\"Gifts!\"<\/a>

Fine Gifts for the Soulful Trivia Junkie...<\/p><\/div>\n

So, the great puzzlemeister Will Shortz is quoted on the cover of the 2012 World Almanac and Book of Facts<\/em>. His blurb: “My #1 reference work for facts.” I wonder how his overlords at NYT<\/em> feel about it, seeing as how the NYT<\/em> itself publishes a fine almanac. Hmmmmm…<\/p>\n

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

Aqueduct<\/strong> 1, 4, 8<\/p>\n

Look out, ol’ Aqi’s back!<\/Bobby Darin><\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: Week<\/a>. Weekend<\/a>. Today…<\/p>\n

Turfway<\/strong> 2, 4, 7
\nTampa<\/strong> 2, 6, 7, 9
\nFair Grounds<\/strong> 1, 8, 9
\nHawthorne<\/strong> 7, 8, 10
\nTurf Paradise<\/strong> 1, 6, 7, 8<\/p>\n

Top prospects today on Bell Rd. in Phoenix, Ariz.<\/p>\n

WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Speed
\nChas. Town 6½f
\nPortland 6f
\nTurfway 6f
\nTurf Paradise 5½f, 6f<\/p>\n

Desert-baked caliche back in full effect at the Sunbelt ’Turf.<\/p>\n

Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: Delta<\/strong>’s seventh<\/strong> (9:29 p.m. EST \/ 6:29 p.m. PST) finds #4 Smackover Prospect<\/strong> with a puncher’s chance. …Over to PennNat<\/strong> for Race 3<\/strong> (6:49 \/ 3:49) and #8 Book Value<\/strong> is your Benjamin Graham\/Warren Buffet-inspired stab. …<\/p>\n

Thank you. Best wishes. So long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
