Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Belmont (1/1) — Race 4 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had Dual Qualifier Bright Side Up (89, 84) to consider; she went gate-to-wire to win by a clean nose at $30.40. Good work.

Calder (0/0) — Host Panthers doubled-up by Wash., D.C., 4-2; Jaro Jagr, still in the league at age 44, scored his 750th career goal in the loss.

Chas. Town (1/½f) — Here’s the Old-School Champeens for Numbers, Fair Odds of 6-1 but with no LifeLiner backing, in a contentious Race 8; he won by a clean half-length at $25.20. Good work.

Delta (1/0) — Town of Oberlin remains under boil advisory.

Finger (2/1) — Race 2 was not contentious, but Real Deal Lady’s 85 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis was intriguing to the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads; she rallied like the champion she should have been, winning by 1 at $33-even. Good work.

Golden Gate (1/1) — Hoo-boy. This is where the Old-School Champeens got their long-awaited vegeance, similar to the Shaker Hts. Shoshones & the Chicagoland Ursinos. Race 6 was contentious, and there were Fair Odds of 6-1 but no LifeLiner backing on Jens de Ville, who won by a clean nose at $151.60. Good work.

Hawthorne (1/1) — Small consolation for the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads in the contentious finale via Dual Qualifier Lakota Rose (95, 92), who had no Fair Odds; she went gate-to-wire to win by a clean head at $23.40. Good work.

Keeneland (1/1) — Race 8 was contentious, and High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads only could get behind Renown, who had a bare-minimum 80 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied like the champion he still could become, winning by a clean nose at $20.80. Good work.

Northlands (2/0) — Host Oilers move to 4-1-0 with 3-1 win over St. Louis; Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist for Edmonton.

PennNat (0/0) — Host Flyers edged by Anaheim, 3-2; Wayne Simmonds and Matt Read had the goals for Philalala.

Remington (1/0) — 2 buildings evacuated in NW OKC due to cut gas line.

Santa Anita (0/0) — Host Los Doyers now playing elimination games for the remainder of NLCS after an 8-4 drubbing by Chicagoland, which leads series 3 games to 2; Andrew Toles scored a run and drove-in another for La-La Land.
