Take it easy! We are not big on the TV in general, except maybe for QVC &amp; PBS &amp; TCM \u2014 no wonder we are so dull! At any rate, between the precious &amp; petulant prissiness of Truman Capote and the catty constellation of 1980s &amp; 1990s female screen stars assigned to portray his high-society playmates, we have no option but to see what this series is all about.

We prefer to see people on the screen who are tethered to the understandable moorings of real life, relatable words &amp; movements &amp; motivations that are routinely found here on Earth as we encounter this planet on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Recap<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was Gulf, Tampa, Mahoning &amp; Turf Paradise from earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with <strong>Race 3<\/strong> from <strong>Hallandale Beach, Fla.<\/strong>; in it, <strong>#6 Double Play King<\/strong> (.272 Win Prob \/ 2.68-1 Fair Odds \/ 3.41-1 Premium Odds) and <strong>#2 Golden Skull<\/strong> (.311 \/ 2.22 \/ 2.86) combined on your winning <strong>$26.20 exacta<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying in The Sunshine State, at <strong>Oldsmar<\/strong>, <strong>Race 5<\/strong> saw <strong>#4 Milliondolarmonkey<\/strong> (.169 \/ 4.92 \/ 6.10) and <strong>#9 Singalong Kayla<\/strong> (.172 \/ 4.81 \/ 5.98) combining on your winning <strong>$113.80 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $85.15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Youngstown, Ohio, opener<\/strong> had <strong>#4 Midnight Mikey<\/strong> (.150 \/ 5.67 \/ 8.33) and <strong>#2 Giv\u2019em the Biz<\/strong> (.168 \/ 4.95 \/ 7.33) combining on your winning <strong>$135.40 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $138.77.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Nightcap<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to <strong>Chas.
