1-nil to The Arsenal<\/p><\/div>\n

Silent Stan’s not saying anything here, but he did take in his Gunners’ 4-nil thrashing of relegated ’Villa at The Emirates today. And, yes, Happy St. Totteringham’s Day now, given Spuds’ shambolic 1-5 drubbing by similarly relegated Newcastle. Final table: Leicester City on 81 pts., The Arse on 71, Spuds on 70. So, right, Arse are crowned First Losers of England. Chop-chop, lads!<\/p>\n

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

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

Arlington (1\/ 1\/23<\/sup>)<\/strong> — Not amongst the Fair Odds firsters on the V6 Betting Line, but Pura Lica, $51.40 in a noncontentious finale, had a sufficient connection-line readout of 14pc\/14pc\/N\/A and probably would have been worth a quid for the highest-octane of High-Octane Chancers; an eighth of a get.<\/p>\n

Assiniboia (0\/0)<\/strong> — Three people shot inside vehicle on Magnus Ave. in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

Belmont (2\/2)<\/strong> — Race 5 went to the publicly top-touted Frosti Agosti, $70-even. The race was contentious, and ’Frosti had the white-hot and best 87 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he ran to that characterization, clear nearly all the way around before nearly losing his nerve. All’s well that ends well, however, and ’Frosti had a win by a clean neck. Race 8 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers would have been on Strike Charmer, owner of a sufficient 82 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; ’Charmer ran to his characterization (complete LifeLiner array: 63-74-82), closing hard to win by 2¼ at $20-straight. Good work.<\/p>\n

Churchill (0\/0)<\/strong> — New York police are searching for a missing Columbia Univ. student from Louisville.<\/p>\n

Emerald (0\/0)<\/strong> — Mariners again choke away multiple-run 9th inning lead to visiting Anaheim, lose 9-7; Seattle closer Steve Cishek suffered his second blown save in two nights.<\/p>\n

Evangeline (1\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Win Lion Win (80, 85) won Race 8 by a clean head at $21.20; the race was contentious, so not only High-Octane Chancers would have been in on him.<\/p>\n

Finger (2\/0)<\/strong> — Canandaigua man, who changed his name to Darth Vader, needs new leg.<\/p>\n

Fairmount (0\/0)<\/strong> — See Santa Anita commentary.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> — Giants beat host Arizona, 5-3; Hunter Pence hit his 6th HR of the season in the win.<\/p>\n

Gulf (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Marlins slam Nats, 7-1; Florida’s Marcell Ozuna went 3-for-5 with a triple and 2 RBI.<\/p>\n

Hastings (1\/0)<\/strong> — Whistler residents warned after 8 mumps cases reported.<\/p>\n

Indiana (0\/0)<\/strong> — Pacers finalizing deal to promote Nate McMillan to head-coaching post.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (0\/0)<\/strong> — See Emerald commentary.<\/p>\n

Louisiana (1\/0)<\/strong> — Shreveport Dept. of Water & Sewage has lifted yesterday’s voluntary boil advisory.<\/p>\n

Lone Star (2\/2)<\/strong> — Publicly touted Pop Song had the strong 92 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis in Race 3; he went coast-to-coast to win by a clean half-length at $24-even. In Race 8, A.P. Bling had the unbeatable 99 on the LifeLiner Speed Column in a race among evenly-matched experienceds; ’ Bling won by 2¾ and paid $27.80 up top. Good work.<\/p>\n

Mountain (2\/0)<\/strong> — Rock legends Foreigner, local high schoolers perform in concert at Mountaineer.<\/p>\n

Monmouth (1\/1)<\/strong> — Not a contentious race, but the 7th had the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis-eligible Giant Finish (86) pressing hard throughout before persevering to a half-length win at $29.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Northlands (0\/0)<\/strong> — Wildfires cause poor air quality in Edmonton.<\/p>\n

PennNat (1\/1)<\/strong> — The opener went to Wild Willy Dean, $20.20; the race was not deemed contentious, but ’Willy had the field-best 93 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis, and he ran accordingly, leading all the way before nearly getting caught late, hanging on by a grim half-length. Good work.<\/p>\n

Keystone (0\/0)<\/strong> — Fightin’ Phils win again, defeat visiting Cincinnati, 4-3; Odubel Herrera went 2-for-4 with 2 RBI and his 4th HR of the season in the win.<\/p>\n

Pimlico (1\/0)<\/strong> — Host Orioles crush Detroit, 9-3; Jonathan Schoop had 5 RBI and 2 HR, one of them a grand slam. <\/p>\n

Prairie (0\/0)<\/strong> — Police say a man is in critical condition after being shot multiple times in Waterloo.<\/p>\n

Santa Anita (0\/0)<\/strong> — Dodgers get 5-3 home win over St. Louis; Kenley Jansen recorded the final out, lowering his ERA to 0.59 and earning his 13th save of the season.<\/p>\n

SunRay (1\/1)<\/strong> — Not a contentious race, Race 6, but New Nature had a fine 87 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he did not run to that style, but he prevailed anyway, but a clean neck, at $26.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Thistle (2\/1)<\/strong> — Can’t Get Enough took a contentious Race 5 at $20.20; he had Dual Qualifier status (95, 94) and pretty much ran gate-to-wire to win by a clean half-length. Good work.<\/p>\n

Woodbine (3\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Blue Jays rally for 3 in 9th to tie Texas at 5-all, then lose in 10, 6-5; Justin Smoak and Troy Tulowitzki had back-to-back HRs in that 9th inning.<\/p>\n

The WRD (2\/0)<\/strong> — Pepper balls used to force wanted man out of Tulsa motel attic.<\/p>\n
