Best wishes, ZAM!

‘Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You’ll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Hey, it works out: It’s the 25th anniversary of the release of Dr. Seuss’s final book.

Also, a good time to pull out that old scriptural chestnut: 1 Corinthians 13:11.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 1, 7, 9
Gulfstream Park Proper 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10
Santa Anita 4, 7, 8, 9

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Fair Grounds 6, 8, 10

Oaklawn 6, 7, 9
Sunland 5, 10
Tampa 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Turfway 4, 8, 9
Turf Paradise 3, 5, 6, 7

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Gulfstream 9, 10, Santa Anita 7, 8, 9 on the free page. On the pay-side it’s Sam Houston 5, 7, Tampa 8, 9, 10, Turf Paradise 7.

Seems open in Gulfstream 11, but #7 Dr No should be able to do it for the Joseph Wiseman fansz.

If the seven months off was beneficial, #8 Sugar Shock should get the candy in Oaklawn 8.

Also one of ’em Triple Threat Horseys: #6 Light One in Santa Anita 5. Ditto #1 Cinco Charlie in Sunland 9.

Yesterday’s Activity: First meal at the relocated go-to milestone restaurant Palm, and what else is better than putting a dry-aged-for-35-days, ruby-red-rare slice of prime New York Strip in your mouth? Still able to savor the simple!
