Next-to-last show for your 2026 amphitheater season last night, and normally we limit our day-after Saturday recaps to snapshot, still-photo ledes; we do not want to be one of those mouthbreathing concertgoers who spend the whole evening holding the damn glass oblong in front of their nose and probably blocking the view of the poor souls behind them. But today we make an exception, because the visuals practically require the accompanying music; after all, it was all soundtrack selections all night because The Maestro, the premier film-score composer of our time, Mistah John Williams! Bravo!
One post-bedtime issue to report from the late action of two nights ago (Thursday): at Oklahoma City, #2 Straightaway (.184 Win Prob / 4.43-1 Fair Odds / 5.52-1 Premium Odds) was the most direct to the wire in Race 2 at $12.60.

At Saratoga Spgs., N.Y., Race 2 was contested with a couple of first-timers, so old head #7 Carmen Amalia (.221 / 3.52 / 4.43) won it for the experienceds at a sorry-not-sorry $19.32.
At last to today (Saturday) for these outcomes…
Your Zinzinnati opener had a four-horse field, and #3 Stay Beautiful (.464 / 1.16 / 1.52) looked good enough as a low-priced-overlay at $5.60. In Race 7 there, another high-voltage four-horse lineup, and #6 Crafted (.429 / 1.33 / 1.73) made a low-priced-overlay win out of it at $5.20.
