Overtime playoff ice hockey…CLEAR!<\/p><\/div>\n

All right, all right, ya Los Angeles major-league ice-hockey fansz! How many more of these instant-win gamesz can your poor, fluttering heart take?! <\/p>\n

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

Santa Anita<\/strong> 5<\/p>\n

Sorry, Elmont. Sorry, MSG. Round 2 over here again Saturday. A half-hour before that, Round 1A over there at your place. NY v. LA Week continuesz!<\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Arlington<\/strong> 5, 9
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 5, 8<\/em>
\nChurchill<\/strong> 1, 3, 8, 9
\nDelpark<\/strong> 1, 2, 5<\/em>, 6, 7

\nLouisiana<\/strong> 2, 6, 8<\/em>
\nLone Star<\/strong> 3, 6<\/em>, 7<\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Del 7 is the only one on the North American docket today, and it’s on the pay-side.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: R.I.P., Don ‘Popeye’ Zimmer. Remember that time Pedro Martinez (jeez, remember Pedro Martinez in the first place?) threw the old man to one one side in that 2003 playoff brawl? Also vaguely remember him saying to his wife, when Zimmer was a coach and his manager had just gotten fired, something like, ‘Pack up your bags. It’ a quinella. We’re out too’. <\/p>\n

These are not the exact words, but the sentiment suggests that Zimmer knew his horseracing terminology, like all good baseball pros do. Richie Allen, Pete Rose, Ron Perranoski, Joe Torre, Brad Penny, Geo. Steinbrenner, etc. Baseball and racing, a strong and proud shared legacy.<\/p>\n
