Respectively, they are<strong> Races 8<\/strong> &#038; <strong>10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before those two, the <strong>fifth<\/strong> is the <strong>Grade I Flower Bowl<\/strong>. In it, <strong>#8 Stacelita<\/strong> will take some beating. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Race 11<\/strong> at the <strong>Calder<\/strong> is the Cassidy, and it&rsquo;s also on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/pick.html\">free<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>Before that there, it&rsquo;s the <strong>eighth<\/strong>, the <strong>Birdonthewire<\/strong>, and <strong>#2 Hello Prince<\/strong> looks legit.<\/p>\n<p>Open in the <strong>eighth<\/strong> at <strong>Delpark<\/strong>, the<strong> Blue Hen<\/strong>, where <strong>#5 Filare l&rsquo;Oro<\/strong> can outrun her 15-1 (!) on the morning line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/mm5\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=THS&#038;Product_Code=WLL&#038;Category_Code=INFO\">Pay-side<\/a> joy in <strong>Laurel<\/strong>&rsquo;s <strong>fourth<\/strong>, <strong>fifth<\/strong> and <strong>sixth<\/strong>, the <strong>Distaff<\/strong>, <strong>Distaff Starter<\/strong> and the <strong>Nursery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Complimentary longshot in the <strong>seventh<\/strong> there, the <strong>Ladies<\/strong>: <strong>#10 Vera Belle<\/strong>. Also open in the <strong>ninth<\/strong>, the <strong>Turf<\/strong>, where <strong>#1 Irish Lion<\/strong> may yet roar. Finally, <strong>Race 11<\/strong> is the <strong>Starter<\/strong>, where <strong>#6 Please Sir<\/strong> receives multiple confirmations.    <\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, with six live (read: playable) races at the Oak Tree today, you&rsquo;d guess more than one of them would be a stakes. But you&rsquo;d be incorrect! As Trebek would say in his inimitable Ontarian way, &ldquo;Oooh&#8230;surrie&rdquo;. Aha! <strong>#1 Blind Luck<\/strong> seems too strong in the <strong>sixth<\/strong>, the <strong>Grade I Lady&rsquo;s Secret<\/strong>. However, it&rsquo;s really wide open in the <strong>10th<\/strong>, the <strong>Grade I Yellow Ribbon<\/strong>. Catch that one on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiapublishing.com\/pick.html\">free<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>Woodbine<\/strong>, <strong>Race 4<\/strong> is the Victorian Queen, and <strong>#5 Notacloudinthesky<\/strong> appears prohibitive.<\/p>\n<p>Potential upsets in the Hoosier headliners. First is the 11th, the <strong>Grade II Indy Oaks<\/strong>. Straight-up call to <strong>#5 Withgreatpleasure<\/strong>. The next race at that place is the <strong>Grade II Indy Derby<\/strong>, and <strong>#3 Little Drama<\/strong> is poised to create a big one, 12-1 on your morning line! As well in the longshot frame is <strong>#2 Decisive Moment<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Chalk-lovers can seek refuge in the <strong>eighth<\/strong> at <strong>Keystone<\/strong>, the <strong>Brandywine<\/strong>, an erstwhile chariot-racing plant near Wilmington, Del. <strong>#1 Say a Novena<\/strong> should prove pleasing to the ears of the racing gods.<\/p>\n<p>Absolute madness on the other side of the Commonwealth today, and it starts in the <strong>seventh<\/strong> at <strong>Presque<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s the <strong>Deubtante<\/strong>, and <strong>#11 Blue Forty<\/strong> is as worthy as any of the others. The <strong>eighth<\/strong> is the <strong>Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Juvy<\/strong>; we go with <strong>#5 Mr. Prankster<\/strong>. Rounding out the Western Penna. stakes trio is the <strong>ninth<\/strong>, the <strong>H.P.B.A<\/strong>, where <strong>#6 Fugitive Angel<\/strong> is not a lost cause.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <strong>B Cup Races<\/strong> are going on at <strong>Lethbridge<\/strong> in Canada.
