Yesterday’s Activity:
Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)
Aqueduct (1/0) — 16-25 in. for your Saturday
Delta (1/0) — Next big precip set for Tuesday.
Golden Gate (0/0) — El Niño 2016 stronger up North.
Gulfstream (1/1) — Here’s Double Berg, winner of Race 5 at $31.20 up top. She had the best LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating in the field, though the public tout was not forthcoming, owing to the supposedly strong top pick (2-1 Fair Odds) on the conventional V6 Betting Line. High-octane chancers would have been able to gun the motor and speed to the winner’s circle, though, surely.
Sam Houston (0/0) — No rain in the immediate forecast.
Los Alamitos (0/0) — Sprinkles around noon PST.
Laurel (1/1) — Uh-oh. Race 5 had Marching Charging doing just that to surprise the bettors at $32.80-straight. A true contentious race, this, and ’Marching was the only qualifying scorer (the flat 80!) in the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. Even the Bic® (‘Flick your Bic®!’) disposable-lighter crowd, hindered though they are by the modest amounts of butane fueling their flames, would have picked this one up — no high-octane chancers necessary.
Santa Anita (3/0) — Trace amounts of rain for midday, but nothing phantasmagorical. Imaginary yeti-sightings not part of the Arcadia (Calif.) experience. Regrets.
Sunland (0/0) — As with Delta and Sam Houston, Sunland seems dry and fast all weekend. Go get ’em!
Tampa (0/0) — Early-morning drizzle makes way for cool breezes by post-time. We’ll see.
