Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Well, Honey Man, AmaZULU turned in a bunch of zed’s in a sleepy performance in the fourth, but what about the rest of the day’s festivities? Was there the opportunity for an instant revival?<\/p>\nBefore that, as always, Welcome To The Home Of The Runner-Up Finish, courtesy of Second Bonkersmate Tubby Time, 12-1 in real life from an 8-1 morning line. No good on the winner, so no exacta opportunity. Sorry!<\/p>\n
However, another Second Bonkersmate, Unbridled Fire, came through at a skimpy 3-1 (from 8-1 on the morning line) in Race 7 at Laurel. Third Bonkersmate in that race, Tru Greek at 27-1, did come in third, yielding the dreaded first-third split exacta. <\/p>\n
Similar bet-down situation in Remington 7 via top-touted Prospect Knight, 12-1 on the morning line but a pounded-on 2½-1 second-choice on the toteboard. Thanks a lot, Oklahoma! Thanks a lot!<\/p>\n
At least there were double-digits returned in WO 2 via top-touted Shop Gal, $10.80. Shop Gal was 10-1 on the morning line and a first-timer with a connection line of 19pc\/14pc\/20pc. Good enough. Thanks a lot, Rexdale-Etobicoke Int’l! Merci beaucoup!<\/em><\/p>\nLater there, the public showed a little mercy in the form of the $18.30 (nickel breakage!) win mutuel on top-touted Bilky Bluz, 8-1 on the morning line. This was a dismal race, with no definition on the Betting Line and none of the horseys able to emerge from the Me Decade (a k a the 70s) on the all-important LifeLiner Speed column. <\/p>\n
And now to the highlight of this section, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the Keeneland card for your Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2013 A.D.\/C.E. <\/p>\n
Once you got past the forgettable Amazulu (thanks, Honey Man! thanks, V6 Betting Line! thanks a lot, LifeLiner Speed!), it turned out OK. In the immediate aftermath of the Amazulu debacle, top-touted Holy Highway did indeed lead to the winner’s circle. This Holy Highway was third-choice on the Betting Line and 10-1 on the morning line. Holy Highway&rsrquo;s Fair Odds on said Betting Line were 5-1. LifeLiner Speed was OK with all this, registering 94. The win mutuel was $32.20.<\/p>\n
Then it was yet another King of the NetCapper Bulliesz special, with Second Bonkersmate Peytonville (Denver!) delivering a last-gasp rally (LifeLiner 60-60-87!) to win at almost 10-1 ($21.40) from 15-1 on the morning line. First Bonkersmate Keiko, 29-1, ran third; however, the runner-up was OK on LifeLiner and so was the fourth-place straggler: $126 exacta, $2,030 trifecta, $10,014 super-duper. All prices quoted for $2.<\/p>\n
Early again today at Lexington (Ky.), but so far so good!<\/p>\n
