OK, La-La Land. Here we go.
Dear Shailene Woodley:
Thank you for your candor. We do not read DRF or watch TVG or look at the collective genius of the hive-mind at the Tempo Edge watercooler, either. As fellow contemplatives, we strive to attain your accomplishments, if not your beauty, despite similarly turning away from so many fine spectacles.
Sincerely,
The Boys in The Back Room
All right then, sheeple! Let’s see what is going on in the Word of Thoroughbred Horse Race Handicapping & Wagering in North America today.
Aha! There’s a Graded stakes this evening over at the Presque in Erie, Penna., in the Rust Belt of ’murrika. For all the afflicted and addicted, for all those who are pale and in jail (or one step away), it looks to be a contentious affair now, this Race 5, with outsider — both figurative and literal! — #11 Cavalia having a cheap thrill on the lead for however long that lasts; and that might not be long enough, given the WMF 27 over the notoriously early-speed-sapping synthetic at 6½f. Unfortunately, all the worthy longshots reside in that similar running-style neighborhood, toward the lead, which gives another outsider — a literal outsider, not a figurative one — #12 Bar of Gold a fine opportunity to do some quality, victorious hoofing in the straight. That’s the Shailene Woodley version of it, anyway, without any outside influence on our reckoning.
Elsewhere, there’s some crazy track-bias plays on the early end of proceedings at evening-time tracks, led — literally! — by the humdingers in the sprint races at Hazel and Mountain. In Race 4 at the latter, #7 Onejump looks to run to that billing one jump from the gate, controlling the running and improving his position from there; the obvious closer is the #4 Onlyattheshoe. In Race 7 at the former, part-of-entry #1 Unlikely Scenario is more than likely to make the front, as long as he remains in the field; otherwise, the #5 Smitteninthemitten and #6 Big Cat’s Hat will duke it out from the get-go; either way, the ’Cat will be ready to be a ferocious feline in the lane.
Already gone is Delpark 7, one of those crazy open-claiming races on the turf. After some late-scratches, the remaining low-odds horse on your morning line was one of those buried-type favorites: seventh (of 10) on the Betting Line, sixth on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, same ranking on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. The eventual winner Great Plan (!) was a second-best 91 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, and his mutuel was $65.20 up top.
Did you have him? Well, that’s good! So did DRF, TVG, Tempo Edge, etc.!
