Ren & Stimpy. This was OK stuff. Between the top grammar and the frequent use of Dvořák in the score, this was a cartoon for the cultured set. Genius manqué. Bobby Fischer, Nikola Tesla, John Kennedy Toole.

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Delpark 8 is the lone added-money event on the North American calendar now, and it’s on the pay-side.

Yesterday’s Activity: Damn you, Ned Reldem, Esq.! Showin’ us up! Firin’ up Amerika!

Latest hotdog move from this guy was Race 4 at the Belmont yesterday. Public touters figured since top firster was 2½-1 Fair Odds on the V6 Betting Line and the second-choice on the Betting Line was a far-out 5-1 Fair Odds, there was no need to consider any other firsters; perhaps the experienceds would do OK.

But leave it to Ned Reldem, Esq. He applied his Protocols of the Reldem of Zion to Race 4, and found firster Summerdale in with a chance via a connections-percentage line of 23pc/13pc/33pc.

Mazel, Maz Jobrani! He gets the $56 shocker and we are left holding the bag of poor wagers for which we paid retail. Retail! Is it too late for ritual circumcision?

Damn you, Ned Reldem, Esq. At the same time, Allah bless you. Allahu akbar, you and your crazy-big Ashkenazi brain. We get the quick-twitch muscle, and you get the crazy-big Ashkenazi brain. Allahu akbar.

Back to the secular world now for a near-miss via Wednesday’s Colonial Penn Double Stumper of the Night, specifically the great Lady’s M V P, 17-1 on the toteboard and longtime leader of the seventh at Portland. Portlandia!

No good with the winner being a leper outcast on all our measures. Boo! Boo!
