Looming Menacingly in the Background, The Bluff!

Sorry, Southern California street-name loversz! Of course ristorante Il Pastaio is on Cañon (pronounced “CAN-non”, like the weaponry; the Anglos blithely ignore the tilde, even though it appears on all the signage; what a world we live in, what a world…)

Free ones: Rundown…

Saratoga Race Course 2, 5, 7

Pay-side: Today…

Delpark 4, 5
Suffolk 7, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Sar 9 is an added-money event, and #3 Mischief Maker is a third-choice on your morning line who also has to bear the burden of being one of those vaunted Triple Threat Horseys. Uh-oh.

Yesterday’s Activity: As always, Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish, this time led by Bonkersmate Barney Rebel, 20-1 on your morning line and 32-1 in real life. Barney Rebel ran the even race his LifeLiner array suggested (84-89-84), and stayed on for second behind the 2-1 fave, who was not sanctioned by LifeLiner. What a life! What a LifeLiner! Thanks a lot, Diamond of Blue! Thanks a lot!

One good one at, of all places, Golden Gate Fair via Kitty Marie, 15-1 on your morning line and 12-1 on the toteboard. The 9-5 fave was the runner-up, OK on LifeLiner, and the exacta paid $94.
