Father & Dog-ter: Lord Stanley’s Pup!

Yo! Happy Father’s Day!

Thirteen-year-old female pug-nosed palooka. Still snapping, still yapping. As the dinner bowl is laid down for her, she hits at it reflexively, like a centerman in the faceoff circle. Allah bless her!

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 5, 8
Calder / Gulf Calder 3, 7, 8, Gulf 4, 7
Santa Anita 6

Pay-side:

Arlington 9
BelTerra 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Churchill 2, 7, 9
Golden Gate 2, 3, 9
Louisiana 7
Lone Star 3, 7, 8, 9
Monmouth 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12
Woodbine 5, 7, 8, 11

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Mth 10 on the pay-side, just like WO 7 and BTP 7.

Outstandingly wide-open in EmD 9. Sidestepping the first two morning-line choices with this quality quartet: #3 Jebrica, #1 Why Not Be Perfect, #8 Shooting Jacket, #2 Dontmesswithkitten. Wild.

Should be OK, though, for #3 Daring Kathy, the chalky-chalk in GP 6.

Also looking promising is #4 Ring Weekend in Mth 11.

Back to the odds-on chalk via #2 We Miss Artie in WO 9. However, an upset looms in the next race there through #6 Wild Catomine.

Yesterday’s Activity: No good, Chollie. A disgrace of utter despair, abject desolation and total perditions. Just like Uruguay and Engerland (Eng-er-land!) in the fútbol. Forza Italia! Super Mario going to the Arse!
