Prior to this evening\u2019s last-track-standing, it was, in chronological order by first-post-times: Aqueduct, Gulf (a late inclusion once clement conditions there had been confirmed!), Laurel, Oaklawn, Santa Anita, Golden Gate & Delta. So, seven tracks for your Saturday, one more than the going rate \u2014 bonus!<\/p>\n
We begin with Race 7<\/strong> from Ozone<\/strong> (Snowzone?) Park, N.Y.<\/strong>, where #6 Joey Freshwater<\/strong> (.233 Win Prob \/ 3.29-1 Fair Odds \/ 4.15-1 Premium Odds) drank from the Cup of Victory (what?) at $14.20<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hallandale Beach, Fla.<\/strong>, opener<\/strong> was lousy with firsters, so the best of the experienceds, #2 On the Dot<\/strong> (.570 \/ 0.75-1 \/ 1.11-1), ran to that billing and proved punctual at $4.40<\/strong>. In Race 3<\/strong>, #3 Music City Star<\/strong> (.213 \/ 3.69 \/ 5.57) won it for Nashville at $32.60<\/strong>; completing your winning $110.40 exacta<\/strong> was #5 Four Dawn<\/strong> (.224 \/ 3.46 \/ 5.25), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $69.62. Two late scratches in Race 10<\/strong> allowed #3 Ship to Shore<\/strong> (.449 \/ 1.23 \/ 1.67) to sail into low-priced-overlay waters and then land in the winner\u2019s circle at $5.60<\/strong>. <\/p>\n To Laurel, Md.<\/strong>, for Race 4<\/strong>; in it, #3 Lady Charotte<\/strong> (.281 \/ 2.56 \/ 3.27) and #2 Cluck Cluck<\/strong> (.186 \/ 4.38 \/ 6.53) combined on your winning $69-even exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $49.24.<\/p>\n Race 6<\/strong> on the Hot Springs, Ark<\/strong>., card went to #2 Shady Empire<\/strong> (.179 \/ 4.59 \/ 5.70) at $13.20<\/strong>; yes, this was 20\u00a2 shy of the prescribed $13.40 premium win price, but perhaps you elected to sacrifice that score (read: the sum of 10 + 10) of centavos upon the Altar of the God of Doing Business via the Parimutuels \u2014 and for that we have respect; after all, it was the same 5-1! We report, you decide! Race 7<\/strong> had #14 Sulwe<\/strong> (.186 \/ 4.38 \/ 5.45) won it for Lupita Nyong\u2019o at $29.40<\/strong>; completing your winning $109-even exacta<\/strong> was #8 One Way Or Another<\/strong> (.143 \/ 5.99 \/ 7.39), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $91.45.<\/p>\n At Arcadia, Calif.<\/strong>, #1 Jessebear<\/strong> (.287 \/ 2.48 \/ 3.18) won it for Yogi, Boo-Boo & Smokey at $8.80<\/strong>. In Race 5<\/strong>, #9 Nesso\u2019s Lastharrah<\/strong> (.167 \/ 4.99 \/ 7.38) also had the lastlaugh in a $38-even<\/strong> upset. <\/p>\n BestLine Racing Society Nightcap<\/strong>:<\/p>\n It was supposed to be Chas. Town<\/strong> again, but Winter Storm Ember (it \/ they) has put the kibosh on that. So, as we did a few weeks ago, we call the audible and reluctantly go with what\u2019s left: Los Alamitos<\/strong>! Ladies & gentlemen, from Cypress, Calif.<\/strong>, everybody, goodnight…<\/p>\n
