free<\/a><\/strong> page.<\/p>\nOn the pay-side today are Kee 7, 8, 10; LS 9; OP 7, 8; in other words, plenty of opportunities for despair and perdition. Eat ’em up!<\/p>\n
Others to consider: Down to four horses in Aqu 8<\/strong>, the Grade II Distaff<\/strong>, and chalk #4 Cluster of Stars<\/strong> is a prohibitive choice, however that means. …Also looking powerful is #3 Justin Phillip<\/strong> in OP 9<\/strong>, the Grade III Count Fleet<\/strong>. …Cheer up, because the race after that one is the eponymous Grade I Derby<\/strong> there in Hot Springs, so step out of the mineral baths, wrap yourself in a towel and take great comfort in defeating the first two morning-line choices; personally, we take a stab with #9 Overanalyze<\/strong> to paralyze; speaking of paralysis, Coy’s Steakhouse #1 alwayszzzz, better than Mastro’s, at least until Mastro’s opens up its Arkansas location. …Ugh. When’s the last time you saw a downhill sprint race at Santa Anita contain just five horses? Teddible, teddible, Steadman! It’s obviously #6 Mizdirection<\/strong> in that one, the Grade III Las Cienegas<\/strong>, Race 8 on the card. …<\/p>\nYesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: One good one, but it was one of those leave-it-late specials. Lone Star 9, Commencing, 15-1 on the morning line and 17-1 when the bell rang, a vaunted Triple Threat Horsey, no less! Yet the race was contentious on the face of it. So many paradoxes! How to handle it? Hahahaha. The runner-up was odds-on at 7-10 but neither LifeLiner nor the Betting Line had that sort of respect for him. <\/p>\nAlso correct about the stand against Grace Hall in the Oaklawn feature, though she had an eventful Friday, just like Tiger Woods & Koobay Brian.<\/p>\n
