The flavor might be meh, but its aerodynamic properties are a miracle

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (0/0) — Blueshirt Rangers embarrassed at home by Pittsburgh, 5-nil; King Henrik of Lundqvist shellshocked and yanked from the contest. Hoo-boy.

Chas. Town (0/0) — Mingo Co. Sheriff’s deputies round-up 18 in drug crackdown.

Evangeline (1/0) — Five inmates in the St. Landry Parish Prison earn their equivalency diplomas.

Golden Gate (1/0) — Visiting Warriors, minus Steph Curry, edged by Houston, 97-96; Golden State leads the series, 2-1.

Gulf (1/0) — Marlins beat visiting Wash., D.C., 5-1; Marcell Ozuna had a 3-run homer in the win.

Hawthorne (3/1) — W W Royalty was only 6-1 on the morning line, so no public tout forthcoming — regrets! But all sorts of players were going to hit him: Fair Odds of 3½-1 in a contentious race, a qualifying 86 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis, all good. W W Royalty went all the way to win by 3¼ at $26.80. Good work.

Keeneland (2/1) — Race 5 did not seem contentious, but Favorite Coach came through for the High-Octane Chancers anyway as a Dual Qualifier (82, 95); he pretty much went coast-to-coast, in front by 2¾ at the wire at $33.80 up top. Good work.

Los Alamitos Thoroughbreds (1/1) — Publicly touted Runaway Wildcat, $34-even, was a King of the Nightcap Special, up top on the Betting Line, plus Dual Qualifier status (85, 80), to boot. He won by a clean neck. Good work.

Lone Star (1/0) — Mavs get trounced at home by OKC, 131-102; Thunder lead the series, 2-1.

PennNat (1/½) — Entusiasta took Race 2 at $31.80 as a textbook Old-School Champeen-type play: Fair Odds of 3½-1 in a contentious race, but without any LifeLiner backing. Good work.
