3-1 to the Arsenal<\/p><\/div>\n

Here’s Alex Iwobi (17) beating Stoke keeper Lee Grant all ends up to seal a 3-1 win for the Gunners at The Emirates. <\/p>\n

Piers — such a posh name: Piers! — Morgan is truly a headscratching bloke. He suffers cerebral hemorrhages every other day on SOcial MEdia over Arsène Wenger’s handling of the Arsenal, frequently calling for his sacking at even the slightest missteps; yet Piers certainly enjoys licking Don Trump Sr.’s boots every chance he gets, just because. Piers should go hack Trump’s phones; we hear Piers is good at hacking phones. Let’s see what he finds. As well, in this situation, we might have a Baptists & Bootleggers Coalition between ourselves and the NRA, actually. We admit it. If the NRA would like to show Piers how to handle firearms up-close, and should some Dick Cheney-type accident just happen to cause bodily injury to Piers, well, we would shed nary a tear. <\/p>\n

Gasp! How insensitive! Such incompassion! That said, we now admit that we do have some lack of patience when it comes to a select few of our fellow human beings. Yea, verily, we presently acknowledge our shortcomings in this area — sad, but true. However, it is a fact — really!<\/p>\n

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

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

Aqueduct (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Blueshirt Rangers edge Chicagoland, 1-nil, in OT; Nueva Jork’s Antti Raanta stopped all 26 shots he faced.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (0\/0)<\/strong> — Berkeley Co. sheriff’s deputy on administrative leave after inappropri3\/ate communication.<\/p>\n

Delta (1\/0)<\/strong> — 3 shot at Lake Chas. nightclub.<\/p>\n

Fair Grounds (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 7 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads could see Fort Rally living up to her name, courtesy of his good 84 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she ran on in the final furlong to win by 1 at $33.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (2\/1)<\/strong> — Lucky in Race 4, but only for the High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads. Shari had a fine 92 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis in a noncontentious race; she rallied hard but fell short by a dirty head. However, the horse crossing the wire first was disqualified and Shari paid $33.60 to win. Good work.<\/p>\n

Gulf (4\/1)<\/strong> — Race 10 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads could feast on the haute cuisine<\/em> provided by Fried Baloney, the field-best rating on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; however, he had to rally like crazy to win by 2¼ at $23.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Hawthorne (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 7 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads took the ride on the Rickshaw Express, a field-best 91 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he was a stalking-horse throughout, winning by 1½ at $20.60. Good work.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos Nighttime (0\/0)<\/strong> — Host Ducks edge San Jose, 3-2; Hampus Lindholm’s first goal of the season was the gamewinner.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos Thoroughbreds (2\/0)<\/strong> — See Los Alamitos Nighttime commentary.<\/p>\n

Laurel (1\/0)<\/strong> — Capitals cruise at Buffalo, 4-1; T.J. Oshie had a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n

PennNat (3\/1)<\/strong> — Race 4 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a powwow with Dual Qualifier Siena Indian (94, 96); he went gate-to-wire to win by 1 at $28-even. Good work.<\/p>\n

Remington (3\/0)<\/strong> — Host Thunder edged by Houston, 102-99; Russell Westbrook had his 7th straight triple-double (27-10-10) for OKC.<\/p>\n

Tampa (1\/0)<\/strong> — Magic trounced at Charlotte, 109-88; Evan Fournier led Orlando with 14 pts.<\/p>\n
