Winningisgood&rsquo;s LifeLiner array was 85-97-99, and he pretty much ran to that, making the front just after the second-call before winning off by 2&frac12; lengths at $14-even. No other horseys in the race qualified on LifeLiner Speed.<\/p>\n<p>An 11th-hour hurrah at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, thanks to Holy L<strong>ute<\/strong> in Race 6. At press time, the race appeared contentious; however, the last-minute scratch of the contender U&rsquo;narack changed the complexion dramatically. Nonetheless, Holy L<strong>ute<\/strong> remained the top choice on LifeLiner Speed. Holy L<strong>ute<\/strong> was 12-1 on the morning line and bet-down to 6&frac12;-1 in real life. Holy L<strong>ute<\/strong> ran hard every yard of the way and prevailed at $15-even.<\/p>\n<p>So, $14-even, $15-even, do we hear a $16-even? Amazingly, yes! Sold to the winner of the opener at Golden Gate Fair, Nahem. Nahem was 10-1 on the morning line and 7-1 at the off. Off a 22-month layoff, Nahem went gate to wire and paid &mdash; right &mdash; $16-even.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Albuquerque<\/strong> 7f<br \/>\n<strong>Columbus<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
