Good morning along the Left Coast here. Everywhere else on the continent, good afternoon this time. Good afternoon now. <\/p>\n

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

Aqueduct<\/strong> 3, 7, 12<\/em>

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Santa Anita 4<\/strong>, 6<\/strong>, 8<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. Keeneland 6<\/strong>, 7<\/strong>, 8<\/strong>, Oaklawn 8<\/strong> on the pay-side. <\/p>\n

Should be OK for #4 Long Haul Bay<\/strong> in Aqueduct 6<\/strong>. Likewise the obvious #5 Miss Sky Warrior<\/strong> in the 11th<\/strong> there.<\/p>\n

More chalk coming in Fonner 10<\/strong>, with #7 Witt Stamp<\/strong> being the choice.<\/p>\n

On the other hoof, #4 Lady Valeur<\/strong> emerges as a live fifth-choice on the morning-line in Santa Anita 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Thanks for your patience and understanding — had to self-deport for a couple of days and scout out some prime construction sites in the Borderland area. Tomorrow’s (Sunday’s) edition of ‘First Post’ on this here Weblog will include a recap of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday’s action. Bring some NoDoz®<\/sup> and a can of Red Bull®<\/sup> to chase ’em down. Skol! <\/p>\n
