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

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

Aqueduct (3\/3)<\/strong> — Race 5 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a chance with My Good Venezuela, a barely qualifying 80 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she had to rally before taking over at the furlong-grounds and winning by 1 at $22.60. In Race 6, also contentious, all players had debutante Catcher in the Sky, Fair Odds of 4-1 and with a connection-line\/slashline readout of 27pc\/22pc\/33pc; she went gate-to-wire to win by 4½ at $21.80. Race 7 was another contentious one, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had Pussy Willow, a low-end 82 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she had to rally — but hard, too! — before winning by 2 at $28.80. As well, the natural double covering Races 5 and 6 paid $307.50 (for $2); the natural double covering Races 6 and 7 paid $325.50 (also for $2); and the pick-3 for your Races 5, 6 and 7 paid $7,503-even (again for $2). Good work.<\/p>\n

Churchill (1\/0)<\/strong> — Construction on Ohio River Bridges Downtown Crossing complete.<\/p>\n

Calder (1\/1)<\/strong> — Dual Qualifier Famous Fact (97, 84) was good for High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads in a noncontentious Race 2; he went gate-to-wire to win by a clean neck at $22-straight. Good work.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (0\/0)<\/strong> — I-81 wreck causes delays.<\/p>\n

Delta (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 7 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a pulse on Night Parade, who had an eking-out rating on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she had to rally, though, winning by 1 at $23.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Del Mar (2\/0)<\/strong> — SWAT situation in El Cajon.<\/p>\n

Finger (1\/1)<\/strong> — The finale was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had an OK 88 on the LifeLiner Speed Column on Wise Guide; he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by a clean neck at $34.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Warriors trounce Boston, 104-88; The City’s Klay Thompson led all scorers with 28 pts.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 2 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a barely sufficient 81 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis on Shaker Maker, who went gate-to-wire to win by 1¼ at $95.60. Good work.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Clippers beat Sac’to, Northern Cal., Sac’to, Northern Cal., 121-115; Blake Griffin had 29 pts. for La-La Land.<\/p>\n

Laurel (1\/0)<\/strong> — Host Capitals blank Detroit, 1-nil; Braden Holtby turned-back all 25 shots on the Wash., D.C., goal.<\/p>\n

PennNat (1\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Penguins edge Bklyn., 3-2, in OT; Kris Letang scored the gamewinner.<\/p>\n

Retama (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 5 was contentious, and Precious Play had a field-best 84 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis for the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads; however, she had to rally like the champion she’s on her way to becoming, winning by 3 parts of a length at $25.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Remington (3\/1)<\/strong> — Finally, one for the Old-School Champeens, courtesy of Look At It, Fair Odds of 5-1, in a contentious Race 5; he won by 2½ at $21.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Woodbine (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 8 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a fine 87 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis on Badjeros Boy, who rallied to win by a clean half-length at $21.50. Good work.<\/p>\n
