Met a precious little Morkie/Maltese/Yorktese doggie named Clara at Beeman Park in downtown Studio City this morning. Clara is attached to the lady in the video. Young Kevork was doubly enamored, obviously.

Yesterday’s Activity: The opener at Del Mar was good in terms of players of all stripes harvesting a bumper parimutuel on My Farmer, Fair Odds of 4½-1 and a competitive 87 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he was a stalking-horse throughout before wearing them down in the lane to win by 2¼ at $37-even. Good work.
