Slick<\/p><\/div>\n

Edmonton’s Darnell Nurse (25) scored, but his teammate Connor McDavid did not, though the latter did display some deft stickhandling and nimble skatework, in last night’s contest at the arena downtown; La-La Land won, 4-2. <\/p>\n

No anti-Trump protests to report, no outward displays of White Nationalism, either. La-La Land accepting all its citizens. Allahu akbar<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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

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

Aqueduct (1\/1)<\/strong> — Contentious Race 5 for the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads, thanks to Ocala Jim, 88 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied to win by a clean neck at $22.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Churchill (3\/0)<\/strong> — No. 5 Louisville trounced at Houston, 36-10; Cardinals QB Lamar Jackson completed 46pc of his pass attempts.<\/p>\n

Calder (0\/0)<\/strong> — Panthers thrashed at Toronto, 6-1; Aaron Ekblad had the Fla. goal.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 5 was contentious amongst the experienceds, and Lies and Scandals appealed to all players, Fair Odds of 6-1 and a qualifying 81 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she went gate-to-wire anyway, winning by 2½ at $22-even. Good work.<\/p>\n

Delta (2\/1)<\/strong> — Win via DQ in a noncontentious Race 4 via Dancewithaprince, the bare minimum 80 hanging out in his LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he was a forward factor throughout before finishing 4¾ behind the unofficial winner and 3¼ clear of the rest; he was awarded the victory at $35.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Del Mar (1\/0)<\/strong> — Body found in National City canal.<\/p>\n

Finger (1\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Smart Thinking (80, 91) was in a noncontentious Race 5 for the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads; he went gate-to-wire to win by 2½ at $25.80. Good work.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> — Sharks edged at St. Louis, 3-2; Logan Couture and Kevin Labanc with the San Jose goals.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne (2\/2)<\/strong> — Race 7 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads were OK anyway with Dual Qualifier Classy Student (85, 80); she had to rally like the champion she should have been, though, winning by 3 parts of a length at $40.80. In Race 8, contentious this time, only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads could take advantage of Admiral Sean, a field-best 87 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he indeed went gate-to-wire to win by 2 at $37.80. As well, the natural daily double paid $895-straight, for $2. Good work.<\/p>\n

PennNat (2\/0)<\/strong> — Host Flyers beat Winn., 5-2; Philalala’s Sean Couturier had a goal and was named the game’s First Star.<\/p>\n

Remington (0\/0)<\/strong> — Man arrested for throwing rocks at Devon Tower, causing $70k in damage.<\/p>\n
