Continued hot…<\/p><\/div>\n

Reports of snow this morning in Des Moines, temperature 32°F. Today in Studio City, 92°F, a comfortable, dry heat, with a couple degrees of added warmth for your Friday. Always a pleasure to watch Jackie Johnson deliver the forecast on the 11 p.m. news.<\/p>\n

Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n

Belmont<\/strong> 9<\/em>
\nCalder<\/strong> 2, 6
\nBFHollyPark<\/strong> 7<\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/a><\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Churchill<\/strong> 5, 6<\/em>, 8<\/em>, 9, 10<\/em>
\nPimlico<\/strong> 2, 4, 5<\/em>, 6, 7<\/em>, 8
\nGolden Gate<\/strong> 5, 6, 7<\/em>
\nLone Star<\/strong> 1<\/em>, 4, 7<\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: None today, but this is to be expected, knowing what’s going to be happening tomorrow and Saturday. Time to rest up in advance of your wild weekend, ya NRBQ-loversz!<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Apologies for the inglorious swansong from Frantic City. We have 358 days to prepare for next year&rsqu;s stand, if Allah permitsz. Next year in McKee City. <\/p>\n

Sort of a quiet day yesterday, your Wednesday, with only Frantic City, Belmont and Churchill being under consideration for the free and pay-sides, and with limited opportunities at that. <\/p>\n

Rainy night at Evangeline, but the inclemency did not stop the great Lime Me (could this possibly be a reference to the drinking of Corona, la cerveza fria, desde la botella<\/em>? Anyway, the great Lime Me broke from post 14 and did what he needed to do to make some of us happy, d(r)owning the rest of the field at a refreshing 20-1 or so. And that was enough. We shall never come close to attaining a 40 percent hit-rate. However, we’ll get the one, the right one, hopefully, and it will turn out OK, Allah willing. <\/p>\n

Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: Evangeline<\/strong>, is it still raining hard down there? Thank you for last evening. We try your second<\/strong> (7:05 p.m. EDT \/ 4:05 p.m. PDT) tonight for #4 Baja Oklahoma<\/strong>; Oklahoma > Tejas (Tejas!); no murders of U.S. Presidents in Oklahoma, only of 168 bureaucratsz and their families and associatesz; must be something about that part of the World; but A. Rosenbaum would have liked it; that tells you everything you need to know. …Later, it’s the finale<\/strong> at PennNat<\/strong> (9:37 \/ 6:37), so the possibility exists for a King of the NetCapper Bulliesz special! Yes: #5 Mountain Climber<\/strong> can — yup, you guessed it— reach the top; boo, weaksauce! as well, #4 I Am Not Who I Was<\/strong> and #2 Golden Temple<\/strong> can do it. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
