Sleepwalking through a lull in the tournament

FIFA withdrawal. Jonesing for some fútbol. Trembling. Feet shaking uncontrollably. Help.

Less than 24 hours to go. Light me a stogie, I need a hit. Hit up the dosage!

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 2, 4, 9, 10
Los Alamitos Thoroughbreds (!) 4, 5, 6, 7

Pay-side:

Arlington 1, 3, 8
BelTerra 2, 3, 5, 7
Delpark 3, 6, 7
Ellis Park 3, 7
Louisiana 1, 2
Lone Star 1, 2, 5, 7, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Del 7 on the pay-side. LRC 7 on the free page.

A couple of nonfavorites to consider in Cby 9: #10 B J’s Angel, #11 Somerset Swinger.

Race 10 there, and it’s your FIFA Quadruple Stumper of the Evening: #10 Command the Lead, #1 Sheer Trick, #3 Ragged Edge, #7 Mack’s Tiger Paw.

Yesterday’s Activity: This leaves two Young’uns & two Oldstersz for your Wimby Gentlemen’s Semis. Canada #1 alwayszzz. William Shatner was not wrong! Nor was Paul Anka!
