The Tunnel of L’oeuf…Nothing for the Arse

Engaging in the practice of poor sleep hygiene for this. Ugh. The Gaffer’s 1,000th game at the Arse F.C. ends in a humiliating defeat to the Special Ones of Chelski, 1,000-nil. Ta-ta, title! No good, Arsène. No good.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 3, 7, 8
Gulf 4, 8, 11
Santa Anita 5, 7

Pay-side: Rundown…

Fair Grounds 8
Golden Gate 7
Hawthorne 8
Laurel 5, 9
Oaklawn 1, 3, 5
Sunland 6, 7, 8, 9, 11
Tampa 2, 4, 9, 10, 11
Turfway 4, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Aqu 8 on the free page.

FG 8 on the pay-side.

Uh-oh. #4 Fire With Fire squeaks through as one of ’em Triple Threat Horseys — fourth-choice on the morning line, no less! — in SA 4, the Grade II San Luis Rey.

Somewhat open in Lrl 8, with #8 Swift Warrior not entirely out of it.

Straight-up single call to the appropriately named #8 Solitary Ranger in TP 11, the Grade III Spiral.

Yesterday’s Activity: Some OK ones on the pay-side, including back-to-back jacks in Haw 6 & 7, mutuels of $21.80 and $22.40, 9-1 and 10-1, with the natural double returning a skimpy $151-even — way less than the parlay. Thanks a lot, Chicagoland! Thanks a lot!
