Where’s Brewster when you need him most? Can the Koch Bros. step in and fill this role? Tom Steyer? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Saratoga 8 on the free page.

Live third-choice on the morning line in Indiana 7: #1 Carmalley Chrome. But it’s wild-open in Race 8, wild-open, and #3 Sights and Sounds emerges as a live longshot in it.

Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Fort Erie (0/0) — Fire destroys Port Colborne home.

Finger (0/0) — Canandaigua man injured after falling asleep behind the wheel.

Fairmount (1/0) — Visiting Cards lose to Cincinnati, 7-5; Adam Wainwright, Jedd Gyorko, Brandon Moss and Tommy Pham each had a solo HR for St. Louis.

Indiana (1/0) — Police investigating fatal E. Indpls. shooting.

Mountain (2/1) — Race 3 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers made allowances for Elegant Beni and his 80 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he went gate-to-wire to win by a clean neck at $24.40. Good work.

Keystone (1/1) — Race 5 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers made allowances for Deacon Furr and his 80 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied a little to win by 2 at $22.20. Vince Cullie: ‘Deuces wild’. Good work.

Presque Isle (2/0) — 8 dogs taken from Erie home following reports of dogfighting.
