Late to the par-tay, but here goes anyway. <\/p>\n
Twi-night racing (remember when baseball clubs used to host twi-night doubleheaders?) at the Churchill<\/strong>, and how can you blame them? Those shots in the twinkling twilight of the finish of the BC Classic already are iconic. Sort of like when RAFA NADAL beat that sissie Federr in the evening at Wimbledon in 2008. Vamos RAFA! Anyway, probably best to figure for the patient-type horses at the Churchill tonight.<\/p>\n No budging from all speed, all the time at Chas. Town<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Delta<\/strong> has a short-sample WMF 1000 at 7f and a short-sample WMF 42 at 1 1\/16m.<\/p>\n Golden Gate<\/strong> in its typical wait-until-after-the-second-call state.<\/p>\n Uh-oh. Hawthorne<\/strong> comes back up to WMF 177 at 6f.<\/p>\n Hollypark @ Inglewood<\/strong> tonight is rallies in Races 1-4, then an interlude of WMF 200 at 5f, then rally on the rest. Probably.<\/p>\n El Rancho de Wessels @ Cypress<\/strong> is a horrendous WMF 216 at 4½f. And we all know steeplechase is the SUPERIOR ADJUNCT to a Thoroughbred card, not Quarters. Steeplechase, not Quarters. Steeplechasers are, after all, Thoroughbreds. Even harness is better than Quarters. There’s a stupid TV commercial on now about how Quarters are easier to handicap, and thus more formful and more conducive to picking winners. If you want easy, if you want frequent cashing, why not put a Quarter in a slot machine instead of playing the Quarters? The payback is better, and it’s even easier than Quarters. Stupid Quarters. Steeplechase is better than Quarters. Harness is better than Quarters. Hounds are better than Quarters. Jai Alai is better than Quarters. No. 1 game is Thoroughbreds, No. XXX is Quarters, with XXX being equal to the dumbest form of gambling + a googleplex.<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n Flirting with rally-only status at the Mountain<\/strong> at 1m, WMF 26.<\/p>\n At PennNat<\/strong>, it’s better to rally at the shorter 5½f than at the standard 6f.<\/p>\n Closers dominating the two-turn main-track races at Remington<\/strong>. Also dominating most of the dirt-sprints, too.<\/p>\n Full report ahead for your Saturday. And always remember. Steeplechase > Harness > Greyhounds > Jai Alai > Mechanical Chariot Racing Game at Caesar’s Palace> Pitching Pennies > > > Quarters. However, Quarters > Cardiac Arrest.<\/p>\n Thank you. And have a nice day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Late to the par-tay, but here goes anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,6],"class_list":["post-359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wmf","tag-free","tag-track-bias"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pavW5M-5N","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":360,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359\/revisions\/360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
