Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but there are a couple of good ones later for your Australian Tournament in the Big-League Lawn Tennis, including Rogerr Federr (a k a ‘Fed’) v. Grigor Dimitrov (a k a ‘Baby Fed’), and homegrown Australian whippersnapper Nick Kyrgios v. perennial nearly-man Tomas Berdych.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Delta (1/1) — The race (Race 9) was contentious, and 16-1 winner War Account just slipped into contenderdom (contenderhood?) via a minimum-standard 80 in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating. Once in a while…

Mahoning (1/0) — Youngstown, Ohio, first exit west after Sharon, Penna.

PennNat (1/0) — Live by the 80, die by the 80: Upsetter Zealectric in Race 5 was a 79 in the LifeLiner Spread column, 1 pt. below both the minimum standard and, in this instance, also the top figure in the field. Oh, well…

Portland (1/1) — Shocker in the finale was won by a debut issue in a shapeless race; said issue had an OK connections-line readout of 14pc/18pc/N/A, good enough at $55.20 up top. Sometimes…

Tampa (2/0) — Come on, Lightning! Put that other team’s franchise-record winning streak to an end this evening! Come on, Lightning! Show us your Bolts! Rooting for the Lightning tonight!

Turf Paradise (1/0) — See PennNat commentary.
