As threatened yesterday, a little Saint Anthony of Padua for your video lede today, his Feast Day! Saint Anthony, ora pro nobis!
Yeah, yeah, we’ll probably stop being mawkish by the end of the week, after Father’s Day comes and goes on Sunday. Until then, we might appear to be off our meds, or at least appear even more so than normal. So let’s say a prayer to Saint Anthony of Padua here to recover things that have been lost: minds, wagers, bankrolls, ambitions, ways, reputation, control, you-name-it! So many lost things, so many…and this is where having some acquaintance with the Stoic philosophy can provide some succor. Yeah. That and Rumi.
BestLine Racing Society Recap:
The Good Members of The BestLine Racing Society had The Finger & The Thistle to deal with earlier.
No good news from upstate. Over at No. Randall, Ohio, Race 3 went to #1 J J’s Fancy (.270 Win Prob / 2.70-1 Fair Odds / 3.44-1 Premium Odds), playable at an $8.80 win mutuel as long as you were willing to sacrifice 8¢ off the premium price; we report, you decide! Then in Race 4 there, #2 Cumber (.202 / 3.95 / 5.93) burdened the rest of the field with an L at $14.20. Completing your winning $95.40 exacta was #4 Distorted Limits (.178 / 4.62 / 6.87); the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) was $93.33. In the seventh, #6 Blushing Betty (.335 / 1.99 / 2.58) overcame her shyness to prevail at $8.80. Ohio!

BestLine Racing Society Precap:
Tomorrow, the Good Members of The BestLine Racing Society can expect to have Finger & Thistle again — unsure about weather patterns affecting changes & scratches at the turf courses tomorrow. Canterbury, with the turf looking OK, will be the nighttime blog track around 6 p.m. EDT / 3 p.m. PDT.
As always, we invite you to become a Good Member of The BestLine Racing Society. Two options for you this time.
The first is a cost-effective sampler for less than a sawbuck…
If you are a value-type player looking for volume savings for pretty much daily coverage for the next 6 mos.-plus…
