Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but Man City can put a firm hand on the Premiership title trophy with a home win this afternoon over hapless Aston Villa. With two games remaining, the Mancunians are in full command of their destiny — two wins would obviously freeze out Liverpoodle, but a win and a draw for City also would be sufficient. Looks good. And 48 hours after watching his Reds team collapse in the last 9 mins. against Crystal Palace, Luis Suarez is reportedly still sobbing convulsively into his jersey.

Yesterday’s Activity: Always good to hear from our plutogarch/olicrat buddie Ned Reldem, Esq., from the lush and rolling hills of Loudoun/Falls Church Counties, Va. His latest communiqué reads:

LifeLiner-approved, and this is why you need the V6 at home! Race 4 Mountain. #1 scratched and #1A top of the LifeLiner [Speed Column analysis]. Went off at 22-1 and crushed. I had it.

All right, all right, ya Northern Virginia aristocrat! Take it easy. It’s not like this extra $47-and-change (or any multiple thereof) is going to change your life as a Member of the 1 Percent! Take it easy.

Then again, it’s always good to get a stroke of the ego, a boost to the confidence, whether you’re a hobo hopping freight trains or one of ’em Flash Boys gaming the financial system and putting the rest of us at a disadvantage.

Looking at Ned’s Tuesday Night triumph, we see that, indeed, this was a coupled entry, originally, 3-1 on the morning line. One of the horseys in the entry scratched, obviously the one that the mopes, including the track oddsmaker, thought had the far better chance to win; otherwise, how could the remaining horsey in the coupled entry be allowed to go off at 22-1 at post time!

From a V6 Betting Line standpoint, the race was contentious, before the scratch of the #1 horse and after. Before the race, the line was allotted as follows: Fair Odds of 3½-1, 4-1, 4-1, 5-1 on the top four horseys on the Betting Line. Contentious race, and you can tell at a glance, one look at the Betting Line.

After the scratch of the #1 horse, the Betting Line changed a little, but it retained its contentious shape: Fair Odds of 2½-1, 3-1, 3½-1, 5-1.

What was left of the original coupled entry, the #1A Confident Lady, was still on top of the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, 95.

The Mountaineer faithful got bamboozled. Confident Lady maintained daylight from start to finish, winning by 5¼ and paying $47.60 up top.

Good job, Ned. We salute you.

Now, why can’t we take credit for this one. Mainly, the 3-1 odds on the morning line are way too low to even entertain that there’ll be some value on the win end. Horses at 3-1 on the morning line just don’t go off at 22-1 with any predictable regularity.

In this instance, the scratch of the entrymate was huge, and Ned, as always, is right: this is why you have to have the V6 at home, ready to put out the late-scratch, ready to see that the 3-1 on the morning line is indeed 22-1 in real life, on the toteboard.

Of course, as one of ’em ambulance attorneys chasing ‘deevorce dollars’, Ned Reldem, Esq., rarely gets one put over on him. ’gratsz, Ned, as if you really need it.
