Good morning! How you doin’ over there? <\/p>\n
Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n Belmont<\/strong> 6 Pay-side<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n Arlington<\/strong> 1, 3, 4<\/em>, 5, 6<\/em>, 9<\/em>, 11 Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: GP 7<\/strong> on the free<\/a> page. So is SA 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Live third-choice on your morning line in LS 5<\/strong>: #6 Swifterthantaylor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: See, you come back one day later and it’s like Longshot Central. Up-and-down, boom-and-bust, roller-coaster touting. Of course, this is the very sort of thing you must expect when playing wild-priced horseys. Not for the faint of heart!<\/p>\n Just when it looked like we might never hit a winner ever at the new BelTerra Park in Zinzinnati — after a horrible Day 1 there — things get better less than 24 hours later.<\/p>\n Bonkersmate Mandabull came through in Race 1 yesterday at the BelTerra, $32.40 up top. Mandabull, 6-1 Fair Odds on the Betting Line in a contentious race and 8-1 on the morning line, was your top LifeLiner Speed Column analysis horsey in the field. The exacta was completed by the 8-5 fave, also LifeLiner Speed Column-compliant. It paid $77.80.<\/p>\n Two other races were touted over at the BelTerra, and one of those races was Race 4, won by 13-10 fave Best Air. Best Air was a touted horsey, morning line of 12-1 (12-1!). But Best Air was one of ’em Triple Threat Horseys. Maybe we have an overzealous V6 Triple Threat Horsey adherent doing the job over there in Cincy. Probably not.<\/p>\n Then in the nightcap there, it was a KING OF THE NETCAPPER BULLIESZ special, courtesy of Catch the Cactus, bet-down to 3½-1 from a morning line of 10-1. So, a clean sweep of the three touted races at the BelTerra, consisting of one bet-up and two bet-downs.<\/p>\n Other touted winners:<\/p>\n Belmont 4, Magnificent Moon, $11.80 Several last-place finishes, too, and, of course, your usual placement (place-ment!) of Honourable Mention runner-up efforts at big odds. <\/p>\n As well, how about that crazy stuff at Prairie Meadows last night in the stakes race! And a clean sweep at Horsemen’s, thanks to this here Weblog, two separate posts.<\/p>\n Cf.
