Bracing for Third…

Grapefruit League 2013 begins Saturday. Speaking of grapefruit, it is tasty and refreshing; however, if gynecomastia (a k a “man boobsz”) are a problem, grapefruit will only exacerbate the issue. Rather, enjoy this citrus delight only sparingly; for proper metabolizing of estrogen, ingest much broccoli, whose indoles keep the female sex hormone at optimal levels. Tyvm.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 3, 9
Gulf 5, 8, 9
Santa Anita 5, 7

Pay-side: Today…

Tampa 8, 9
Laurel 7, 9
Fair Grounds (no, really, Fair Grounds!) 4, 5, 9, 10
Oaklawn 4

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Nothing until the Saturday action. Regretsz!

Yesterday’s Activity: No good on the pay-side, so naturally a couple on the complimentary and special “Hangover Wednesday” edition of “Tuesday Sniping” come through. Not at the pretty and stunning mutuels of the regularly scheduled edition of “Tuesday Sniping” (titled “Uptalking”), but that’s OK.

Standard operating procedure on both: forecast contentious race via the V6 Betting Line, then in with a chance on the LifeLiner. This process is like getting into the playoffs. You determine the entrants, and then anything can happen once there. Teams like Balto. Ravens and L.A. Kings and S.F. Gints can win, once the tournament format comes across as contentious. Keep it in mind!

Nocturnal Submission: Saving the best (maybe) for last (definitely) at PennNat tonight, Race 9 (9:37 p.m. EST / 6:37 p.m. PST). In it, #2 Spikeavellian is not out of it, and neither are #3 Fortunate Run or #7 Goodness Greycious or #4 Bubbalewski. HAWT! (HAWT stands for Have A Wonderful Time, BTW; and BTW stands for By The Way)…SMH (look that one up!). …

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