Similarly, nearly half the field was on-debut in Race 4; nevertheless, if you were cavalier about this \u2014 and, hey, why not?! \u2014 then #9 West Saratoga (.414 \/ 1.42 \/ 1.90) was fit for consumption at $9.82.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Going to Bossier City, La., now for their Race 2; in it, #1 Norah G (.114 \/ 7.77 \/ 11.28) got the W at $44.80.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Oceanport, N.J., there were a couple first-timers in Race 3, but if they did not deter you, then #1 Madame Mischief (.326 \/ 2.07 \/ 2.68) was OK at $9.20.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Race 2 at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., had seven firsters, but only the high-octane chancers &amp; other assorted low-affect daredevils bought the ticket and took the winning ride with #11 Just Steel (.787 \/ 0.27 \/ 0.52) at $12.80. Then in Race 5 there, #10 Straight Arrow (.219 \/ 3.57 \/ 4.48) hit the target (lazy wordsmithing there, but really how else could you have cast this?) at $11.80. In the ill-fated Race 8 there (R.I.P., Maple Leaf Mel; your death was not in vain; your valor will never be forgotten), #1 Pretty Mischievous (.417 \/ 1.40 \/ 1.88) won at $5.70, 6\u00a2 under the premium price; we do not blame you for taking that chance, obviously \u2014 we report, you decide. Race 10 saw #5 White Abarrio (.181 \/ 4.52 \/ 6.73) in-the-black at $22.40; completing your winning $79-even exacta was #1 Zandon (.256 \/ 2.91 \/ 3.69) \u2014 the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) was $63.12. Next race there, the 11th, had #7 Everso Mischievous (.297 \/ 2.37 \/ 3.04) and #1 Cape Trafalgar (.128 \/ 6.81 \/ 9.94) combining on your winning $75.50 exacta whose premium price was $66.51. Finally, Race 12 concluded your eventful card, and #6 Fair Dinkum (.270 \/ 2.70 \/ 3.44) scored the honest upset at $33.80; your winning $174-even exacta was completed by #12 Beuys (.121 \/ 7.26 \/ 10.57), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $79.60. On various levels, quite a day up there.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, from Etobicoke Int\u2019l., #7 Might Bee Speedy (.310 \/ 2.23 \/ 2.87) surely was sufficiently so in the opener at $16-even. Later, #8 Taradar (.261 \/ 2.83 \/ 3.60) took the fifth at an unimpeachable $28.60.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Nightcap<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chas.
