In our neverending search for the ideal manic pixie dream girl, we throw this adorable entry into the mix:

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 4, 5, 9
Calder 6, 8, 10
Santa Anita 1, 2, 4

Pay-side: Today…

Keeneland 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9
Woodbine 4, 5, 6, 7, 9
Laurel 2, 3, 7, 9
Hawthorne 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9
Remington 1, 4, 6, 8
Retama 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: The ninth at the Turf Paradise is the Bienvenidos Stakes, though rumour has it that Gov. J. Brewer is looking to rename it as the “Welcome-Unless-You’re-Somewhat-Dark-Skinned-In-Which-Case-We’ll-Need-To-See-Your-Papers” Stakes. Hmmmm. A win by #5 Streakin’ Mohican will only add to her consternation!

Race 5 at the PennNat is the Ligature, and #9 Interrogate and #1 Puddy de Luca (not to be confused with that self-injecting ex-ballplayer Lo Duca) can tie up the Bonkers-type Perfector Box.
