No good ones for your first day of Thoroughbred-only racing at Los Alamitos.<\/p>\n<p>East of the O.C., a few good ones were among the touted. But before we get to those, a grim reminder that more than a few of them will run with honour without winning.<\/p>\n<p>Like in the opener at Lone Star. Sole-touted Soul Stripper, 12-1 on your morning line and 30-1 in real life, nearly did it. She actually made the lead in the stretch before yielding by a dirty neck. Oh, well. Soul Stripper was the only LifeLiner Speed Column qualifier in your field. Next time!<\/p>\n<p>Now for a few touted winners. Touted!<\/p>\n<p>Over in your third race at Delpark in idyllic Stanton, Del., Rick the Bartender was the only horsey recommended. Rick the Bartender was fourth-choice on your conventional V6 Betting Line, 6-1 Fair Odds. At 8-1 on the morning line and an OK 84 in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, Rick the Bartender was neglected on the toteboard, 50&cent; (fitty!) shy of an even 20-1.<\/p>\n<p>Rick the Bartender won by three parts of a length at $41-even up top.<\/p>\n<p>Over to the shiny new BelTerra Park now for its seventh. Sole-touted Risky Romance &mdash; get those gamma globulin shots updated! &mdash; got his dirty nose up in time, truly the thinnest of nostrils. Risky Romance, 15-1 on your morning line and a nice, round 40-1 in actuality, paid $82-even straight.<\/p>\n<p>Risky Romance was neglected on the conventional V6 Betting Line in a race that had no clear consensus. However, Risky Romance did well enough on your LifeLiner Speed Column analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Ellis Park opened yesterday, and Bonkersmate Cara&rsquo;s Nay Nay (however that means) took Race 7 at a $24.40 win mutuel.<\/p>\n<p>Cara&rsquo;s Nay Nay, 12-1 on your morning line, was not regarded highly by your conventional V6 Betting Line. However, she tied for top honours in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. The horse who tied Cara&rsquo;s Nay Nay for top honours in the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis ran second at 3&frac12;-1, and your exacta paid $135.20. The 2-1 fave ran third, also LifeLiner Speed Column-sanctioned, and the trizacta returned $488.40 (for $2). <\/p>\n<p>As always, hope you had &rsquo;em!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Arapahoe<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Assiniboia<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>BelTerra<\/strong> 6f, 1m<br \/>\n<strong>Emerald<\/strong> 6f, 6&frac12;f<br \/>\n<strong>Indiana<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Louisiana<\/strong> 5&frac12;f<br \/>\n<strong>Northlands<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>PennNat<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Prairie<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Thistle<\/strong> 1m<\/p>\n<p><em>Rally<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Arlington<\/strong> @1m (T)<\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: Sifting through the wreckage&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.
