The eternal Lloyd Cole. You can play this one summer after summer after summer; it holds up well, now some 25 years after its release.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 4, 6, 7
Gulfstream Park Proper 3, 6, 8, 10, 11
Santa Anita 4, 7, 8

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Fair Grounds 1, 9
Golden Gate 2, 8
Hawthorne 9
Sam Houston 7
Laurel 5, 6, 7, 8
Oaklawn 3, 5, 6, 7
Tampa 3, 8, 9
Turfway 2, 3, 4

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but SoCal ice-hockey fanaticsz will be screaming south down the 5 (Southern Californiansz are entitled and alphabetically challenged; they neglect to refer to the Interstate with the proper ‘I’ designation before the number; so what would be called I-5, I-10, I-15 everywhere else in America are known by the much less majestic ‘the 5’, ‘the 10’, ‘the 15’ in sunnie Southern California — hoo-boy) to the Honda Centre in beautiful downtown Anaheim to see the hometown Duxxx host the invading Kingsz. The puck drops at 7 p.m. PST.

Yesterday’s Activity: One OK one at Gulf. One OK one in the Fair Grounds finale. Racing week in North America essentially truncated to three days these days, starting on Friday and ending on Sunday.
