Today’s Stakes Pageantry: No good today at Belmont, no turf, but wait till Race 10 there, the Grade II Brooklyn, and #2 Keep Me Informed, #5 Percussion and #6 Fast Falcon are the main contenders. We think.

Hello, Alberta! Hello, Northlandsz! It looks good for chalky #3 Claresmiezie in the seventh, the Wild Rose.

Yesterday’s Activity: Continued OK at Belmont. Hope you keep having ’em!

Nocturnal Submission: Wild this evening in Minehaha, Race 9 (11:24 p.m. EDT / 8:24 p.m. PDT) for #9 Musical Deputy or maybe even #11 Nice to Meet Me. …If it stays on the turf, EvD 7 (9:10 / 6:10) has #3 Strikin Silhouette and #4 Kissin Star with better chances than their morning-line odds suggest. …Another Double Stumper comes in Exhibition/Victoria/Nootka&rsqou;s sixth (12:45 a.m. Saturday / 9:45) courtesy of #5 Whosecash, #2 Kaching Cash. …Northlands 6 (10:15 / 7:15) can be won on the double-fave elimination (!) by #5 Sunny Break. …Comebacking longshot #9 Madam Izzy is at no great disadvantage in Rui 9 (6:28 / 3:28). …

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Bye-bye.
