Yesterday’s Activity:
Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)
Belmont (1/1) — All precincts heard from in Race 4, contentious, with Bargaining Table at Fair Odds of 4-1 and at 88 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she rallied like the champion she should have been, winning by a clean neck at $35-even. Good work.
Belterra (1/½) — Old-School Champeens had the finale, contentious, when Cover Boy, Fair Odds of 6-1 but no LifeLiner backing, won by 2¼ at $29.60. Good work.
Chas. Town (2/0) — Berkeley Co. looks to combat substance abuse.
Finger (2/1) — High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had Oxley Gap at a competitive 86 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis in a noncontentious Race 5; he went gate-to-wire to win by 3 parts of a length at $24.80. Good work.
Big Fresno Fair (0/0) — Giants visit Chicagoland for Game 1 of NLDS; Johnny Cueto (18-5, 2.79 ERA) starts for San Francisco.
Meadowlands (1/0) — Testimony continues in firebombing trial for Lodi man.
PennNat (1/1) — The finale was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads alike had an OK 84 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis on Nice Surprise, who ran to that billing by rallying like the champion he should have been and winning by 1½ at $20-straight. Good work.
Presque (1/1) — Race 3 was not contentious but Dual Qualifier Alpha Slew (84, 87) went gate-to-wire for High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads alike, winning by 2½ at $26-even. Good work.
Remington (3/1) Race 7 was contentious and rife with firsters, one of them being Commotional, whose slashline/connection-line readout was 15pc/10pc/11pc; Commotional went tail-to-wire to win by 4¼ at $31-even. Good work.
Santa Anita (0/0) — Los Doyers travel to Wash., D.C., for Game 1 of NLDS; Clayton Kershaw (12-4, 1.69 ERA) takes the mound for La-La Land.

Of course you did. Also, the Lady from Pgh. missed the ‘slag’ response. She went with
Koch— um, ‘coke’.
