A little color & botany today to add some ultra vivid scenes to your otherwise dull, gray & listless experience! Yea, verily, that’s a big assumption on our part; your life is probably much more interesting than ours — probably!
A couple of post-bedtime issues to report from last night’s (Friday’s) late action now: at Chas. Town, W. Va., your feature Race 11, the biggest race of the meet, was won by #2 Willy D’s (.141 Win Prob / 6.09-1 Fair Odds / 7.51-1 Premium Odds) at $16.40; at Edmonton, Alb., Race 6 went to #3 Moonlight Courage (.277 / 2.61 / 3.33) at $9.50.
Now to today (Saturday), which provided the following outcomes…
In your Zinzinnati opener, #4 Joia Rara (.246 / 3.07 / 4.08) was first to the wire at 7-1 but had company there, paying $6.40 in a dead heat for the win.
#4 Proof He Goes (.210 / 3.76 / 4.43) went to the winner’s circle in Del Mar, Calif.’s, Race 5 at $10-even.
Over to Collinsville, Ill., for #5 Veronicaforthewin (.471 / 1.12 / 1.42) running to that billing in scintillating five-horse affair in Race 3 at $5.20.
Opening Day at Franklin, Ky., always a wild-and-wooly meet, with Race 7 today going to #9 In Our Time (.169 / 4.92 / 5.92), who won it for Melvyn Bragg at $13.04. In the next race there, #1 Jas (.129 / 6.75 / 8.30) said yes to the upset at $22.20; your winning $186.20 daily double had a premium price of $128.71. As well, your winning $202.86 exacta was completed by #10 Kurita’s Folly (.120 / 7.33 / 9.00), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $166-even.
It took all afternoon but your Oceanport, N.J., Race 9 finale had #9 Khetam (.194 / 4.15 / 5.03) sealed the card in fine Levantine fashion at $26-even.
It took nearly the entire card at Saratoga Spgs., N.Y., but at least it counted big, with #2 Leading Change (.142 / 6.04 / 7.45) taking the premier race of the meet there, Race 13 on this card, at $22.76; completing your winning $156.16 exacta was #3 Napoleon Solo (.133 / 6.52 / 8.02), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $134.39.
A warm welcome to our friends in the Free State of Maryland, which is hosting its state fair at Timonium right now; in Race 6 there, it was #1 Aztec (.253 / 2.95 / 3.62) getting revenge for Moctezuma II at $10.80.
Here are a few choice chances — mebbe! — for the remainder of your last Saturday of August now…
