Today’s Stakes Pageantry: We won’t make it in time for Fair Grounds 1. Regrets!

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (0/0) — Knickerbockers beat visiting Bulls, 106-94; Carmelo Anthony had 26 for New York.

Chas. Town (0/0) — All northbound lanes of I-77 near Charleston are open again after an earlier 8-vehicle accident.

Fair Grounds (1/0) — Pelicans fall on road to Pacers, 92-84; Alexis Ajinca led New Orleans with 22 pts.

Golden Gate (2/0) — Giants fall in slugfest to visiting Cubs, 16-14; San Francisco squandered a 7-1 lead.

Gulf (0/0) — Panthers stomp host Bruins, 4-1; Roberto Luongo stopped 34 of 35 shots he faced.

Oaklawn (1/0) — Maumelle P.D. are on the lookout for a man who allegedly stole 2 30-packs of beer from a liquor store; the man is also said to have fled the scene by car, hitting five other cars in the process.

PennNat (0/0) — Philalala Flyers score 3 times in the 3rd period in a 4-2 road victory over the Avalanche; Pierre-Edouard Bellemare had a goal and an assist for the winners.

Santa Anita (1/1) — The opener went to Unusually Big, $21-even. No public tout was forthcoming, owing to his low 6-1 odds on the morning line; however, ’Big had the best LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating in the field (93), and the race was contentious. No High-Octane Chancers were needed to redeem this one. And in a Lazarus-type bulletin, Ned Reldem, Esq. — still grieving over the ouster of his beloved Va. Poly hoopball teams from postseason action, not to mention the dismissal of Dennis Wolff as coach of the women’s squad — hit this one from the cozy confines of an unnamed chariot-racino-style facility on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. This doubtless will be welcome news to Honeyman, halochef, Franklin M. Beamer, a couple of others.
