One and done…no good, Chollie, no good…<\/p><\/div>\n

Back at the champeen’s podium now, Podium No. 1. Thank you for waiting. Set phasers to stun. Shoot lasers, right-thumb! <\/p>\n

It takes some craziness to say you have played at all three podiums\/podia. Hard to do! Nutskull!<\/p>\n

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

Belmont<\/strong> 4, 6, 7, 9<\/em>
\nGulfstream Park Proper<\/strong> 1, 8, 9<\/em>
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 8<\/p>\n

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

BelTerra<\/strong> 1, 2, 4<\/em>, 6, 7<\/em>, 8<\/em>
\nChurchill<\/strong> 1, 5<\/em>, 6, 7<\/em>, 8<\/em>, 9<\/em>
\nGolden Gate<\/strong> 7<\/em>
\nLaurel<\/strong> 1<\/em>, 2<\/em>, 5<\/em>, 9<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Churchill 9<\/strong> on the pay-side. Next race there<\/strong>, and #8 Buy Sell Hold<\/strong> should be OK.<\/p>\n

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

Belmont (1\/0)<\/strong> — Host Jankees beat Toronto, 8-6, move into first place in AL East; Aaron Judge went 3-for-5 with a solo HR, his 13th (!) of the season for Nueva Jork.<\/p>\n

Churchill (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 8 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads saluted Lieutenant Seany O, second-best 97 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by a clean nose at $21.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (1\/½)<\/strong> — Old-School Champeens alone were in on top selection Schlosser, Fair Odds of 2½-1 in a contentious Race 7; he won clear by 2½ at $20.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Gulf (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Marlins beat Tampa Bay in all-Fla. clash, 10-6; J.T. Realmuto drove-in 4 for the winners.<\/p>\n

Indiana (0\/0)<\/strong> — Indpls. mayor declares Thursday ‘Star Wars Day’.<\/p>\n

Thistle (4\/4)<\/strong> — Race 5 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads talked turkey with Dual Qualifier Bosphorous Storm (81, 83); he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by 1½ at $22.40. Race 6 also was contentious, but again only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads tasted the nectar of Dual Qualifier Honey Smacks (91, 84); she rallied like the champion she should have been, winning by a clean head at $29.40. Race 7 also was contentious, but all comers put a ring around Blingitonagain, Fair Odds of 3-1 and a Dual Qualifier (91, 95), to boot; he went gate-to-wire to win by a clean neck at $25.80. The $1 pick 3 paid $1,497. Race 8 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads envisioned the winner’s circle photo containing Shutter Shock, 87 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by 3 parts of a length at $52.40. The $1 daily double paid $178.60, the $1 pick 3 paid $3,536.50; the 50¢ pick 4 paid off on 3-of-4, $229.15. Good work.<\/p>\n
