At <strong>New Cumberland, W.Va.<\/strong>, <strong>#7 It\u2019s Only Money<\/strong> (.236 \/ 3.24 \/ 4.08) nevertheless got the lion\u2019s share of the purse (but not the wagering dollars!) at <strong>$22-even<\/strong>. <strong>Next race<\/strong> there, <strong>#8 Lady Gangster<\/strong> (.373 \/ 1.68 \/ 2.22) won it for Ma Barker &amp; Bonnie Parker at <strong>$17-even<\/strong>. (Despite these scores occurring in consecutive races, there was no rolling double on offer; plus, the name \u2018Lady Gangster\u2019 makes us think of Faye Dunaway, so, since we have that image in our head, along with the injustice of the absence of rolling daily doubles at Mountaineer Park, in New Cumberland, W.Va., we are almost obligated to utter this unforgettable cinematic last-line: \u2018FORGET IT, JAKE! IT\u2019S MOUNTAINTOWN!\u2019 (where, more frequently than most other places, the scenario of a woman\u2019s child being both her sister AND her daughter plays-out; sorry, this is gratuitous; once in a while, it comes out; RUMI grants us absolution, so long as we acknowledge the shadow-self!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, another complete slate, and now we have nine tracks running to begin each work week during the spring-summer months.
