Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but La-La Land Big-League Ice Hockey continues its seemingly interminable Grammy Trip this evening in St. Louis against the Blues in a potential Western Conference final matchup.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Delta (1/0) — LSU American Gridiron Throwball also a political football now.

Gulf (2/0) — Jebrico Bushzales showing signs of life in S.C., but Gov. Nikki gives her blessing to Sen. Mark Rubie.

Mahoning (1/0) — John Kasich falling away again; at least his party’s National Convention is in his home state: Cleveland!

Tampa (1/1) — Publicly top-touted Jimmu takes the sixth at $34-even. The race was contentious among the unfortunate experienced runners, and Jimmu was tied for the top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. Converting this opportunity did not require a High-Octane Chancer.

Turf Paradise (2/1½) — Race 7 was classically contentious vis-à-vis the V6 Betting Line, and at Fair Odds of 4½-1 and actual odds of 14-1, Crown King did not disappoint the Old-School Playas. Half a get, considering the morning line was low, as were the LifeLiner Speed and Spread Column analysis numbers. But in Race 8, it was publicly touted Bonkersmate Silvertron, $39.60, scoring the upset for the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis crowd; his score in that category was a sufficient 81 in a contentious affair. As always, hope you had ’em!
