BestLine Racing Society Recap:
A few post-press-time connections from last night’s (Saturday’s) late-night activity: At Florence, Ky., the opener went to #11 I Likem (.266 Win Prob / 2.76-1 Fair Odds / 3.51-1 Premium Odds) at $11.76. Then at Chas. Town, W.Va., Race 5 had #7 Windsor’s Memory (.273 / 2.66 / 3.40) winning it for the British Royal Family at $14.40; completing your winning $49.40 exacta was #2 Livana (.283 / 2.53 / 3.24), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $28.83. Next race there, #10 Jazz With Denis (.170 / 4.88 / 6.06) performed the winner’s circle solo at $18.40; your winning $166.20 daily double had a premium price of $62.12. Next race, #9 Honey Bella (.185 / 4.41 / 6.57) returned a — what else? — sweet $20.80 to complete the three-upsets-in-a-row series; your winning $206.80 daily double had a premium price of $106.88, and your winning $607.40 (for 50¢) pick 3 had a premium price of $117.57 (again for 50¢).
Today, Saturday, prior to this evening’s last-track-standing, it was Tampa, Oaklawn, Fair Grounds, Santa Anita, Turfway & Delta.
In the Hot Springs, Ark., opener, #7 Magic Tap (.364 / 1.75 / 2.30) pulled-off the winning trick at $6.80.
At Oldsmar, Fla., it seemed primitive & juvenile & ingenuous in Race 5, which featured just two experienced runners, both given the same probability of success; of course, they ran one-two, with #7 Managing Mischief (.501 / 1.00 / 1.79) and #5 Fluffy (.499 / 1.00 / 1.80) combining on your winning $50.80 exacta, with the former paying $8-even up top. As they used to say in the classic Warner Bros. cartoons all the time, ‘I’ll do it, but I shall probably hate myself in the morning!’ Sorry not sorry etc.!
To Arcadia, Calif., for Race 3; in it, #2 Court Snort (.157 / 5.37 / 7.92) won it for Rudolf Juliano Snr., Jenna Ellis Jnr. & Alina Habba-Ghanouj at $18-even. In Race 5, #9 Grand Slam Smile (.402 / 1.49 / 1.99) touched them all off at $6.20.
Finally, from Florence, Ky., #8 Secretary of War (.197 / 4.08 / 5.09) declared himself the victor in Race 2 at $15.38
