Saturday! What, ho! No cancellations? Quick, somebody call that move.org petition site or however those Olympic Skating Complainers are doing it to be bulliesz about a result they don’t like. Sheesh. What if those millionsz were actually horseplayers…would they storm the stewards and judges and light up the toteboard the way they thought was correct? Sign a petition and be a bullie. Get offended and hire a lawyer to secure your redress, same difference. Nowadays, it seems, you can always bullie your way to what you want. Go to a steakhouse, send your prime meats back to the kitchen because you demand to have them burned to a crisp well-done. Ugh. This. There’s better outlets for outrage. Everyone’s an expert nowadays, everyone’s opinion matters. They call up Amerika’s Idle<\/em> or SuperStar Dancers<\/em> and feel like they can bullie their way to a result.<\/p>\n

Gone is the era of experts. Personal taste has now supplanted expertise. The world used to work a whole lot better as long as you could let go, trust the experts, and as long as you didn’t always feel moved to pick up the phone or sign a petition or send the food back to the kitchen just because it didn’t turn out the way you wanted. <\/p>\n

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

Aqueduct<\/strong> 3, 5<\/em>, 8, 9
\nGulf<\/strong> 3<\/em>, 8<\/em>, 10<\/em>, 11
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 6, 8, 9<\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Fair Grounds<\/strong> 6<\/em>, 10<\/em>, 11, 12, 13<\/em>
\nGolden Gate<\/strong> 3, 4, 7
\nHawthorne<\/strong> 5, 8
\nSam Houston<\/strong> 7<\/em>, 9<\/em>, 10
\nLaurel<\/strong> 3<\/em>
\nSunland<\/strong> 7, 11
\nTampa<\/strong> 5, 6<\/em>, 7, 10
\nTurfway<\/strong> 1, 5<\/em>, 7<\/em>, 8, 10, 11
\nTurf Paradise<\/strong> 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Aqu 9<\/strong>, GP 10<\/strong> & 11<\/strong>, SA 8<\/strong> all on the free<\/a><\/strong> page.<\/p>\n

We go with the single #6 Penwith<\/strong> in GP 9<\/strong>, the Grade II Davona Dale<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FG 10<\/strong>, 11<\/strong> & 12<\/strong> on the pay-side. <\/p>\n

Open in FG 9<\/strong>, the Grade III Rachel Alexandra<\/strong>. The Daft Punxxx Play of the Day prefers #5 Got Lucky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Looks too easy for #1 Managed Account<\/strong> in Lrl 6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tiptoeing around the fave in Sun 10<\/strong>, selecting #3 Proceed<\/strong> and #5 Alsono<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

Longshot #4 Action Andy<\/strong> in with a shout in Tampa 8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Another avoidance of the fave in TuP 8<\/strong>: #1 Lazy Daisy May<\/strong> and #5 Jet Set Kitten<\/strong> seem better than the public-choice.<\/p>\n

The Extra for Experts comes in Fon 9<\/strong> via the Bonkers Box of #2 Moonstruck Cowboy<\/strong> and #6 Ghost Vapors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity: Some good ones, too. Hope you had ’em!<\/p>\n
