Well, hello there, Sunshine! <\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Aqu 8<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. <\/p>\n

Tiptoeing around the morning-line fave in GP 10<\/strong>, the Grade II Honey Fox<\/strong>: #7 Tapicat<\/strong>, #6 Centre Court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Singling out #5 Let Faith Arise<\/strong> in SA 7<\/strong>, the Grade I Santa Margarita<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Another tiptoe race in TuP 4<\/strong>, the Tempe<\/strong>: #6 My Rochester<\/strong>, #3 Top of the World<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And another singling-out race in TuP 7<\/strong>: #4 Lazy Daisy May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Longshot chance to #1 Runaway STEPHEN<\/strong> in DeD 10<\/strong>, the Borgata<\/strong> in Frantic City.<\/p>\n

If she comes back ready to run, #7 Spice Swirl<\/strong> deserves top billing in our Extra for Experts Race, Fonner 10<\/strong>, the Orphan Kist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: We have been pretty taciturn here lately. But when you tout a triple-digit-win-mutuel horsey it’s time to start flapping your mouth. Speak, dummie!<\/p>\n

Friday, March 14, 2014, Race 2 at Fair Grounds. Contentious race for maidens, and one first-time starter, 12-1 on the morning line, sneaks into the Betting Line at Fair Odds of 4-1, second-best in the field.<\/p>\n

We all know how to handle firsters in this sort of situation: Check the connection line. In this case, we have 14pc\/14pc\/20pc. All three measures are double-figure-good, and that’s good enough for consideration.<\/p>\n

All the more so when the horse in question, Passing Pfast, starts showing up at 50¢ shy of 60-1 (60!) on the toteboard. <\/p>\n

Passing Pfast runs to her name, quickly going by runners in deep stretch to win by 1¼ at $121-even. Straight. Mark ’em up!<\/p>\n

A couple of other outright winners too, one for free. As always, hope you had ’em!<\/p>\n
