Ladies & gentlemen, another song to inspire, this time performed by the beautiful and talented Yuna. Allahu akbar.

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 4, 7, 9
Gulfstream Park Proper 5, 8, 9
Santa Anita 1, 3, 5, 6, 8

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Belterra 3, 7, 8
Churchill 4, 6, 8
Louisiana 6, 7
Pimlico 3, 5, 8, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: None today, but hoopball has Cleveland hosting Toronto, and frozen lacrosse has San Jose at home to St. Louis. The latter is a proverbially pivotal Game 3 in a 1-1 series so far.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Belmont (1/0) — Knickerbockers to hire Jeff Hornacek as head coach.

Chas. Town (3/1) — The eighth was won by On This Day, field-best 90 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis in a contentious race; On This Day pretty much ran to that characterization, leading almost all the way to win by ¾ of a length at $56.80 up top. Good work.

Evangeline (0/0) — Krotz Spgs. man arrested for possessing drugs, guns and over $28k in cash.

Finger (1/1) — King of the NetCapper Bullies Nightcap special courtesy of Born in Brooklyn, available to all worthy High-Octane Chancers, Old-School Champeens, Progressive-Minded Eggheads and Low-T Plodders. Born in Brooklyn was top of the conventional Betting Line at Fair Odds of 3-1 in a contentious race; as well, he had a field-best 99 on the LifeLiner Speed Column and a worthy 81 on the LifeLiner Spread column — indeed, one of ’em Dual Qualifiers! Born in Brooklyn rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by 1½ and paying $22-straight. Good work.

Gulf (0/0) — Marlins drop series finale in Phillie, 4-2; Christian Yellich went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the loss.

Indiana (0/0) — New poll shows Ind. gov. race a tossup.

Louisiana (0/0) — Gov. John Bel Edwards signs medical marijuana expansion bill into law.

Mountain (1/0) — Frank Larkins Jr. trial underway in Jefferson Co.

Northlands (3/0) — Bridge over Groat Rd. to reopen in Sept.

Thistle (0/0) — Cavs looking to go up 2-0 on visiting Toronto; Cleveland a 11½-pt. fave.

Woodbine (0/0) — Jays suffer 6-3 home loss to Tampa; Juan Encarnacion hit his 8th HR of the season for Toronto.
