Twelve-to-one on the morning line and nearly 10-1 at the off, &rsquo;Madi had a stellar trainer and jockey, 5 percent and three percent, with the combo batting zero in three tries. Halleljuah! Now they&rsquo;re profitable by 163 percent! &rsquo;gratsz! Clearly, the Albany (Calif.) fansz weren&rsquo;t being driven by the humans haltering and handling the horsey.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they were driven by the LifeLiner Speed Column. &rsquo;Madi was tops there, and the race was contentious. However, the only other qualifying LifeLiner didn&rsquo;t finish in the top half, checking-in eighth of nine at an unpalatable 3&frac12;-1. <\/p>\n<p>Also, thank you, Cliff Lee. <\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\nGulf 6f<br \/>\nHawthorne 6f<br \/>\nLos Alamitos 4&frac12;f<br \/>\nSanta Anita 6f<br \/>\nTampa 1m40y<br \/>\nTurf Paradise 6f<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: <strong>Fonner 6<\/strong> now (6:15 p.m. EDT \/ 3:15 p.m. PDT) for <strong>#7 Firewhirl<\/strong>; $2,500 claimers #1 alwayszzzz! &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.
