Rite-Aid Store, Studio City, Calif., Corner of Vineland Ave. & Ventura Blvd., Friday, Sept. 13

For Mongoliansz (Mongoloidsz?!) such as ourselves, this means pomade, 55-gallon drums of pomade. Vitapointe! Alberto-VO5! Not just a Breeders’ Cup Sponsor, but an integral part of our daily personal grooming! Slick!

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10
Calder / Gulf Gulf 2, Gulf 7
Short-Segment Barretts (a k a Fairplex Park née Pomona Fair) 6

Pay-side: Today…

Arlington 4, 9
Churchill 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
Golden Gate 3, 7, 8
Louisiana 2, 3, 4, 5, 8
Monmouth 6, 10
Woodbine 3, 5, 9, 11

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Bel 7 on the free page.

WO 5 on the pay-side.

Live third-choice on the morning line via #5 Hi Fashioned in Fpx 10, the Barreplex Juvy.

Giving an outside chance — in the face of an odds-on choice — to #3 Irish Mission in WO 8, the Grade I Northern Dancer.

Otherwise, who can defeat #4 Wise Dan in the 10th, the Xerox WO Mile?

Yesterday’s Activity: The usual smattering. This segment loses much of its vim, vigor and vitriol when Ned Reldem, Esq., isn’t part of the proceedings. He’s next scheduled for limited action on Thursday. Until then, no one will be around to gin-up this here space. Pity. Hopefully the Gods Of The North American Parimutuels will have mercy.
