Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but your Australian Lawn Tennis Tournament Ladies’ Final will be contested very early Saturday morning, before that day’s ‘First Post’ is published. Serena Wms. — Serena’s Song, remember that Thoroughbred? — is your prohibitive 1-7 fave over upstart Angelique Kerber, 5-1. Then again, Roberta Vinci was 300-1 to defeat Serena in the 2015 U.S. Open semifinal — and it happened!

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (0/0) — Porzingis sits out loss to Toronto; Sasha Vujacic still in the league, contributing 13 pts. in 24 mins. off the bench.

Delta (1/0) — Friday night finds the Mystic Krewes of Oshun, Cleopatra parading Uptown.

Fair Grounds (0/0) — See Delta commentary.

Golden Gate (1/1) — No public tout of Aly’s Last Magic in Race 5 — owing to her low 6-1 morning-line odds — but she was a Dual Qualifier (99, 92 top-rated on both LifeLiner Speed and LifeLiner Spread, respectively), and won at $20.20.

Gulf (2/0) — Fla. Panthers in fine position to win Atlantic Div.

Oaklawn (2/1) — Same situation, in Race 7 here (War Stroll, $22.80), as found in the commentary for Golden Gate. Exactly the same.

PennNat (0/0) — Like Sasha Vujacic, Rick Santorum still in the league.

Santa Anita (1/½) — ‘B’ Horse players (Roman Tizzy, Fair Odds 3½-1 in Race 5) would have been OK even despite the seemingly prohibitive presence of 7-10 A Colt Following. No backing LifeLiner numbers for ’Tizzy, though, so we were not close to touting him.

Turfway (0/0) — Nice to see Thurs. evening racing back in Florence.
