(Tejas!)<\/p>\n<p>Last night, a King of the NetCapper Bulliesz get-out special via the appropriately named Buena Fortuna, 12-1 on the morning line and 14-1 at the off. It was a wildly unmanageable entry-level allowance at 7&frac12;f on the turf; the combination of that class-level, that distance and that surface virtually guaranteed a wide-open scramble. Ten horses entered the gate, with the favorite at an iffy 2&frac12;-1. Buena Fortuna (60-80-90 on her LifeLiner array) lagged early, legged home late, $30.20 to the good. The top three qualifiers all were OK on LifeLiner speed, with the exacta paying $157 (for $2) and the trifecta coming back $682 (also for $2).<\/p>\n<p>Before that, it was Race 6 there, and Bonkersmate Tuned Crusader, 8-1 on the morning line and bet down to 6-1, also was a rallying winner on the evening at $14.20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Belmont<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
