A Philly Institution…

Friday, and for a long time in the Delaware Valley, and then later on via syndication, Friday meant ‘Friday with Frank’ as presented by the gentleman in today’s video lede: Mistah Sid Frank. His flagship station was the old WWDB-FM 96.5, a reactionary talk-radio outlet that undoubtedly was a precursor to the fashy AM radio of the 1990s and beyond. But on Friday night, and a couple of days later (via ‘Sunday with Sinatra’), it was going to be Sid Frank taking down the rhetorical temperature with the immortal sounds of what they used to call ‘easy listening’.

Some late-issues to report from yesterday’s (Thursday’s) nighttime action: at Louisville, Ky., your Race 8 finale went to #10 Turner’s Charm (.130 Win Prob / 6.69-1 Fair Odds / 8.23-1 Premium Odds) who won it for Ted Turner on the Day of His Death at $18.38; at Opelousas, La., #6 Molto Vino (.183 / 4.46 / 5.56) had plenty of wine to go along with his win in Race 4 at $16.40; in Race 7 there, #7 Tensas Camp Road (.154 / 5.49 / 6.60) led to the winner’s circle at $20-even; at Grantville, Penna., Race 6 went to #3 Paterno (.317 / 2.15 / 2.69), who won it for the long lost JoePa at $7.60.

As for today (Friday) some of your races went like this…

At Hallandale Beach, Fla., #5 Das Ist Alles Ally (.253 / 2.95 / 3.62) was all enemy to his foes in Race 2 at $11.20. In Race 6, #6 Moonstrocity (.347 / 1.88 / 2.37) won it for Luna at $9.40.

At Laurel, Md., #5 Impressiveness (.360 / 1.78 / 2.25) took the fifth at an unimpeachable $6.20.

#5 Danzig Til Dawn (.189 / 4.29 / 5.35) won Race 7 for Gdansk at Sunrise at $14.60; #7 Gogotiz (.264 / 2.79 / 3.43) completed your winning $55.60 exacta whose premium price was $47.40.

Really late in the evening for this quartet from Century Mile Thoroughbreds & Prairie
