Nocturnal Submission: Freestanding Edition

Upon review (not further!)…

For the record, for Saturday, July 13, 2013…

Nocturnal Submission: Shooting for the W. Va. moon in Chas. Town 2 (7:43 p.m. EDT / 4:43 p.m. PDT) via the Bonkers Boxers #7 Chat Royale and #10 Majestic Indeed. …EvD 9 (10 / 7) is a stakes race! How’d it sneak in here? #8 Smoke It Right is at no great disadvantage. …Hello, Tulsa! FMT 9 (10:20 / 7:20) has #8 Yearlong Fever as a live longshot in a 4-furlong sprint; 4 fine furlongs! How is that possible! …It stays on the turf in the second at Indiana (6:25 / 3:25), and #9 Anyfivestarwilldo is generally OK. …Those crazy kids at Marquis! Race 7 there (11:35 / 8:35) has one of those 9-1 morning line (9-1!) specials in #7 Barramoon; also, #6 Candlestick Jack, priced at a more conventional 8-1 on your morning line, stacks up well in this one. …Raining all up and down the U.S. east of the Mississippi, so Mnr 2 (7:25 / 4:25) might not stay on the grass; if it does defy the local elements, then #7 This Is Eliza and #10 Breeze Bayou can upset. …Likewise at PennNat, the fifth there (7:49 / 4:49): #7 Jonestown Jonesy. …Ruidoso now, Race 6 (5:10 / 2:10), in which #4 Bonnies Princess has the bona fides. …

OK. Exhale. Too much horseys sometimes. Sometimes.

As well, we take all challenges seriously. Some of them, especially the bright shiny ones with the instant payoffs.

Top examples of impermanence:

Nomar Garciaparra, Tony Gwynn, Kevin Brown, David Cone, Juan Gonzalez, Paul O’Neill…

Yes, someday Buster Posey, Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout & all the rest will be consigned to the spit-out chewing tobacco of diamond history. But not yet. And at least they made it!

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Ciao!
