Drew Doughty, the ladies love him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yesterday&rsquo;s Activity<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Track (Win Mutuels $20+\/Gettable)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chas. Town (1\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; O. J. Simpson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delta (1\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Bernie Madoff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gulf (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; In the Race 2 upset, Dual Qualifier Rock All Day (80, 81) was in front all the way &rsquo;round at $35.20. Probably not contentious enough for the public tout, but high-octane chancers would have gotten it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mahoning (1\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Jep &#038; Jessica. <\/p>\n<p><strong>PennNat (1\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; I Feel Luckie (great spelling there!) won Race 4 at $52.60. The race was not contentious on the conventional Betting Line, but &rsquo;Luckie (great spelling again!) had enough skill in the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis, 83. No public touting conceivable, but high-octane chancers had to have nailed it; had to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tampa (3\/2&frac12;)<\/strong> &mdash; One of the two (Wild Covey, Race 7, $29.60) was indeed a public (pay-side) tout. &rsquo;Covey was a Dual Qualifier (82, 88). In Race 2, first-timer surprise Buster Rocks was also attainable via the connections-line: 14pc\/10pc\/N\/A, good enough in a contentious race &mdash; especially at real-life odds of 22-1. Sorry, but the earliness of this Race 2 post time (9:55 a.m. PST &mdash; yawn!) kept this one out of the pay-side. Apologies. In-between, Race 5&rsquo;s Peggy N Judy, $22.40, was another debut shocker, atop the conventional V6 Betting Line at Fair Odds of 3&frac12;-1; however, the connection-line numbers were off in the Trainer-Jockey comboa (comboa!) column, so only half-a-get could be rewarded. Still, the Old Guard V6 players, some of them also high-octane chancers, were duly rewarded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turf Paradise (2\/1&frac12;)<\/strong> &mdash; Bad Luck in Race 4. Publicly third-touted Prince of Paris crossed the wire in front of the rest at 20-1; but &rsquo;Paris was disqualified to fourth. Boo! Half-a-get. In Race 5, no public tout could have been made on Checkoutmyman, owing to low 5-1 morning-line odds. But Checkoutmyman was a Dual Qualifier (99 (!), 85) and went off at 11-1. The $25.40 win mutuel was easily snared by even low-octane, two-stroke-engine, caution-loving non-chancers.
