Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

No post-bedtime issues to report from last night\u2019s (Thursday\u2019s) late action, and now we move on to some of what happened today (Friday)…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 5<\/strong> out of Zinzinnati<\/strong> had #3 Burning Leaves<\/strong> (.234 Win Prob \/ 3.27-1 Fair Odds \/ 4.13-1 Premium Odds) winning it for infernal forest fires the world over at $23-even<\/strong>; completing your winning $97-even exacta<\/strong> was #1 Race Day Rebal<\/strong> (.274 \/ 2.65 \/ 3.27), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $35.27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giant twi-night 13-race card at Chas. Town, W.Va.<\/strong>, with #2 Bravaro<\/strong> (.177 \/ 4.65 \/ 6.06) coming through in Race 9<\/strong> there at $17.40<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 Galatown Guy<\/strong> (.241 \/ 3.15 \/ 3.85) had a party in Stanton, Del.<\/strong>\u2019s Race 3<\/strong> at $11-even<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took all afternoon, but your Race 8<\/strong> out of Del Mar, Calif.<\/strong>, found #3 Big Blast<\/strong> (.177 \/ 4.65 \/ 5.78) running to that billing at $18.80<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over to Opelousas, La.<\/strong>, for #9 Prytania<\/strong> (.147 \/ 5.80 \/ 6.96) winning Race 5<\/strong> for moths the world over at $19.40<\/strong>; completing your winning $69-even exacta<\/strong> was #2 Play On Player<\/strong> (.303 \/ 2.30 \/ 2.76), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $52.33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Oceanport, N.J., Race 4<\/strong> was taken off the turf, and in the ensuing confusion, #4 Exclusive Champion<\/strong> (.223 \/ 3.48 \/ 4.25) drifted from morning-line favoritism to real-life upset winner at $14.20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grantville, Penna.<\/strong>, opener<\/strong> had another delightful four-horse lineup on offer, and #3 Willy Willy<\/strong> (.455 \/ 1.20 \/ 1.57) and #4 The Beast Master<\/strong> (.366 \/ 1.73 \/ 2.28) combined on your winning $10-even exacta<\/strong> whose premium price was $10.30. At the other end of the card there, your Race 7 finale<\/strong> went to #8 Bruder<\/strong> (.288 \/ 2.47 \/ 2.96) at $7.80<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Oklahoma City<\/strong>, #1 Hedge the Risk<\/strong> (.365 \/ 1.74 \/ 2.12) was unequivocal in taking Race 3<\/strong> at $6.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally to Etobicoke Int\u2019l<\/strong>., whose opener<\/strong> had #3 True Shot<\/strong> (.257 \/ 2.89 \/ 3.55) running to that billing in a $9.20<\/strong> victory; completing your winning $42.80 exacta<\/strong> was #4 Turbo Charged<\/strong> (.221 \/ 3.52 \/ 4.43), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $38.55. Next race<\/strong> there, #7 Tiz the Power<\/strong> (.195 \/ 4.13 \/ 5.00) forced the upset on his foes at $20.80<\/strong>; your winning $79.50 daily double<\/strong> had a premium price of $54.60. In Race 5<\/strong>, #8 Aryeh<\/strong> (.221 \/ 3.52 \/ 4.29) won it for the Lion of Zion at $10.10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really deep into the shank of your Friday evening now, especially on the East Coast, so maybe you\u2019ll be too sleepy to consider these two…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
