Bye-bye, Buena Vista Chollie…

Greater than Jim Fregosi and Danny Ozark, less than Dallas Green. R.I.P.

Ryno (Sandberg, not Howard) takes over. If Donnie Baseball can do it, so can Ryno. Ryno just needs some horseys under his saddle.

Free ones: Rundown…

Saratoga Race Course 1, 2, 6
Calder 9
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 2, 3, 5, 6

Pay-side: Today…

Arlington 6
Ellis Park 1, 4, 5, 6, 7
Golden Gate 6, 7, 8
Louisiana 3, 9
Monmouth 9
Remington 2, 3, 5, 8
Woodbine 2, 5, 6, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Del Mar 6, the Sandy Blue, was originally on the free page but the longshot scratched out. Instead, #10 Ponchatrain (sic) seems like the proper play now.

Uh-oh. Triple Threat Horsey status conferred upon #5 Smoke Show in AsD 3, the CTHS Sales. Likewise #5 Breezy Point in Cby 8, the John Bullit.

Yesterday’s Activity: A pulse at Del Mar. A bet-down pulse, but a faint heartbeat nonetheless.

Nocturnal Submission: Amazingly, after sifting through all the ashes, no bad ones could be found! Astounding! Go get ’em, Ryno!

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. Later!
