Rambo here opened the scoring<\/p><\/div>\n

This morning’s No. London Derby was a pulsating affair, nearly as entertaining as these so-called debates during the presidential primary season. The Derby finished in a 2-2 draw between host Spuds (a k a Tottenham Hotspur) and 10-man Arse (a k a The Arsenal). Today’s match was, according to the matchday commentator on the telly, ‘a proper advert for the Premier League’. Indubitably. <\/p>\n

Each side will feel it should have gotten the win, and all 3 points on offer.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Track (Win Mutuels $20+\/Gettable)<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Aqueduct (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 4 would not have been publicly touted, regardless of the hour; the race simply was not contentious via the conventional V6 Betting Line. Still, High-Octane Chancers would have been compelled to make the play: after all, Who Is the Giant was second-best on said V6 Betting Line, plus he had a good-enough 81 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. Who Is the Giant returned $32.20 for the win.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (2\/1) — Race 2 featured the upset by Banjammer, and he would have been a play for any sane V6 user. The race was classically contentious, and Banjammer was the top LifeLiner Speed Column runner in the field, 95. Banjammer paid $44.20 up top.<\/p>\n

Delta (2\/1) — Town Surprise ran to that billing, taking the 10th at $26.40 straight. The conditions of this upset were similar to those for Banjammer in the second at Chas. Town: contentious on the Betting Line, plus Town Surprise was a Dual Qualifier, courtesy of a top-of-the-field 97 in the LifeLiner Speed Column and another top-of-the-field 94 in the LifeLiner Spread Column. A good result, no High-Octane Chanciness necessary.<\/p>\n

Proof: http:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/2016\/03\/04\/nocturnal-submission-freestanding-edition-207\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Fair Grounds (1\/0)<\/strong> — Placekicker Josh Scobee signs one-year deal with the Saints.<\/p>\n

Fonner (1\/1)<\/strong> — Not toutable, Golden Brown Sugar in the seventh, but High-Octane Chancers would have taken her and gotten the candy. Or something like that. The race was not contentious, but ’Sugar had a sufficient 71 (weak field, ability-wise!) in the LifeLiner Speed Column. This was a $47.80 win mutuel.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> — Cactus League baseball result: Giants 4-3 over host Cincy at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Ariz.<\/p>\n

Gulf (1\/1)<\/strong> — Only High-Octane Chancers could have been eligible for the $40-even mutuel on winner Tiz Bobby in the opener. Dead-last on your V6 Betting Line in a noncontentious race, but that qualifying 81 in the LifeLiner Speed Column might have been the thing to get in on the action. Certainly a full tank of Sunoco Ultra 93 Octane would have been helpful. <\/p>\n

Sam Houston (1\/1)<\/strong> — Top LifeLiner Spread Column analysis horse You Funny Man (82) won the opener at $30.40. Race not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers almost surely had him.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (1\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Sibernation (85, 96) got the gate-to-wire shocker to win the opener by half a length at $28.60. The 6-5 fave, who ran dead last, seemed legit (well, the Betting Line said so; but LifeLiner said ‘no way, Jossie!’), but this is a good example of how the High-Octane Chancers can do some serious bodily injury to their fellow horseplayers. <\/p>\n

Oaklawn (1\/1)<\/strong> — Publicly touted Sword of David (third-listed Second Bonkersmate in Race 6) won at $28.20. ’Sword was a first-timer in a hellaciously wide-open field, and he flashed a connection-line readout of 21pc\/14pc\/16pc — more than good enough. <\/p>\n

PennNat (1\/½)<\/strong> — Hoo-boy. Here we go. The race was textbook-contentious, the Betting Line a nebulous and half-formed thing. But Bemois third on that Betting Line, Fair Odds of 6-1; however, there was no LifeLiner corroboration on Bemois. Result: a plain-old, old-fashioned Winning Thoroughbred Strategies<\/em>-style longshot: $63.80. Half a get.<\/p>\n

Santa Anita (0\/0)<\/strong> — Jakers keep it respectable, hold visiting Atlanta’s margin of victory to 29 pts.; Kyle Korver, still in the league, goes 4-for-4 from 3-pt. range for the Hawks.<\/p>\n

Sunland (2\/½)<\/strong> — Same sitch as the PennNat scenario: No LifeLiner support for Mystic Who in Race 8, but he was top of the Betting Line in a contentious race. He paid $25.40. Half a get.<\/p>\n

Tampa (1\/0)<\/strong> — Lightning, atop Atlantic Division, host Carolina Saturday.<\/p>\n

Turfway (2\/1)<\/strong> — Publicly touted Second Bonkersmate City Classic, co-top on the V6 Betting Line and top of the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis with a 90 there, posted the $87.80 toteboard-detonator in the finale. Mark ’im up! <\/p>\n
