Pig, flying

Emotional eating: it’s real, and it’s a thing. Pass the Brioschi!

Free ones: Rundown…

Saratoga Race Course 3, 5, 6, 8, 11
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Pending…

Pay-side (Weekday/Weekend): Today…

Arlington 4, 5, 8
Belterra 3, 7, 8
Delpark 4, 5
Ellis Park 1, 3, 6, 8
Golden Gate 1, 7
Louisiana 2, 5, 6, 7
Monmouth 7, 8, 9
Remington 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Woodbine 1, 4, 5, 6, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Pay-side has Monmouth 8, Golden Gate 7.

Probably OK for #7 Pleuven in Ellis Park 5, though #1 One Touch may have some say early-on and perhaps beyond.

Prohibitive chalk is #3 Ruffenuff in Northlands 1. Ditto #4 Fall At Last in the next race there.

Graded-stakes turf-sprint in Keystone 8, and you know what that means: wild-open, wild-open, or so we cross our fingers. #6 Black Jet, #10 Bold Thunder and #4 Doctor J Dub are live longshots therein. Next race there, also crazy: pick a number, any number, your selection is as good as any.

Ruidoso 7 is contentious, and #5 Mr. Wizard and #2 Infinite Bull have off-the-layoff hopes.

#2 Practical Joke seems best in Saratoga 10, but #3 Runaway lUTE can get the jump on him and the rest, maybe.

Yesterday’s Activity: …is today’s inactivity. After all, the Day Celebrating Work is the Day You Don’t Have To Do Any. That, plus emotional eating and Brioschi OD’ing. Regrets!
