BestLine Racing Society Recap:
Good news: clothes from trip were unpacked, laundered, ironed & put-away by 8 p.m. PST last night; efficiency! Bad news: slept-in, still a little knackered from yesterday’s trip & housekeeping, with only three later-in-the-day tracks to show for it now: Oaklawn, Santa Anita (finally) & Golden Gate.
Starting with the finale at Hot Springs, Ark.; in it, #7 Speedtail (.238 Win Prob / 3.20-1 Fair Odds / 4.04-1 Premium Odds) displayed enough overall velocity to head to the winner’s circle at $24.20; completing your winning $189.40 exacta was #10 Native Land (.313 / 2.19 / 2.83), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $30.94.
In Race 5 from Albany, Calif., #2 Galopin Gourmet (.221 Win Prob / 3.52-1 Fair Odds / 4.43-1 Premium Odds) won it once more for Graham Kerr at $24.80; completing your winning $107.40 exacta was #4 Johnny Paycheck (.242 / 3.13 / 3.96), with the premium price of that comboa (comboa!) being $43.94. In the finale, it was #6 Chelsiesdanziglite (.291 / 2.44 / 3.12) prevailing at $9.40.
Staying in The Golden State, heading south to Arcadia, Calif., for Race 8 there, which was lousy with firsters. A sorry-not-sorry win from #2 Disobey (.548 / 0.82 / 1.19) at $12.40.
