Geography 101<\/p><\/div>\n

Uh-oh, LSU. Now what? <\/p>\n

Louisiana results skewed, all those ‘safety-school’ applications flooding into New Orleans.<\/p>\n

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

Belmont<\/strong> 8
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 6, 8<\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Arlington<\/strong> 7, 9
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 3<\/em>, 8
\nChurchill<\/strong> 9
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 1, 7, 8, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: All right, all right, ya Queen City Racing Fansz! ’sgratsz on your new hippodrome, the BelTerra Park, née River Downs. Yes, racetracks now are being named like gated communities. Hoo-boy. #1 Conniption Fit<\/strong> (!) is almost a Triple Threat Horsey, but not quite. Nonetheless, he is dominant on both the conventional V6 Betting Line and on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. That’s BelTerra Park<\/strong>, the New River Downs, Race 7<\/strong>. Join WKRP’s very own Les Nessman & Bailey Quarters at the Grand Opening.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Good one at the Belmont yesterday, Race 7, via Sacred Success, a Ned Reldem, Esq.,-sanctioned winner.<\/p>\n

Sacred Success, fifth-best on the conventional V6 Betting Line, Fair Odds of 6-1 in a wildly contentious race, was your lone LifeLiner Speed Column analysis qualifier, 86. <\/p>\n

Sacred Success, complete LifeLiner array of 99-99-86, ran to that characterization, far in front all the way around before gearing down to a 1½-length win at $21.20-straight. Sacred Success was 15-1 on the morning line and coming off a year layoff.<\/p>\n

Over at the Suffolk in E. Boston, Arbelle took the opener at $15.40, bet-down from 8-1 on the morning line.<\/p>\n

Arbelle was disregarded on the conventional V6 Betting Line, but did well enough on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. The runner-up was the top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis horsey in the race, and the inverse longshot-fave perfecta paid $48-even.<\/p>\n

Next race there, Volant Jamie, 12-1 on the morning line but also bet-down to the exact same 6-1 as the winner in the opener, came through at $15.40; the daily double paid $140.80.<\/p>\n

Volant Jamie, second on the Betting Line at Fair Odds of 5-1 in a contentious race, was your top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis runner in the field, 99. She held off the 2-5 fave, the only other LifeLiner Speed Column analysis qualifier in the field, 86, and the cold-puncher’s perfecta box, another inverse longshot-fave combo, paid $26.20.<\/p>\n

Ben Affleck should quit wasting his time with those bullie casinos and fruit-clerk pit bosses and prying eyes-in-the-sky. Handicapping will not put the strongarm on him.<\/p>\n
