El hermano guitarro

Welcome to your Del Mar 2013…

Free ones: Rundown…

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 1, 7, 8, 9

Pay-side: Today…

Delpark 5, 7, 9
Suffolk 3, 8
Woodbine 5, 7

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Dmr 9 is on the free page. Appears wild.

The opposite is true (read: race is mild) in the earlier division of that race, Race 6.

Prohibitive choice in AsD 7, the Jeffrey (!): #6 Stormin Monarcho.

Big doings this evening in Shelbyville, Ind., home to the sharp bettors, inaccurate morning lines or both.

Race 4 is the Carol Brady, and it could come down to the pairing of #3C Dreamin Big and #5 Yeardley.

Race 6 is the Emerson Fittipaldi, in which #9 Flashy Kid has a longshot opportunity.

Bonkers-type scenario in Race 7, the First Lady: the appropriately named #6 Indy Anna Anna, #8 Blade’s Edge.

Single call in Race 8, the Guv’nor’s: #3 Alley Bar.

Yesterday’s Activity: Tuesday Sniping. What are you going to do? Sometimes it feels quick and responsive like a Kel Tec 9. Other weeks, it’s a blunderbuss from the Revolution. Yesterday, though, a 9mm pistol. Bang! Bang! Fire! What are you going to do?

How ’bout that Race 7 at Indiana last night? How often do you tout a two-horsey perfecta box and those horseys finish first-last. Hard to do! Crazy that the horse that finished first, Boy’s Brother Bob, was 8-1 on the morning line and went off at 19-10. What?! Thanks a lot, Shelbyville! Thanks a lot!

Then in the finale there, a King of the NetCapper Bulliesz special, courtesy of Pucker Up Phyllis, 15-1 on the morning line and 5-1 on the tote board. Hoo-boy. Bad morning lines, Indiana, bad morning lines. We know, we know, you’re worried about Dwight Freeney enjoying the Opening Day at Del Mar this time. We know.

As always, Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish, this time led by Prettyprettyplease in FE 2, 8-1 on the morning line and exactly that price when the bell rang. Good job! Could not run down the winner, who was not a LifeLiner qualifier. Sorry!

Now for the pièce de résistance. Keystone Racetrack, known afterwards as Philadelphia Park, known afterwards and currently as PARXXX. Jefferson Airplane, later known as Jefferson Starship, later known as Starship. Radio stations nowadays are the same. What ever happened to call-letters? Very bad.

Anyway, Keystone, Race 6, one race after the touted Mam Bird ran a casual fourth. Race 6…

Sometimes it fires like a Kel Tec 9mm pistol, and it’s a clean kill, a one-tap. You see that Big Feat (!) is the top tout, 15-1 on the morning line, and three times that in real life. This time, a winner, by a clear 2½ lengths on the turf. Win mutuel of $97.20.

Second-touted Freelander, morning line odds of 10-1 and actual odds of 13-1, completed the winning Bonkers Exacta Box: $1,126.80.

How was your day? Ah, even without any scores, at least we continue to roam the earth. But don’t look cross-eyed at people when you’re in Fla. You may not be long to roam the earth in that case!
