Serena’s S(tr)ong<\/p><\/div>\n

Sister Venus also won one for the U.S.A. (U.S.A.! U.S.A.!) on this Fourth of July. Where’s all the tweets from the politicos? <\/p>\n

Tennis a true free-market athletic competition, unlike Amurrikan Gridiron Throwball or hoopball or even fútbol del mundo<\/em>. Cronies and so-called officials can really determine the outcomes in those games. Calls and penalties for hire, anyone?!<\/p>\n

Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n

Belmont<\/strong> 7, 10<\/em>
\nGulfstream Park Proper<\/strong> 3, 4, 8
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 9<\/p>\n

Pay-side (Weekday<\/a>\/Weekend<\/a>)<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Delpark<\/strong> 2, 3, 5<\/em>
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 1
\nLaurel<\/strong> 2, 3<\/em>, 4, 5<\/em>, 6<\/em>, 8<\/em>, 10
\nLone Star<\/strong> 3, 8<\/em>, 10<\/em>
\nMonmouth<\/strong> 8<\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Gulf 8<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. Monmouth 8<\/strong> on the pay-side.<\/p>\n

Arapahoe<\/strong> (!) 8<\/strong> now, and we sidestep the morning-line choice and go instead with #8 Banker Bob<\/strong>, #9 Ima Happy Strike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Open in Canterbury 4<\/strong>, with #5 Smooth Stroke<\/strong> among the living.<\/p>\n

Wild-open in Keystone 8<\/strong>, wild-open. #2 Devilwentogeorgia<\/strong> will try to go back-to-back with his longshot jacks. Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough! God bless Amurrika!<\/p>\n

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

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

Albuquerque (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 8 was contentious, and Dan the Con Man had a competitive 83 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. He however did not go gate-to-wire or anything resembling that; rather, he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by a clean neck at $23.20.<\/p>\n

Arlington (1\/0)<\/strong> — Cubs brutalized by host Metropolitans, 14-3; Willson Contreras hit a solo HR, his 4th of the season, for Chicagoland.<\/p>\n

Chippewa (0\/0)<\/strong> — Man wanted for Minot murder arrested in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Ellis Park (2\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Ivy’s College Fund (86, 94) was that rare commodity in early-season 2-year-old maiden races: a flasher of entire-race talent! She went gate-to-wire to win by 11¾ at $20-even. Good work.<\/p>\n

Emerald (1\/0)<\/strong> — Mariners beat visiting Balto., 9-4; Seth Smith had a grand slam for Seattle.<\/p>\n

Fort Erie (2\/1)<\/strong> — Elmo Shrugs tickled the fancy of all types of players: High-Octane Chancers, Old-School Champeens and Progressive-Minded Eggheads. He was at Fair Odds of even-money on the conventional V6 Betting Line in Race 6, plus he was one of ’em Dual Qualifiers (88, 83). He went gate-to-wire to win by 6¾ at $29.30. Good work.<\/p>\n

Grants Pass (0\/0)<\/strong> — Medford police looking for suspect.<\/p>\n

Hastings (2\/1)<\/strong> — Debut-issue Fifer, top of the contentious, conventional V6 Betting Line, had the sufficient connection-line readout of 15pc\/17pc\/18pc; he went gate-to-wire to win by a clean neck at $22.10.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (1\/0)<\/strong> — Los Angeles de Los Angeles of Anaheim lose at Boston, 10-5; Yunel Escobar had 4 hits and 2 RBIs for Orange Co.<\/p>\n

Lethbridge (0\/0)<\/strong> — Severe thunderstorm watches, warnings in place across Alta.<\/p>\n

Laurel (1\/0)<\/strong> — Orioles trounced at Seattle, 9-4; Mark Trumbo hit his 24th HR on the season for Balto.<\/p>\n

Lone Star (1\/0)<\/strong> — See Canterbury commentary.<\/p>\n

Mountain (3\/1)<\/strong> — A grim Race 5 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers saw the tragic-but-nontheless-sufficient 72 on the LifeLiner Speed Column on Copper Coins; he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by 1 at $23.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Monmouth (0\/0)<\/strong> — Boil-water advisory for 4 towns after water-main break.<\/p>\n

Keystone (1\/0)<\/strong> — Fightin’ Phils whip visiting K.C., 7-2; Philalala HRs for Cameron Rupp, Cody Asche and Maikel Franco.<\/p>\n
