BBC — Brasil Beats Chile?

Squeaky-bum time! Going to Kicks from the Spot A.E.T. (after extra time) in your Brasil-Chile Round of 16 showdown. FIFA!

Again, these are not penalties at the end to decide this. These are truly Kicks from the Spot. Kindly note that vital distinction. Tyvm. Best wishes.

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 6
Calder / Gulf Calder 7, Gulf 4, 5, 8
Santa Anita 1, 2, 3, 7, 9

Pay-side: Today…

Arlington 3, 7, 8, 9
BelTerra 2, 5, 7, 8
Churchill 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
Delpark 1, 2, 3, 4, 7
Louisiana 7, 8
Lone Star 3, 4, 9
Monmouth 3, 8
Woodbine 4, 6

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

On the pay-side it’s AP 9, CD 7 & 8.

Should be good for #2 Untapable in Bel 4. Same goes for #6 Green Mask in Bel 8, the Manila. (Manila, what a racehorse!) Likewise #2 Riposte in Bel 9.

Continued obvious horseys outside New York. In CD 6, #1 Skyway also seems too good. Similarly, it’s #4 Wildcat Red in GP 9.

However, we sidestep the morning-line fave in SA 5, going instead for #6 Moone’s My Name, #1 Stormy Lucy. But in Race 6 there, it’s your top two morning-line faves who appear too strong: #1 Declassify, #4 Sahara Sky.

Then at Woodbine, Race 8: #1 Unhindered.

Good one at Arapahoe, Race 8, and #12 Lookingoodinatux and #9 Vsaidno can do it.

Over to Pleasanton now for #9 Unusual Way in Race 8.

Live longshot in Prm 7 is #9 Dream Spinner. Same sort of randomness takes over Race 8, with #2 Russellin and #4 Smack Smack alive for some kind of honours.

OK. Exhale. Too much horseys. Sometimes.

Yesterday’s Activity: KING OF THE NETCAPPER BULLIESZ (BULLIESZ!) special for your finale at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, Calif.

Bonkersmate Mister Wonka, 12-1 on your morning line and 28-1 in real life, went gate-to-wire to win by 2¾ lengths at $58-even.

Over to Tejas (Tejas!) for Race 9 at Lone Star, won by top-touted Mi Tormento at $18.20 up top.

Mi Tormento, 12-1 on your morning line but bet-down to 8-1, ground out the win by a desperate head over the 2-1 fave who also was the top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis horsey in your field. The show-horse also qualified on LifeLiner, and the exacta paid $77.60, the trifecta, $290.40, both for $2.

Up North now to Woodbine-Etobicoke Int’l. for the aptly named Canadian Lady in Race 5. Canadian Lady, top of your V6 Betting Line at Fair Odds of 2½-1, was 8-1 on your morning line. She won by a dirty neck at $28.10. The 6-1 runner-up was OK on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, and your exactor returned $201.90.

As always, hope you had ’em!
