at Elmont, N.Y., but it was rained off the turf and reduced to a dismal three-horse contest, so-called. Amazingly, the 3-5 fave ran third, and thus ran last! The 11-10 second-choice won. Tyvm.

WMF Report:

Speed
Belmont 6f
Calder 6½f, 7f
Delpark 6f
Thistle 6f

Nocturnal Submission: Albuquerque, Race 8 (6:02 p.m. EDT / 3:02 p.m. PDT), and #2 John Riggan can run to paydirt. …Nice one at Chas. Town in the sixth (9:44 / 6:44), whereby #1 Cal Corredor and #5 I’m Not a Baby are just as worthy as the rest of these. …

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Next time!
