Rambo here opened the scoring

This morning’s No. London Derby was a pulsating affair, nearly as entertaining as these so-called debates during the presidential primary season. The Derby finished in a 2-2 draw between host Spuds (a k a Tottenham Hotspur) and 10-man Arse (a k a The Arsenal). Today’s match was, according to the matchday commentator on the telly, ‘a proper advert for the Premier League’. Indubitably.

Each side will feel it should have gotten the win, and all 3 points on offer.

Free ones: Rundown…

Aqueduct 4, 8
Gulfstream Park Proper 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13
Santa Anita 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Fair Grounds 6, 9, 10
Golden Gate 7
Sam Houston 2, 3, 6, 7, 10
Mahoning 5, 6, 7
Oaklawn 1, 2, 3, 4, 7
Tampa 7, 8, 9, 11
Turfway 2, 8, 9, 10
Turf Paradise 3

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Gulf 12, Santa Anita 5 on the free page. Fair Grounds 9 on the pay-side.

Should be OK for #2 Shagaf in Aqueduct 9.

Delta 8 is wide-open, and #5 Smoothmoney seems at no great disadvantage to the others.

A trio of potential upsetters goes in Fonner 9: #8 Nic a Jack, #9 Go Gold, #7 Miscvhievousdennis.

All systems go for the obvious #1 Subtle Indian in Oaklawn 8.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (2/1) — Race 4 would not have been publicly touted, regardless of the hour; the race simply was not contentious via the conventional V6 Betting Line. Still, High-Octane Chancers would have been compelled to make the play: after all, Who Is the Giant was second-best on said V6 Betting Line, plus he had a good-enough 81 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. Who Is the Giant returned $32.20 for the win.

Chas. Town (2/1) — Race 2 featured the upset by Banjammer, and he would have been a play for any sane V6 user. The race was classically contentious, and Banjammer was the top LifeLiner Speed Column runner in the field, 95. Banjammer paid $44.20 up top.

Delta (2/1) — Town Surprise ran to that billing, taking the 10th at $26.40 straight. The conditions of this upset were similar to those for Banjammer in the second at Chas. Town: contentious on the Betting Line, plus Town Surprise was a Dual Qualifier, courtesy of a top-of-the-field 97 in the LifeLiner Speed Column and another top-of-the-field 94 in the LifeLiner Spread Column. A good result, no High-Octane Chanciness necessary.

Fair Grounds (1/0) — Placekicker Josh Scobee signs one-year deal with the Saints.

Fonner (1/1) — Not toutable, Golden Brown Sugar in the seventh, but High-Octane Chancers would have taken her and gotten the candy. Or something like that. The race was not contentious, but ’Sugar had a sufficient 71 (weak field, ability-wise!) in the LifeLiner Speed Column. This was a $47.80 win mutuel.

Golden Gate (0/0) — Cactus League baseball result: Giants 4-3 over host Cincy at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Ariz.

Gulf (1/1) — Only High-Octane Chancers could have been eligible for the $40-even mutuel on winner Tiz Bobby in the opener. Dead-last on your V6 Betting Line in a noncontentious race, but that qualifying 81 in the LifeLiner Speed Column might have been the thing to get in on the action. Certainly a full tank of Sunoco Ultra 93 Octane would have been helpful.

Sam Houston (1/1) — Top LifeLiner Spread Column analysis horse You Funny Man (82) won the opener at $30.40. Race not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers almost surely had him.

Los Alamitos (1/1) — Dual Qualifier Sibernation (85, 96) got the gate-to-wire shocker to win the opener by half a length at $28.60. The 6-5 fave, who ran dead last, seemed legit (well, the Betting Line said so; but LifeLiner said ‘no way, Jossie!’), but this is a good example of how the High-Octane Chancers can do some serious bodily injury to their fellow horseplayers.

Oaklawn (1/1) — Publicly touted Sword of David (third-listed Second Bonkersmate in Race 6) won at $28.20. ’Sword was a first-timer in a hellaciously wide-open field, and he flashed a connection-line readout of 21pc/14pc/16pc — more than good enough.

PennNat (1/½) — Hoo-boy. Here we go. The race was textbook-contentious, the Betting Line a nebulous and half-formed thing. But Bemois third on that Betting Line, Fair Odds of 6-1; however, there was no LifeLiner corroboration on Bemois. Result: a plain-old, old-fashioned Winning Thoroughbred Strategies-style longshot: $63.80. Half a get.

Santa Anita (0/0) — Jakers keep it respectable, hold visiting Atlanta’s margin of victory to 29 pts.; Kyle Korver, still in the league, goes 4-for-4 from 3-pt. range for the Hawks.

Sunland (2/½) — Same sitch as the PennNat scenario: No LifeLiner support for Mystic Who in Race 8, but he was top of the Betting Line in a contentious race. He paid $25.40. Half a get.

Tampa (1/0) — Lightning, atop Atlantic Division, host Carolina Saturday.

Turfway (2/1) — Publicly touted Second Bonkersmate City Classic, co-top on the V6 Betting Line and top of the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis with a 90 there, posted the $87.80 toteboard-detonator in the finale. Mark ’im up!
