Did you catch last night&rsquo;s Kennie Solarz joint, the rebooted version of the Five-O team? It involved some fantastical story line about the Kentucky Derby favorite getting horsenapped right before the big race and somehow ending up on the islands as part of some big-bucks stud-farm scheme. Yeah. We know. Ugh. Love them Hawaii-bredsz! <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Kennie Solarz is typically a good writer and show-runner, but this time he was always going to be out of his depth. For example, Dan-O tells Chin-Ho to call the &lsquo;American Thoroughbred Association&rsquo;. The stolen horsey&rsquo;s name is &lsquo;Urban Myth&rsquo;. Horse and trainer are reunited at the end in a sappy scene straight out of one of those tearjerker Budweiser commercials. <\/p>\n<p>OK, Kennie Solarz. You get a pass this time. Next time please consult with us on the horseracing anglesz.

What are you going to do? Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish!<\/p>\n<p>Earlier there, however, there was a similar dynamic. In Race 7, the 19-10 fave Go Olivia Go was not given Fair Odds by the Betting Line, ranked third therein. On the LifeLiner, &rsquo;Olivia had the lowest rating in the field. <\/p>\n<p>She ran seventh of eighth. On the other hoof, your 10-1 winner and 4-1 runner-up were LifeLiner-eligible, and your perfecta returned $194-even. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, you had another vulnerable-\/false-fave in Golden Gate 5, courtesy of 2-1 Amber Moon. She was sixth-best on the V6 Betting Line in a contentious race, no Fair Odds; her LifeLiner was also sixth-best. Not a good sign for this fave, probably.<\/p>\n<p>The race was lousy with LifeLiner qualifiers in and around of Amber Moon, certainly at way better odds. In this case, the 4-1 winner and the 13-1 runner-up deserved consideration, and their exacta paid $119.60.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, not all these faves who are dually challenged on the Betting Line and LifeLiner will wind up losing; but in terms of looking for a green light to swing for the fences on what appears to be a juicy pitch coming up on a 3-0 count (what?!), this could be the one. These might be the random-style events we wish all races were.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
