Fine story for your Derby Day. We personally vouch for his persona. This is a menschkeit<\/em>. If possible, seek him out. When you meet him, tell him, ‘The Stone Temple Primates are eligible bachelors’. You’ll be friends for life. <\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Belmont 11<\/strong>, Santa Anita 10<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. On the pay-side it’s BelTerra 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Probably OK for #1 Wings Locked Up<\/strong> in Canterbury 6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Open in Evangeline 8<\/strong>, and we tiptoe around the morning-line fave, preferring #4 Magic Vow<\/strong> and #1 Paddy O’Lionel<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

Fonner 10<\/strong> is contentious, with #3 Expect to Fly<\/strong>, #7 My Crazy Dayse<\/strong> and #6 She’sabrees<\/strong> emerging as live-longshot-type plays.<\/p>\n

The ultra-obvious #5 Pink Lloyd<\/strong> looks too tough in Woodbine 8<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Finally, half a dozen today at Churchill. <\/p>\n

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

Track (No. of Actual $20+ Win Mutuels\/Gettable)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arlington (0\/0)<\/strong> — Host Cubs falter, pipped by Jankees at the wire, 3-2; Chicagoland’s runs came via solo HRs by Kris Bryant, his sixth of the season, and Kyle Schwarber, his fifth.<\/p>\n

Belmont (1\/0)<\/strong> — See Arlington commentary.<\/p>\n

BelTerra (2\/2)<\/strong> — The opener was contentious, and Old-School Champeens and High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads alike had the goods on Consorts Ring, Fair Odds of 3-1 and an OK 82 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; she went gate-to-wire to win by 3¼ at $22-even. Race 3 was contentious, and debut-issue Maximus Obsession, Fair Odds of 5-1 and with a connection-line\/slashline readout of 11pc\/10pc\/N\/A, was open to all comers; he raced ribcage-to-wire to win by 4½ at $45.60. Good work.<\/p>\n

Canterbury (1\/1)<\/strong> — Race 5 2 was contentious amongst the experienceds, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads were in Keats Corner, 85 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he went mane-to-wire to win by 3 parts of a length at $27.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Churchill (3\/1)<\/strong> — Race 9 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads struck with Dual Qualifier Task Force Glory (94, 84); he rallied like the champion he should have been, winning by 1 at $63.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Chas. Town (1\/0)<\/strong> — Berkeley Co. property-and-casualty insurance premiums rise by nearly 6pc.<\/p>\n

Emerald (0\/0)<\/strong> — Host Mariners lose in 13 inn. to Tejas, 3-1; Robbie Cano’s solo HR was the extent of the Seattle offense.<\/p>\n

Evangeline (0\/0)<\/strong> — Mamou flood victims receive flood-relief boxes.<\/p>\n

Fonner (3\/1)<\/strong> — Race 8 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads had a bead on Panena Tornai, 81 on the LifeLiner Speed Column; she rallied a little to win by 3 at $20.80. Good work.<\/p>\n

Golden Gate (2\/2)<\/strong> — Race 3 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads found a bare-minimum 80 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis on the Cinco de Mayo-appropriate Tequilaslovebandit; he was a stalking-horse throughout, winning by 2½ at $20.20. Race 5 was not contentious either, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads made the decision on Dual Qualifier Executive Cat (80, 90), who went gate-to-wire to win by 1 at $29.60. Good work.<\/p>\n

Gulf (1\/½)<\/strong> — Only Old-School Champeens had a right to their top pick, Balada, Fair Odds of 1½-1; she won by 5¾ at $43.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Hazel (2\/2)<\/strong> — The opener was contentious, and player of all stripes cashed in on the glitter of Springtime Gold, Fair Odds of 3-1 and 86 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; she went gate-to-wire to win by a clean neck at $20.60. Race 6 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads took a stroll through Arkle Park, 86 on the LifeLiner Spread Column; he went gate-to-wire to win by 2¾ at $20.80. Good work.<\/p>\n

Indiana (2\/1)<\/strong> — Race 4 was contentious, and players of all stripes had the ride on Scooter Bug Bug, Fair Odds of 4½-1 and a good 91 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis; he rallied some to win by a clean head at $31.20. Good work.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos (0\/0)<\/strong> — Well, what can you say about the Anaheim Ducks. You know the score. You know how it happened. Rink history!<\/p>\n

Laurel (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Nats double-up on Philalala, 4-2; Wash., D.C., HR from Ryan Zimmerman (his 12th on the season), Anthony Rendon (4th) and starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (1). <\/p>\n

Lone Star (3\/0)<\/strong> — See Emerald commentary.<\/p>\n

PennNat (1\/0)<\/strong> — See Laurel commentary.<\/p>\n

Prairie (0\/0)<\/strong> — Small bridge near Cresco collapses under weight of grain truck.<\/p>\n

Santa Anita (1\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Dodgers pummel San Diego, 8-2; rookie Cody Bellinger hit 2 HR for La-La Land, bringing his season total to 4.<\/p>\n

Tampa (2\/0)<\/strong> — Host Rays gaffed by Toronto, 8-4; Evan Longoria went 3-for-4 for Tampa Bay, is now batting .221 for your season.<\/p>\n

Thistle (0\/0)<\/strong> — Visiting Indians lose to K.C., 3-1; Juan Encarnacion’s HR, No. 5 on the season, was the entirety of the Cleveland’s offense.<\/p>\n

Turf Paradise (3\/2½)<\/strong> — Race 3 was contentious, but only High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads mixed it up with Dual Qualifier Trouble’smyname (89, 85), who was up-close all the way, winning by 1 at $37.60. Race 7 was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads sought the favor of Abridleandaprayer, 88 on the LifeLiner Speed Column; he was a stalking-horse throughout, winning by a clean head at $22.40. Good work.<\/p>\n

Woodbine (2\/1)<\/strong> — The finale was not contentious, but High-Octane Chancers and Progressive-Minded Eggheads hit the links with Don Trump Sr. and the rest of the Fat Cats on Front Nine, 82 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis; he stayed close to the leaders before winning by 3½ at $36.90. Good work.<\/p>\n
