All right, all right, ya latke-inhalersz! Skip the applesauce but slather on the sour cream.

We’ll all dance the horah. Light the Hanukkiah. All that wackiness. L’chaim!

Free ones: Rundown…

Fair Grounds 6, 7, 12
Hawthorne 2, 7, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Pay-side coverage of Races 7 & 12 at Fair Grounds. Have at ’em if you prefer La.-bredsz. Also for hire is Hawthorne 7.

On the free-side here, you might take a gander at Fair Grounds’s eighth, the Sprint, in which the comebacking #6 Su Casa G Casa can play a positive role.

Another added-money longshot to consider is in Race 3 at Golden Gate, the Gold Rush. There, #2 Condiment might be able to catch-up. Hoo-boy.

Wow. Must be Big-Balloon Stakes Saturday or something, because here’s #7 Dat Red Cat in the eighth at Retama, the My Dandy Tejas (Tejas!) Stallion.

Nocturnal Submission: Going crazy in the fifth at Golden Gate (5:49 p.m. EST / 2:49 p.m. PST): #6 Just Let Me Finish and #3 Terrella comprise the Bonkers-type situation. …Take the conductor in finale at the Chas. Town (11:03 / 8:03); for the English-only crowd, that’s #5 Cobrador; as well, #4 Shamss can do it. …Mountain 3 (7:50 / 4:50) finds #8 Captain Bob Jo Jr. ready to lead at the wire. …

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Take care now.
