Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Aqueduct (2/1) — Race 5 was contentious, and only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads could see Galardonado, 90 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he went gate-to-wire to win by 4¼ at $28.80. As well, 22-1 Marble Falls, 81 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis, ran second all the way around, completing your winning $485.50 Bonkers Exacta Box. Good work.

Delta (2/0) — Lake Chas. man indicted on murder charge in convenience-store shooting.

Golden Gate (5/2) — Race 4 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a case for Sizzling Eddie and his 85 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he went gate-to-wire to win by 4 at $50-straight. In Race 7, contentious, Art of War also was eligible for consideration by High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads, thanks to an 87 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she had to rally hard, though, to win by a clean head at $22.80.

In Race 6, contentious, Dual Qualifier Valentine Street (70, 75) (!) was in play for High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads, who saw him rally like the champion he’s on his way to becoming en route to a clean half-length win at $50.80.
