Always loved Juliana Hatfield. Here was a cute girl of patrician lineage who got to do what she wanted: rock out. She could have been your typical upper-class wastrel, but she chose to rock out. And it wasn’t gratuitous. Here she is fronting her bygone band Blake Babies with a cover of “Temptation Eyes”.

Free ones: Rundown…

Gulf 2, 7, 8, 9, 10
Sunland 10

Pay-side: Today…

Tampa 5, 9
Turfway 1, 4, 6, 9
Laurel 8
Sam Houston 1
Golden Gate 5
Turf Paradise 7

Never seen so many dead cards in one place on one day.

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Andrew Murray in all his determination and ability outstaring that precious sissie Federr. Murray is being moved by something larger than this world right now, it appears. Nadal at his finest also had it. They are a refreshing antidote to the clinicians and egomaniacs of the tennis world. Think of latter-day Agassi for the same sensation. We also root for the grounded and balanced Li Na to conquer that cheating Azarenka.

Yesterday’s Activity: We turn to the Tampa in the Oldsmar. Florida is currently where the good weather on the continent resides. In Race 7 there on Thursday, a couple of issues were touted, yea, verily, TOUTED. Tout. Tout. Tout. Tout!

Normative Appeal was one of them. That was a $12 winner. The recommended Bonkersmate Megnog indeed completed the winning Bonkers Perzacta Box, $102.80 for $2.

Sadly, that was the end of that.
