Down & out in the postseason…again

Outpitched by Jacob deGrom…deGROM…

As well, CK22 rarely supported by thin Doyer lineup. New Yorkersz in the driving seat now, with advancement all but assured if they take down Greinke this evening. As neutral observers, we root only for good béisbol: sharp pitching, muted scoring and seat-squeaking suspense all around, the way it was last night.

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10
Calder (a k a Gulfstream Park West) 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
Santa Anita 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

BelTerra 3, 4, 6, 7
Delpark 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Hawthorne 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9
Keeneland 5, 6, 7, 9, 10
Laurel 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Meadowlands 3, 4, 5, 6
Retama 1, 4, 6, 9
Remington 2, 6, 7, 8, 9
Woodbine 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Belmont 9, Santa Anita 5, 7 on the free page. Keeneland 9 is on the pay-side.

Appears wide-open in Woodbine 8, but in reality #7 Caren is demonstrably better than today’s rivals.

Good things going on all night at Chas. Town, and the favourite-longshot pairing of #6 Navy Ribbon and #7 My Sister Caro looks good in Race 2. In the fifth, #6 Greenway Court stands out. In with a chance in Race 6 is #5 Strawberry Cupcake. The heavy hitters populate the eighth, and #4 Little Big Sime can be involved in the exotics reckoning.

All but one of the horseys in Northlands 7 can win, including #2 Holiday Babe, #3 Can’t Use Nellie.

Keystone 10 has #5 Busy Busy Busy, #2 Buttercup Gold, #9 Billygets Arrested emerging with high-priced hopes.

Cold-puncher’s box in Thistle 5: #2 My Pardner Cal, #8 Sawyers Mickey. #5 Touch of Bling can surprise the sixth. Quixotic quintuplet for your eighth: #5 Rookie Gladden (again!), #2 Doctoriat, #1 John Galt (hoo-boy), #10 Stormin Larry, #8 Honey Let’s Sho.

OK. Exhale. Too much horseys. Sometimes.

Yesterday’s Activity: No good, Chollie. No good.
