Only in La-La Land…only

Oh, really? What if she’s nothing more than a (silicone — silly cone?) boobie prize?

Yes, and when the California Hiway Patrol pulls her over, they are certain to request, ‘License, registration and Botox, ma’am…’

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Saratoga 4 on the free page.

Yesterday’s Activity: After years of wandering in the desert, dodging angry, misguided-flying missiles and scurrying like roaches from disproportionate ground offensives, here we are! How ya’ doin’ over there? Well, that’s good!

Delpark 2 found top-touted Juliet’s Promise winning by 3¾ lengths at $18.80 straight.

’Juliet, 8-1 on the morning line, was second-best on the conventional V6 Betting Line at Fair Odds of 3½-1; her LifeLiner Speed Column rating was a sufficient 85. The 19-10 race fave, also OK on LifeLiner, completed the $81 exacta in a nine-horse field.

First Bonkersmate Tru Greek was your Metaxa Seven-Star performer of the day in Race 6 there.

Tru Greek, fifth-best on the Betting Line and without Fair Odds, nonetheless came out respectably in a low-rated LifeLiner Speed Column array. At 12-1 on the morning line, Tru Greek was sent off at 10¢ shy of 14-1 and ground out a 1-length win at $29.80 up top.

Elsewhere in that race, top-touted Mount Coronet, 10-1, completed your winning $216 Bonkers Exacta Box.

Honourable mention in Suffolk 8 to sole-touted March Back to Me, 12-1.

However, in the finale there, it was sole-touted Wallula Bluffs, $15.80 to win, coming through in a KING OF THE NETCAPPER BULLIESZ special.

Bet-down severely from a 15-1 morning line, ’Wallula Bankhead was one of three LifeLiner Speed Column qualifiers in a wild-open race. The place-horse was one of those qualifiers, and the exacta paid $92.

As always, hope you had ’em!
