Yesterday’s Activity:

Calder (0/0) — Trump voter calls Coral Gables Starbucks barista ‘trash,’ says she discriminates ‘against whites’.

Chas. Town (0/0) — Martinsburg residents express concern over proposed detox center.

Delta (1/1) — Race 8 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a bare-minimum 80 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis to consider on Hook, who rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by a clean neck at $21.20. Good work.

Finger (0/0) — Woman drove drunk onto sidewalk in Canandaigua.
