Has the terror war…

…now moved to the parking lot?

If so, this guy could certainly write a TV drama about it…

The sort of medieval torture and murder carried out by these DAESH monsters, we haven’t seen its likes in the West for a long, long time now. The norms here have progressed. Progressed.

Who wants to go back to those days? Crusades, Inquisitions, Witch Trials? Just a thought. We’re better than that.

At any rate, back to the audition wars also. We shall see.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 1, 5, 6, 7, 8
Gulfstream Park Proper 2, 4, 5, 9
Santa Anita 3, 4, 7

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Fair Grounds 5, 7
Golden Gate 4, 6
Oaklawn 2, 3, 5, 7
Tampa 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but playoff hockey is eluding the Los Angeles Kingsz, 5 points out of a wildcard spot, and the Philalala Flyersz, 10 points out. A little more than two months remain in the regular season; can these stragglers make up the necessary ground in the standings? Getting going now would be a fine idea, and it starts tonight with Los Angeles visiting Florida, and Philalala hosting the resurgent New York Islanders.

Yesterday’s Activity: Late save at ’Gulf, courtesy of top-touted Joann’s Wildcat, 12-1 on the morning line, 10-1 in real life, top of a contentious-race V6 Betting Line, Fair Odds of 3½-1, complete LifeLiner array of 99-99-96, gate-to-wire winner by 1½ at $22.80 up top in Race 9.

Then in Race 10, it was top-touted Victory Mast finishing second by a dirty neck at 11-1; however, Bonkersmate Comancheria, bet-down to 3-1 from 8-1 on the morning line, won, thereby generating a winning $76.40 Bonkers Exacta Box. As well, the 2 x 2 matrix in Races 9 & 10 yielded the $101.80 daily double. Both exotics mutuels were a little on the stingy side. Too many ‘Pick of the Day’ followers?

Nah. Nevah. Who? Us? Nevah.
