Town<\/strong>, <strong>W.Va.<\/strong>, <strong>Race 5<\/strong> went to <strong>#7 Backatya<\/strong> (.267 Win Prob \/ 2.75-1 Fair Odds \/ 4.24-1 Premium Odds), who returned to the winner\u2019s circle at <strong>$14.40<\/strong>. At <strong>Florence, Ky.<\/strong>, <strong>#2 My Girl Ginger<\/strong> (.229 \/ 3.37 \/ 4.24) was not in-the-red in <strong>Race 4<\/strong> at <strong>$16.46<\/strong>; completing your winning <strong>$66.48 exacta<\/strong> was <strong>#11 Caladium<\/strong> (.318 \/ 2.14 \/ 2.77), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $31.96.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for today (<strong>Friday<\/strong>), it was Tampa, Laurel, Fair Grounds &amp; PennNat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with the <strong>opener<\/strong> from <strong>Oldsmar, Fla<\/strong>., where <strong>#2 Seafarer<\/strong> (.213 \/ 3.69 \/ 4.63) sailed to the wire first at <strong>$11.20<\/strong>; granted, this was 6\u00a2 shy of the $11.26 premium price, but we could not blame you if you decided to leave those half-dozen centavos upon the Altar of The God of Doing Business Via the Parimutuels \u2014 we report, you decide! At the other end of the card, <strong>#6 Final Verdict<\/strong> (.372 \/ 1.69 \/ 2.23) was not guilty of losing in the end at <strong>$6.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>New Orleans<\/strong>, <strong>Race 3<\/strong> went to <strong>#2 Shezaperfectdream<\/strong> (.194 \/ 4.15 \/ 5.19) at <strong>$16-even<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Nightcap<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Delta<\/strong> (!) is your changeup offering for this evening.
