Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (0/0) — Jankees lose in extras to O’s, 11-10, in Grapefruit League action in Sarasota; New York starter Ivan Nova was rocked for 5 earned runs in 4 ⅔ innings.

Chas. Town (1/0) — U.S Route 60 in Cabell Co. is open again after a one-vehicle rollover incident near the Industrial Park.

Fair Grounds (2/0) — Tulane seniors petition against TV personality as commencement speaker; Mike Dunleavy Sr. set to take over as men’s hoopball coach.

Fonner (2/1) — Distort This takes the finale at $22.40; the race was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers noticed that Distort This had the top LifeLiner Spread Column number in the field. Distort This won by a clean nose after opening up by 2 in the final furlong. For the High-Octane Chancers, whew. Also for the High-Octane Chancers, good job.

Golden Gate (0/0) — Warriors beat visiting Mavs, 128-120, to improve to 65-7 on the season; Golden State’s Klay Thompson led all scorers with 40.

Gulf (1/0) — Host Heat beat Magic 108-97; Hassan Whiteside had 26 pts. in the win.

Hawthorne (1/0) — Cubs lose to Brewers, 5-4, in Cactus League action from Mesa; Jon Lester started for Chicago and went 5 scoreless innings.

Los Alamitos (0/0) — Jakers get trounced by host Nuggets, 116-105; Koobay Brian had 28 in the loss.

Laurel (2/0) — Capitals get OT road win at N.J., 1-nil; Braden Holtby stopped all 22 shots he faced.

Oaklawn (1/1) — Uh-oh. The race was not contentious; however, High-Octane Chancers would have had no option but to take a look at Mr. Ticker Talker, thanks to his qualifying 84 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. Mr. Ticker Talker obliged with a tight-pressing score by 1¼ at $44.20. Good job, High-Octane Chancers.

PennNat (1/0) — Phillies and Blue Jays finish in a 4-all tie in Grapefruit League action at Clearwater; Mikael Franco hit his 8th HR of the spring for Philadelphia.

Santa Anita (2/1) — Race 7 went to Broadway Nika, $30.20; the race was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers would have been enticed by the quality 85 for ’Nika on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. ’Nika went gate-to-wire to win by 3¼. High-Octane Chancers, good job.

Sunland (1/1) — First-timer Catch This Rider had the proper connection-line readout (17pc/10pc/27pc) in a contentious race, and she rallied to win by half a length at $22.40.

Tampa (1/0) — Rays lose to Twins, 6-1, in Grapefruit League action in Port Charlotte; Tampa starter Drew Smyly surrendered 5 runs in 6 innings pitched.

Turfway (0/0) — Large-scale effort to begin today to recover automobile submerged in Ohio River near the Combs-Hehl Bridge in Campbell Co.
