Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (1/1) — Publicly touted Littlemissperfect had the Dual Qualifier status (93, 85) in a contentious Race 5, which she won by 2¼ at $20.40.

Chas. Town (3/2) — The opener went to Tucan Tango, LifeLiner Spread Column qualifier in a contentious race — amongst the experienced maidens, anyway; ’Tucan won by 5¼ and paid $28.60 up top. In Race 5, Montross was a Dual Qualifier (80, 91) in a noncontentious race, but High-Octane Chancers would have brought home the $22.20 win mutuel.

Fonner (1/0) — Police have arrested an 11-year-old boy in Omaha after he allegedly shot a pellet gun at a priest.

Golden Gate (0/0) — Warriors lose at home for first time in 55 regular-season games, 109-106, to Boston; Stephen Curry led Golden State with 29 pts.

Gulf (2/0) — Heat beat host Kings, 112-106; Gerald Green poured-in 30 for Miami.

Hawthorne (1/1) — Not a contentious race, the 4th, but Hold Me Sue was one of ’em LifeLiner Spread Column analysis qualifiers, 84. She won at $30.20-straight, and High-Octane Chancers likely were the only ones to collect. Those guys are good.

Los Alamitos (1/0) — Ducks lose at home to Vancouver, 3-2, missing a chance to retake the Pacific Division lead from La-La Land Kings; Anaheim’s Jakob Silfverberg was the game’s No. 1 star.

Laurel (2/0) — Caps travel to Colorado and win, 4-2; Washington’s Alex Ovechkin scored his 45th goal of the season.

Oaklawn (4/2) — Publicly touted Old Fashioned King took the fourth at $39.40; ’King qualified via his field-best 88 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis in a contentious race. Indeed, ’King went gate-to-wire to by 2, no High-Octane Chancers necessary. In Race 6, Bad Student, not publicly touted due to a noncontentious race-shape, was a High-Octane Chancer-type contender based on the 82 he scored on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. He won by a clean head at $21.80. Good job.

PennNat (0/0) — Phillie Sick-Sirs lose for the 67th time in 76 games in 2016, 100-91 at Charlotte; Hollis Thompson and Jerami Grant each scored 17 for Philalala.

Santa Anita (1/1) — Uh-oh. High-Octane Chancers were going to be required to take down Guy Code in Race 7, $31.20; Guy Code could not be publicly touted because of a noncontentious lineup and low morning-line odds of 6-1. Nonetheless, Guy Code had the top number on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis (87), and, accordingly, he did go gate-to-wire to win by a clean head. Good job.

Sunland (0/0) — Las Cruces Police say a 2-hour standoff began after man drunkenly shot a Roto-Rooter plumber working on the man’s sink.

Tampa (1/0) — Rays fall to host Tigers in Grapefruit League finale at Lakeland.

Turfway (1/0) — Reds play last spring-training game against the Pirates at Indianapolis today.
