Dishon. Bob Filner holding San Diego financial hostage via conditional surrender. Weiner still out there; De Blasio & Quinn leave him to rot. Braun issues apology; hardworkers like K. Gibson & Dick Vitale outraged. Still time to get some sinning in: Yom Kippur falls on Sept. 14 this calendar year 2013 A.D./C.E.

Free ones: Rundown…

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Remington 8 on the pay-side.

The Ballerina on a Friday? Looks too strong for the obvious pairing.

Going for a second-choice on your morning line in Assiniboia 3, the Debutante: #4 Regal Silver.

Another strong horsey appears in Exhibition Park Race 4, the Sales: #5 Andallthatitmeans.

Two races later there, it’s the filly division of that same race, and #3 Irish Lyric has a possibility to upset.

Yesterday’s Activity: The Ancient Spa coming through via the added-money event: Vitoria Olimpica in the third, 4½-1. What are you going to do?

Back-to-back bet-downs in Delpark 5 & 6: Shanghai Daddy, 2½-1, and Just Got In, 4-1, respectively.

One good one on your afternoon, that in the fifth at Golden Gate, thanks to Bonkersmate Miss Nikki J, 12-1.
