Matinee melee<\/p><\/div>\n

Bad blood a blot on Bailey’s birthday yesterday. Here, the Los Angeles Kings’ Kris Versteeg (10) and the Anaheim Ducks’ Richard Rakell trade blows. <\/p>\n

Among the mascots on hand to celebrate with Bailey: Stanley C. Panther from the Florida Panthers; Sparky the Dragon from the New York Islanders; and the Swinging Friar from the San Diego Padres. Plus some Laker Girls and the unnamed Dodger mascot, herein called ‘Dodger Guy’. As for the ice hockey, the Ducks edged the Kings, 3-2, to go top of the Pacific Division; the Ducks are now 3-1 against the Kings this season.<\/p>\n

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

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

Aqueduct (1\/0)<\/strong> — Knickerbockers down visiting Pistons, 102-89; Carmelo Anthony scores a game-high 24 pts. for the victors.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (2\/1)<\/strong> — Not a contentious race, the fourth, but Island Sunset had the qualifying 82 in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis (complete LifeLiner array: 60-61-82), and he ran to that characterization, closing like crazy for the win by a clean neck at $20-even.<\/p>\n

Delta (0\/0)<\/strong> — Pelicans lose at home to Jazz, 106-94; Anthony Davis had a game-high 29 pts. for New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Fair Grounds (2\/1)<\/strong> — Hoo-boy. Here we go. Race 10 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers would have made the play on Pinson, owner of the sufficient 84 in the LifeLiner Spread Column (complete LifeLiner array: 98-89-62), especially at his real-life odds of 60¢ shy of 40-1. Pinson went gate-to-wire to prevail by a resolute half-length at $80.80-straight. High-Octane Chancers rule!<\/p>\n

Fonner (2\/1)<\/strong> — Another noncontentious race, and another winnable opportunity for the High-Octane Chancers. Race 3 had Myperfectsoulmate registering the top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis number in the field; as well, he married that (note: see what we did there?) with Dual Qualifier status. Myperfectsoulmate broke maiden today at $21 up top.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> — Sharks get doubled-up at home against Canucks, 4-2; Vancouver’s Jacob Markstrom stopped 32 of 34 shots faced.<\/p>\n

Gulf (3\/2)<\/strong> — Blofeld was the Bond Villain in Race 11: a $21.40 winner in a noncontentious race. Blofeld, a Dual Qualifier (88, 82) was well within the grasp of the High-Octane Chancers. In the next race, publicly touted Grand Tito, top of the Betting Line and a Dual Qualifier (80, 80), came through at $20.40, with the natural double returning $243.80. As always, hope you had ’em. <\/p>\n

Sam Houston (1\/0)<\/strong> — Rockets lose on the road to Chicago, 108-100; James Harden had 36 for Houston.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (0\/0)<\/strong> — Also among the winning Orange Co. (Calif.) professional sports teams: Anaheim, 9-7 over Seattle, in the Cactus League Baseball; Halo leadoff batter Andrelton Simmons went hitless in 3 at-bats, striking out twice.<\/p>\n

Mahoning (1\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Another Story, $21 upsetter of Race 3, was a Dual Qualifier in a noncontentious race. Complete LifeLiner array: 98-97-96, and he ran to that characterization, going gate-to-wire to win by 2½. Again, no public touting because of a seemingly too-strong top selection; however, High-Octane Chancers don’t care about such arbitrary labels. They most likely are correct in doing so.<\/p>\n

Oaklawn (0\/0)<\/strong> — Razorbacks trounced at home by Gamecocks in men’s hoopball; Dusty Hannahs had 16 pts. in the loss.<\/p>\n

PennNat (1\/1)<\/strong> — The recurring theme today: noncontentious race, unfancied runner with support from the LifeLiner Speed Column or LifeLiner Spread Column (or both), the unfancied runner wins anyway. Here was Let the Saints in the seventh, a very good 87 in the LifeLiner Speed Column despite being ignored on the conventional V6 Betting Line. Let the Saints was bodily assumed into the winner’s circle, leaving behind a $23 mutuel to his faithful in Grantville, Penna.<\/p>\n

Keystone (3\/1)<\/strong> — In the finale, Just a Taste had the top LifeLiner Spread Column number in the field, a contentious field with equally troubled firsters and experienceds, and Just a Taste won accordingly: in front all the way en route to a 1¾-length win at $23.80.<\/p>\n

Santa Anita (3\/0)<\/strong> — Dodgers trounce D’backs in Cactus League action; Japanese import Kenta Maeda started for Los Angeles and threw 2 shutout innings. <\/p>\n

Sunland (2\/1½)<\/strong> — Both winners were makeable. Firster Seams Discreet was fine on his connection-line readout (16pc\/17pc\/20pc), and was lodged in a contentious lineup with equally shaky experienceds and debut issues. In the nightcap ninth, Pro Polly was a straightforward ‘B’ Horse in the contentious Betting Line setup, Fair Odds of 6-1. Pro Polly won at $68.20 for the classical-overlay players. Half a get on her.<\/p>\n

Tampa (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 9 had publicly touted Bonkersmate Sequiota prevailing at $21. The race was contentious, and Sequiota had a fine 85 in the LifeLiner Speed Column. <\/p>\n

Turfway (0\/0)<\/strong> — Wildcats trounce Ben Simmons & Louisiana St., 94-77, in men’s hoopball; Jamal Murray led Kentucky with 22 pts.<\/p>\n

Turf Paradise (1\/0)<\/strong> — Host Coyotes thrash Panthers, 5-1; Alex Tanguay scored twice for the winners.<\/p>\n
