Yesterday’s Activity:

Track (Win Mutuels $20+/Gettable)

Belmont (1/0) — Host Jankees doubled-up by Anaheim, 10-5; Aaron Judge had a 3-run HR, his 25th HR of the season, for Nueva Jork.

BelTerra (0/0) — Remnants of Cindy bring threat of flooding to Cincinnati area.

Canterbury (0/0) — Host Twins blanked by Chisox, 9-nil; Joe Mauer went 2-for-3 for Minn.

Churchill (1/1) — Race 5 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had the bare-minimum 80 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis on Tempestuous Angel; he had to rally hard, however, before winning by 2¼ at $51.40. Good work.

Chas. Town (1/0) — W.Va. budget to be law without signature.

Delpark (1/0) — Bullets strike woman’s Magnolia home; ex-boyfriend wanted.

Evangeline (2/2) — Race 8 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a date with Lady Lutie, 84 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she was a stalking-horse throughout before winning by 1¼ at $42.60. Race 9 was contentious, and players of all stripes were OK with debutante Cherry Laurel, whose connection-line/slashline readout was 12pc/12pc/N/A; she rallied like the champion she’s on her way to becoming, winning by 3 parts of a length at $35.20, with the natural daily double paying $739 (for $2). Good work.

Finger (0/0) — Canandaigua Finger Lakes Resort developer: New dock a must.

Fair Meadows (2/2) — Race 3 was contentious, and players of all stripes hitched their hopes to Dual Qualifier Range Rider (93, 86); he went gate-to-wire to win by 3 parts of a length at $28-even. Race 5 also was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads were at peace with War Chirp, 82 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he was forwardly placed before winning by a clean half-length at $37.40. Good work.

Gulf (2/0) — Host Marlins gutted by Cubs, 11-1; Marcell Ozuna’s 20th HR of the season was all Miami’s offense could muster.

PennNat (0/0) — Fightin’ Phils spatchcock St. Louis, 5-1; Tommie Joseph went 2-for-4 with 3 RBI.

Presque (2/0) — Crews battle warehouse fire in Erie.

Prairie (1/1) — Race 3 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had the power via Megavolt, who had the best LifeLiner Spread Column analysis rating in the field; he was up-close throughout before an unrelenting stretch-run brought him 2 lengths clear at the end while paying $26.80 to win. Good work.
