Post-and-run tonight, courtesy of the start of your 2026 Amphitheater Season now. One of the best times of year, hanging-out on the concourse in shirtsleeves and shorts, chatting-up the beautiful people while sipping on a libation, the sun setting in the west as the crowd hums in anticipation of showtime at 8 p.m. PDT. Romantic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Foul-air Friday today meant a diminution of the usually generous weekend-kickoff slate; for the intrepid, here are a few of the outcomes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Cincinnati<\/strong>, #6 Motownsnojoke<\/strong> (.263 Win Prob \/ 2.80-1 Fair Odds \/ 3.45-1 Premim Odds) got the sorry-not-sorry win in your Race 7<\/strong> feature for Berry Gordy at $11.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening Day where The Turf Meets The Surf down at ol\u2019 Del Mar, Calif.<\/strong>, and #9 Frank Bullitt<\/strong> (.206 \/ 3.85 \/ 4.68) won Race 9<\/strong> for Steve McQueen at $14-even<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 Mystic Night<\/strong> (.178 \/ 4.62 \/ 6.02) was also perplexing by day, taking Race 5<\/strong> from Oceanport, N.J.<\/strong>, at $21.40<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 6<\/strong> on the Altoona, Iowa<\/strong>, card had #9 Secreto Uno<\/strong> (.296 \/ 2.38 \/ 2.85) and #7 Oswald<\/strong> (.249 \/ 3.02 \/ 3.70) combining on your winning $30.20 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $26.79. Next race<\/strong> there, #8 Orange Diablo<\/strong> (.300 \/ 2.33 \/ 2.90) won it for Don Trump Snr. at $7.40<\/strong>. Next race<\/strong> there, #1 P R Stitch<\/strong> (.423 \/ 1.36 \/ 1.70) got the W at $25.40<\/strong>; your winning $83.80 daily double<\/strong> had a premium price of $21.06.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two for the Friday-night scene everywhere else, from Century Mile Thoroughbreds<\/strong> & Emerald<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
