Savage! But we’ll allow it! And if you have a tantrum like the one shown in today’s editorial-cartoon lede, well, go pound sand on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, or if you don’t like people of darker complexion, the sand on the shores of Lake Ontario! Thank you for your attention to this matter etc.!

Some post-bedtime issues to report from last night’s (Saturday’s) late action: at Edmonton, Alb., #6 Just Scarlett (.156 Win Prob / 5.41-1 Fair Odds / 6.69-1 Premium Odds) was in-the-black in Race 6 at $14.20; at Altoona, Iowa, #1 Master Game (.315 / 2.17 / 2.71) ruled over Race 5 at $7.20, and in Race 7 there, #5 Nullarbor (.155 / 5.45 / 6.74) won it for Australia at $15.80; completing your winning $187.20 (?!) exacta was #6 Seven Taylors (.211 / 3.74 / 4.55), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $74.81; and at Oklahoma City, #7 Trust Daddy (.337 / 1.97 / 2.38) had neither type of issue preventing him from prevailing in Race 5 at $6.40.
