Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Arlington (1/1) — Race 3 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers saw that Hollarforadollar (!) had the field-best 82 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she did not go gate-to-wire but made the lead with a furlong or so to go, winning by 1 at $36.20. Good work.

Belterra (0/0) — Reds blank visiting Cards, 7-nil; Brandon Finnegan threw 6 shutout innings for the win, walking none and striking-out 4.

Canterbury (0/0) — Twins whipped by host Cleveland, 9-2; Brian Dozier and Kurt Suzuki drove in the runs for Minnesota.

Chas. Town (0/0) — Candidate for Berkeley Co. Sheriff facing drug charge.

Delpark (1/1) — Publicly touted Tarkia, a Dual Qualifier (93, 83) in a contentious Race 4, made the lead with a furlong to go and won by 3 at $24.80. Good work.

Del Mar (0/0) — Serial BB gun shooter at-large in Allied Gardens.

Evangeline (2/1) — Not contentious, Race 8, but Celtic Lass had an OK 81 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis for the High-Octane Chancers; she rallied a little on the way to a win by 3 parts of a length at $21-even. Good work.

Finger (1/0) — Drought warning issued for Western N.Y. (!)

Gulf (0/0) — 8-ft. alligator captured on Key Biscayne.

Indiana (1/1) &mash; Race 6 was contentious, and Runaway Betty had your field-best 86 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she rallied a bit to win by a clean head at $20-straight. Good work.

Louisiana (1/0) — Shreveport family escapes house fire.

PennNat (0/0) — Fightin’ Phils fall in 10 inns. to visitor San Francisco, 3-2; Aaron Altherr and Freddy Galvis each had an RBI for Philalala.

Publicly touted My Four Rewards, 30-1 on your morning line, was actually a Dual Qualifier (94, 90) in a contentious Race 2; she had to rally, though, winning by a clean head at $110-even — not a typo! ’ up top. Good work.

Prairie (1/1) — Race 6 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers saw that Ts Theregoesmycash had a good 84 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she did go gate-to-wire, winning by a clean neck at $25.40. Good work.

Saratoga (2/0) — Saratoga Co. highway worker injured after being struck by car.

Santa Rosa (0/0) — See PennNat commentary.
