What else is new?<\/p>\n<p>As always, Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish, this time led by 27-1 Jazillion Smiles in the fourth at Gulf. LifeLiner array of 60-61-87 on her, giving her the rally style to beat all but one, only a length and a half to the bad. Winner was OK on LifeLiner, so the perfecta returned $70. There was a LifeLiner qualifier OK for third, too, with the trizacta paying $306 for $2.<\/p>\n<p>Next race there, Bonkersmate Elusive Blueboy, 10-1 morning line and half that on the toteboard, ran to his connection line of 18pc\/11pc\/100pc, paying $12.20. Don&rsquo;t worry, however, as top-touted Skarabajo ran last. Thanks a lot, Skarabajo. Thanks a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Del Mar 5, four horseys selected, none win. Well, what did you expect? But the fave prevailed, and he was &mdash; like the other four &mdash; sanctioned by LifeLiner, and two of the touted quartet completed the trifecta: $63 exacta, $270 (for $2) trifecta.<\/p>\n<p>Top-touted Carbonite ran second, but the winner was LifeLiner-approved: $77 exacta. <\/p>\n<p>How&rsquo;s this? Five &mdash; count &rsquo;em! &mdash; half of ten horseys touted for your third at Arlington. None won, but one almost won, finishing second at 17-1. Winner was favored and OK on LifeLiner: $130 exacta. <\/p>\n<p>Backed into the win in the Arlington Million, via Real Solution ($18.80).<\/p>\n<p>Ray&rsquo;s Away came back OK in WO 6 at $14.60, off a morning line of 12-1. OK LifeLiners on the exactor ($83) and triactor ($316.80, for $2).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, King of The NetCapper Bulliesz special in the last at Rexdale-Etobicoke Int&rsquo;l. It was Tango Kid, 8-1 on both the morning line and in real life (finally!), ran down a wild 50-1 horsey to prevail at $18.10.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: Yup, some real-live rally issues now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Arapahoe<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Beulah<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Columbus<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
