Infernal week coming-up here in terms of the mercury looking to shatter the upper bounds of the thermometer. It’s been discovered recently that the mental mind, the brain, the ol’ meat computer encased in the cranium between the shoulders, is just as negatively affected by extreme heat as the physical body is. Double dose of dog-day doldrums!

A couple of past-bedtime issues from last night’s (Friday’s) late action: at Chas. Town, W.Va., #2 I’m Not Catty (.281 Win Prob / 2.56-1 Fair Odds / 3.16-1 Premium Odds) roared best in Race 6 at $8-even; at Altoona, Iowa, #2 Palace Guard (.337 / 1.97 / 2.38) won Race 11 for the King of The Castle at $6.60.

As for your today (Saturday), here are some of the outcomes…

Lousy with firsters in the New Kent, Va., opener, in which #4 Millford Lass (.341 / 1.93 / 2.52) and #5 Poll Position (.359 / 1.79 / 2.34) combined on your winning sorry-not-sorry $47.60 exacta whose premium price was $16.83.

Big day at Edmonton, Alb., where Race 4 found #7 Caravalla (.221 / 3.52 / 4.29) and #5 Worthy Spirit (.159 / 5.29 / 6.55) combined on your winning $76.10 exacta whose premium price was $64.77. Another comboa (comboa!) paid off in Race 6 when #10 King Elvis (.179 / 4.59 / 5.54) and #4 Pursue (.133 / 6.52 / 8.02) teaming-up for your winning $184.80 exacta whose premium price was $99.94.

At Stanton, Del., #4 Tea Rose (.412 / 1.43 / 1.77) was in full bloom as a low-priced-overlay winner in Race 3 at $5.20.

Also a big day for Del Mar, Calif., with Race 4 having a couple of firsters, which allowed #6 Take a Picture (.496 / 1.02 / 1.42) to win one for the old heads at a sorry-not-sorry $6.60. Next race there, #9 Sorrento Sky (.171 / 4.85 / 6.02) won it for Italy & Sia at $16-even; your winning $51.80 daily double had a premium price of $33.97.

#2 Goin’ South (.292 / 2.42 / 3.11) directed himself to the winner’s circle in Race 4 from Auburn, Wash.

At Opelousas, La., #3 Mom’s Hands (.245 / 3.08 / 3.90) and #4 Awree (.393 / 1.54 / 1.90) made-up your winning $30.40 exacta in Raee 3, with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $22.62. In Race 7, #1 Pretty Fast (.231 / 3.33 / 4.06) lived up to that name at $12.40. Next race there, #2 Southscape (.235 / 3.26 / 3.98) headed in the direction of victory lane at $9.60.

#7 Lucky Destiny (.219 / 3.57 / 4.34) also displayed sufficient skill in your Race 2 out of Collinsville, Ill., at $10.20. In Race 6, #4 Chryso Alogo (.221 / 3.52 / 4.29) won it for fossilized species everywhere at $11.80.

#6 Real Gone (.493 / 1.03 / 1.37) was a sorry-not-sorry $9.60 winner of Hallandale Beach, Fla.’s lousy-with-firsters Race 4.

In Race 5 on the Shelbyville, Ind., card, a couple of firsters allowed for old head #4 Lexie’s Lunar Rock (.362 / 1.76 / 2.23) to come through at a value-added $8.40. Similar sitch in Race 7, but with #9 C V Athena (.420 / 1.38 / 1.86) winning it for wisdom & war at a sorry-not-sorry $6.20.

#3 Banker’s Jet (.173 / 4.78 / 5.94) flew home first in Race 9 from Altoona, Iowa, at $12.80.

#5 And One More Time (.217 / 3.61 / 4.53) was equal to the moment in Saratoga Spgs., N.Y.,’s Race 10 at $14.62.

Finally from Etobicoke Int’l., #7 Charmingly Evasive (.242 / 3.13 / 3.96) proved just that to her Race 3 rivals at $10.40; completing your winning $31-even exacta was #1 Lakota Lady (.334 / 1.99 / 2.41), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $27-even. In Race 8 there, #7 Ontology (.423 / 1.36 / 1.70) classified herself a winner at $10-even.
