Eat if you got \u2019em!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sunday morning at the time today\u2019s snapshot lede was taken. And being Sunday morning, that meant plenty of time to whip-up from-scratch waffles on the ol\u2019 (and we mean old, like 30-plus years!) Belgian waffle iron. Don\u2019t cheat yourself out of enjoying from-scratch waffles. Cooking from scratch is one of the best expressions of self-care (and care & love for your housemates, if you have that particular living arrangement and they also like your cooking) you can undertake. Get the real buttermilk out, melt some butter, throw in the eggs; add all that wet stuff to the flour & sugar & powder & soda & salt; mix, but not too well, otherwise you\u2019ll end up with tough & chewy waffles, not the crispy-on-the-outside but fluffy melt-in-your mouth on-the-inside kind shown here. Show yourself some love & care & tenderness. Do it, don\u2019t let Big Breakfast dictate how you should eat. Down with Kelloggs, down with General Mills. Up with your own supply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One post-bedtime issue to report from last night\u2019s (Saturday\u2019s) late action: at Edmonton, Alta.<\/strong>, #4 Dale\u2019s Legacy<\/strong> (.295 Win Prob \/ 2.39-1 Fair Odds \/ 2.86-1 Premium Odds) combined with #2 Benzene<\/strong> (.150 \/ 5.67 \/ 7.00) to complete your winning $49.70 Race 7 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $45.76.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for today (Sunday), some of your races wound-up like this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 Hattie Bloom<\/strong> (.228 \/ 3.39 \/ 4.13) blossomed in your Shakopee, Minn., Race 4<\/strong> at $19-even<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Race 7<\/strong> out of New Kent, Va.<\/strong>, #3 Altamira Sur<\/strong> (.122 \/ 7.20 \/ 9.25) won it for Spain at $21.20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over to beautiful, beachy Del Mar, Calif.<\/strong>, where #6 Daring Pursuit<\/strong> (.192 \/ 4.21 \/ 5.25) took your opener<\/strong> at $17.60<\/strong>. Then in Race 3<\/strong> there, #4 Memorized<\/strong> (.479 \/ 1.09 \/ 1.44) did not forget to win at a sorry-not-sorry $6.20<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Race 8<\/strong> winner on the Hendo., Ky.<\/strong>, card was #3 Conceit<\/strong> (.346 \/ 1.89 \/ 2.29) at a puffed-out $6.94<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Auburn, Wash.<\/strong>, #2 Nathan Knows Best<\/strong> (.357 \/ 1.80 \/ 2.36) also ran best in Race 3<\/strong> at a sorry-not-sorry $8.68<\/strong>; #4 Polar Patrol<\/strong> (.430 \/ 1.33 \/ 1.72) completed your winning $18.92 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $12.83. In Race 4<\/strong>, #1 Bobby\u2019s Genie<\/strong> (.404 \/ 1.48 \/ 1.82) was your winning low-priced overlay in a five-horse lineup at $7.48<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 Extendo<\/strong> (.175 \/ 4.71 \/ 6.14) had a sufficient margin over the rest at the wire in Hallandale Beach, Fla.<\/strong>\u2019s Race 7<\/strong> at $20.20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Minute by Minute<\/strong> (.265 \/ 2.77 \/ 3.42) was prompt enough in Race 7<\/strong> from Oceanport, N.J.<\/strong> at $13.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Race 4 Thoroughbred opener<\/strong> at Altoona, Iowa<\/strong>, had #4 Rome\u2019s Conquest<\/strong> (.315 \/ 2.17 \/ 2.71) and #1 Little Ni<\/strong> (.265 \/ 2.77 \/ 3.53) combining on your winning $30.60 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $24.55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally to Etobicoke Int\u2019l<\/strong>., where your opener<\/strong> found #5 Reloaded Form<\/strong> (.226 \/ 3.42 \/ 4.31) and #2 Castle Harbour<\/strong> (.347 \/ 1.88 \/ 2.29) combining on your winning $32.70 exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $28.35. At the other end of the card, your Race 11 finale<\/strong>, it was #6 Grande Soiree<\/strong> (.091 \/ 9.99 \/ 12.19) making it a very big evening with the $49.50<\/strong> upset; completing your winning $656.40 exacta<\/strong> (not a typo!) was #8 Cotton<\/strong> (.132 \/ 6.58 \/ 7.86), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $216-even. Yow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three on the tree to end your weekend here…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
