Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Insane Bonkers Box cold-punching in Delta 8: #8 Figuresitsacat, #7 Angelita. Insane.
Yesterday’s Activity:
Track/(Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)
Aqueduct (0/0) — Where’s Kristaps Porzingis when you need him?
Chas. Town (0/0) — Games of chance also available on the grounds.
Delta (2/0): — Alvin Gentry not happy with Pelicans, either.
Fair Grounds (0/0) — See Delta commentary.
Golden Gate (0/0) — Same fate as the one suffered by the public-utility taxi service in the City of San Francisco.
Gulf (4/3) — Sorry, but the $78-number in the finale was the biggest mutuel on the card and it was not gettable. Otherwise, Race 5 had Lakota Warrior doing OK via the co-highest LifeLiner Spread Column analysis in the field; because his morning line was lower than 8-1, he was not touted publicly. Regrets! Race 7 was Cowigrl Tough’s turn at $22.60, and it was a late posting-time that did her in; maybe she gets touted, maybe not. The morning line and LifeLiner Speed and LifeLiner Spread all lined up for her, but the old-timey contentious/noncontentious Betting Line dynamic might have skeered us away. Too much psychological torture. Hard to say. However, Race 8 was a public tout up top, $37.40 for Tela, all systems go on LifeLiner Speed in a classically contentious affair.
PennNat (3/0) — No good, Kathleen Kane, no good.
Santa Anita (2/½) — The Race 5 winner had no LifeLiner bona fides; however, the classical contentious-race V6 Betting Line put him at 6-1, so, like that, a textbook overlay; we were unmoved. Race 8 was Honourable Mention Bonkers-touted I’m No Patsy, loser by a dirty nose at 17-1! Boo, hiss! The winner escaped too. Apologies.
Turfway (2/2) — Both touted on the pay-side. Hallelujah. Allahu akbar.
