Back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s been going on? The Phightin\u2019 Phils got beat by the Bravos in the Wild Card round, but they were the only team eliminated in that round to win a game \u2014 w00t! The Bravos then got beat in the Divisional round by the Los Doyers, 3 games to 1. The Philly Sick-Sirs debuted their world-beating lineup in a couple of preseason games already, while the Iggles seem to have begun a tanking of their season quite early after being meh on both sides of the ball en route to a meh 2-2 record so far \u2014 meh & mid. And the Flyers, who were touted as young up-and-comers in this big-league hockey season have not delivered that hype, going winless in their first four games now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the horseys, plenty of action earlier on this Friday, and here are some of the outcomes…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at Elmont, N.Y.<\/strong>, whose opener<\/strong> had a stranger-danger foreign import making her first U.S. start, leading #5 Long Good Cry<\/strong> (.300 Win Prob \/ 2.33-1 Fair Odds \/ 2.90-1 Premium Odds) to a sorry-not-sorry $8.16<\/strong> win; next race<\/strong> there, #3 Kay Cup<\/strong> (.284 \/ 2.52 \/ 3.23) was your low-priced-overlay winner in a five-horse tilt at $8.08<\/strong>; your winning $44.44 daily <\/strong>double<\/b><\/span><\/font> had a premium price of $32.99; next race<\/strong> there (Race 3<\/strong> if you lost track), #9 Mischievous Jo<\/strong> (.122 \/ 7.20 \/ 8.84) bedeviled a bunch of foes at $20.38<\/strong>; your winning $326.79 pick 3<\/strong> (for $1) had a premium price of $277.79 (again for $1); as well, your winning $179.66 Race 3<\/strong> exacta<\/strong> was completed by #3 Sparks Will Fly<\/strong> (.122 \/ 7.20 \/ 8.84), with the premium price there being $173.97; exhale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 5<\/strong> out of Zinzinnati<\/strong> was taken off the turf and left with five starters, including #6 Ready to Roll<\/strong> (.257 \/ 2.89 \/ 3.67), who ran to that billing at $10-even<\/strong>.
