Town (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Short Hill Kit Kat somehow had exactly 18 characters (including spaces) in its name, won the second at a similarly long 18-1 ($38.40). The race was contentious, and Short Hill Kit Kat (what a great name, if only because it&rsquo;s not all compressed into one string; thank you!) had a fine 92 in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Delta (1\/&frac12;)<\/strong> &mdash; Contentious race, Race 3, and Pick On Me had no backing LifeLiner Speed or Spread Column analysis numbers; however, the wide-open conventional V6 Betting Line put him at Fair Odds of 6-1, and Pick On Me did OK, winning at $24-even. Half a get for the Old School Playas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Grounds (1\/&frac12;)<\/strong> &mdash; Same scenario as at Delta, except in a noncontentious race: Fair Odds of 6-1 on Custom Made Ready, your winner in the opener at $32.20. Also winning in an upset was Tulane men&rsquo;s hoopball in the Opening Round of The American Athleta ic Conference tourney. Next up for the Green Wave, a Death March into Paws of The Mighty Cougars of Houston (22-8).
