Hokie Hokie Low<\/p><\/div>\n

Why is this man frowning? Is this his downbeat way of marking Leonard Cohen’s 80th birthday?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Surely he is in a Midnight Choir!<\/p>\n

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

Belmont<\/strong> 5, 7, 8
\nGulf<\/strong> 3, 8, 9<\/em>
\nLos Alamitos Thoroughbreds<\/strong> 4, 7, 9<\/p>\n

Pay-side<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Arlington<\/strong> 5
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 1, 3
\nChurchill<\/strong> 3, 6<\/em>, 9, 10<\/em>
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 2<\/em>, 5, 6, 7, 8
\nMonmouth<\/strong> 2<\/em>, 8, 9, 10
\nWoodbine<\/strong> 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10<\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Woodbine 6<\/strong>, 9<\/strong> on the pay-side.<\/p>\n

Albuquerque 7<\/strong> is wild-open, and #3 Hello Texas<\/strong> (Tejas!) is one of the ones. In the eighth<\/strong> there (Albuquerque, not Tejas!), we sidestep the morning-line fave to side with #2 Born a Ruler<\/strong> and #1 Gator Heat<\/strong> instead. And in the ninth<\/strong>, #1 Forest Mouse<\/strong> is not out of it.<\/p>\n

Looks like a strong shot for #1 Spanky’s Bourbon<\/strong> in Assiniboia 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The opposite is true of Thistle 7<\/strong>, and three outsiders worth considering are #10 Derby Day Storm<\/strong>, #5 Blazing Bling<\/strong>, #2 She’s the Prize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activty<\/strong>: How ’bout that Va. Poly American Collegiate Gridiron Throwball team? Two last-second collapses at home in consecutive weeks. It’s enough to drive a fan to drink — two-fisted, no less. Elsewhere on the scoreboard, Duke 49, Tulane 13. <\/p>\n

WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

Early<\/em>
\nAssiniboia<\/strong> 6f
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 6f
\nFort Erie<\/strong> 6f

Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: Sifting through the wreckage…<\/p>\n
