Should be OK for #2 Yelling Timber<\/strong> in Assiniboia 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also chalky for your Exhibition 2<\/strong>: #5 Koffee Grinder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: All right, all right, ya Swampatoga loversz! Stay away, stay away, stay away. But, hey, at least it rains out there. That’s not anything to take for granted!<\/p>\n

Out here over at The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Pro Shoppe & Driving Range, it was a Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish occurrence in Race 2, courtesy of top-touted Preacher’s Bluff.<\/p>\n

Preacher’s Bluff, sixth-top on the conventional V6 Betting Line and without Fair Odds in a contentious race, nonetheless qualified on the LifeLiner Speed Column via a robust score of 89. <\/p>\n

Preacher’s Bluff, 12-1 on the morning line and 10¢ shy of 23-1 in real life, ran to his complete LifeLiner array of 78-74-89, rallying to the place-spot, 1½ lengths behind the 9-1 winner, who also was OK on LifeLiner, with the saver exacta paying $424.20, for $2. The show-horse also was LifeLiner-sanctioned, with the trifecta returning $1,382.80, for $2.<\/p>\n

In the next race there in North San Diego County, Bonkersmate Love the Kids won at 27½-1. <\/p>\n

Love the Kids, a first-time starter at 20-1 on your morning line, had a satisfactory connection-line of 18pc\/11pc\/0pc (1 previous try). Love the Kids won by 1¼ and paid $57-even up top.<\/p>\n

To cleanse the palate, we now offer sole-touted Humoresque, winner of Race 3 at BelTerra at $7.80 as third-choice in the wagering.<\/p>\n

Six races were listed for the touting at Remington Park, and those six races contained a total of 11 touted horseys. <\/p>\n

Two of those were touted in Race 8: the top-touted Downtowncarolbrown and the Bonkersmate Onemorefastdance. <\/p>\n

Neither was listed among the top horses receiving Fair Odds in the conventional V6 Betting Line in what shaped up as a contentious race. ’Carol was 10-1 on the morning line, ’dance was 30-1 there; on the toteboard, ’Carol was 21-1 while ’dance was 78-1.<\/p>\n

There were four horseys who qualified on the LifeLiner, and, amazingly, two of them were ‘Carol and ’dance. Indeed, ’dance just snuck in, a 16-seed at the Big Dance, with a LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating of 80, the minimum qualifying score. Barely squeaking by!<\/p>\n

Onemorefastdance was good enough, by golly, winning by three parts of a length to pay $158.40 for the win. Mark ’em up! The 3-1 runner-up was OK on LifeLiner, and the 78-1 on top of 3-1 exacta in the nine-horse field paid $1,046.20, for $2.<\/p>\n

Good enough, then. As always, hope you had ’em!<\/p>\n
