On the other hoof, Manchester City still very much in line for a Treble of their own. Nevertheless, #COYG; we die hard, though this year would be the most difficult demise of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recapping some late-issues &amp; strays from yesterday, <strong>Saturday<\/strong>: At <strong>Chas. Town, W.Va.<\/strong>, <strong>#5 Intention to Zip<\/strong> (.283 Win Prob \/ 2.53-1 Fair Odds \/ 3.24-1 Premium Odds) took the <strong>fifth<\/strong> at an unimpeachable <strong>$12.20<\/strong>; completing your winning <strong>$26.80 exacta<\/strong> was <strong>#6 Charlienite<\/strong>, with the premium price on that comboa (combos!) being $16.13. At <strong>Opelousas, La.<\/strong>, <strong>#4 I Got the Hint<\/strong> (.150 \/ 5.67 \/ 6.80) also got the win in <strong>Race 8<\/strong> at <strong>$18.40<\/strong>. At <strong>Grand Island, Neb.<\/strong>, <strong>#4 Subsidize<\/strong> (.244 \/ 3.10 \/ 3.80) underwrote a donation to his backers in <strong>Race 5<\/strong> at <strong>$15.60<\/strong>. At <strong>Grand Prairie, Tejas<\/strong>, <strong>#1 Midway Vow<\/strong> (.314 \/ 2.18 \/ 2.73) made it all the way to your <strong>Race 6<\/strong> winner\u2019s circle at <strong>$9.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for today, <strong>Sunday<\/strong>, some of your races went this way&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Ozone Park, N.Y.<\/strong>, <strong>#5 Bam\u2019s Bliss Kiss<\/strong> (.278 \/ 2.60 \/ 3.21) gave her <strong>Race 7<\/strong> rivals a fat lip in a <strong>$10.32<\/strong> win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Grand Prairie<\/strong> again, <strong>#6 Bradford<\/strong> (.233 \/ 3.29 \/ 4.02) won <strong>Race 2<\/strong> for Mistah Bradford Rutter at <strong>$10.20<\/strong>. In <strong>Race 6<\/strong> there, <strong>#1 Aunt Kendra<\/strong> (.181 \/ 4.52 \/ 5.63) was a nice relation at <strong>$22.80<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Stickney, Ill.<\/strong>, Opening Day now, and in the <strong>opener<\/strong> itself, <strong>#4 Strange Arrange<\/strong> (.310 \/ 2.23 \/ 3.03) and <strong>#2 Premium<\/strong> (.528 \/ 0.89 \/ 1.16) combined on your winning <strong>$13.40 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $13.08. <strong>Next race<\/strong> there, <strong>#1 Keen Gal<\/strong> (.362 \/ 1.76 \/ 2.15) was sufficiently sharp to score at <strong>$7-even<\/strong>; completing your winning <strong>$16-even exacta<\/strong> was <strong>#2 Veronicaforthewin<\/strong> (.306 \/ 2.27 \/ 2.82), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $16.42. As well, your opening winning <strong>daily double<\/strong> paid <strong>$34-even<\/strong> off a premium price of  $25.38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Lexingon, Ky.<\/strong>, <strong>#4 Chasing Sunsets<\/strong> (.189 \/ 4.29 \/ 5.19) was chased to no avail in <strong>Race 3<\/strong> at <strong>$13.26<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Laurel, Md.<\/strong>, <strong>#8 My Girl Back Home<\/strong> (.177 \/ 4.65 \/ 5.44) resided in the <strong>Race 1<\/strong> winner\u2019s circle at <strong>$16.80<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Hot Springs, Ark.<\/strong>, <strong>#6

Highwaytothemoon<\/strong> (.274 \/ 2.65 \/ 3.27) led to victory lane in <strong>Race 4<\/strong> at <strong>$9-even<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two from <strong>The Mountain<\/strong> for the end of
