Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None on the free page! Zero! However, they may be covered with our compliments below. We shall see. On the pay-side it’s Monmouth 11, Woodbine 8.

Tiptoeing around them morning-line fave in Belmont 9, instead preferring the dynamite dyad of #6 Divisidero, #7 Made in Detroit.

Uh-oh. #7 Work All Week hasn’t worked in seven months now, but he’s one of ’em Quintuple Qualifying Horseys in Churchill 8.

Big day of stakes at Evangeline, and it kicks off in Race 5 with the equine equivalent of a lotto-ball hopper. Longshot #6 Hot Tempo is no worse than the rest of ’em. Likewise #5 Stormdriver in the sixth. Likewise #8 Shunned (!) and #10 Cajun Spirit in Race 7. Likewise #6 Quick Dagger, #8 Snappy Girl, #7 Reflector, #3 Ty’s Bandit in the eighth. Race 9 is left to yourself. Tyvm.

Going for the straight-up surprise in Finger 7: #1 You Jane.

Another crazy race is Indiana 3, and the outrageous #3 Candy War and #1 Cara Marie cannot be summarily dismissed. Same goes for the zany #9 Another Lemon Drop, #8 Fly Friendly Sky, #7 Tuba in the fifth there.

Singling-out #7 Strict Compliance in PennNat 1. Race 3 there is a complete random-number generator, with #1 Golden Glint, #9 Very Lucky, #2 Street Babe, #5 Cousin STEPHEN, #4 East Hall among the living. Another longshot arrives in the fourth: #11 Gallery. Race 5 has #3 Je Suis Enchantee and #4 Where’s Rosie B in with chances at scrumptious odds.

Prairie 7 now, and #9 I’m Workin On It gets top billing. In the eighth there, #5 Big Big Easy and #1 Shrewd Move are potential upsetters.

Trying for the fave-longshot pairing of #2 Spanish Queen and #3 Dating Lady Luck in Santa Anita 5. Finally, morning-line choice #7 Moreno puts an end to all the longshots with Quintuple Qualifying Horsey status in the eighth.

OK. Exhale. Whew. Too much horseys. Sometimes. Breathe out.

Yesterday’s Activity: One good one apiece at Belmont, Santa Anita. As always, hope you had ’em.
