Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n Aqueduct<\/strong> 1, 5<\/em>, 9 Pay-side<\/strong> (Weekday<\/a>\/Weekend<\/a>): Today…<\/p>\n Fair Grounds<\/strong> 4<\/em>, 6, 8 Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Live third-choice on your morning line in Aqueduct 8<\/strong>: #3 I’m Stoked<\/strong>. Also worth singling-out is #2 Kitten’s Point<\/strong> in Santa Anita 8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: As always, Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish, this time nearly led by the hanging Whisper Onthe Wind in the Gulf opener. Beaten three parts of a length at 12-1. <\/p>\n Then in Race 8 there, Sheer Drama, top-touted at 15-1 on the morning line and 37-1 in real life, rallied to best all but the winner, falling 2 lengths short. The winner was the 2-1 fave, and at least she was LifeLiner-eligible with a 93 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. The backup exacta, 2-1 over 37-1 in a 13-horse conflagration, paid $220.60.<\/p>\n Over to Laurel for the next heartbreaker, Here Comes Gary in Race 2. ’Gary was 12-1 on the morning line and 20½-1 at the off. He finished — what else? — second by 1. <\/p>\n Also settling for the bridesmaid role: Bright Town, 13-1, in Race 7 at Sunland. <\/p>\n Race 1 at Oaklawn saw five touted horseys, and they completed the winning super-duper. In truth, all five started at 8-1 or higher on the morning line; however, the win, place, show and super horseys went off at 4-1, 6-1, 22-1 and 3½-1, respectively. This was in a 12-horse field, and the exacta paid $101.60; the trifecta $1,012, for $1; the super-duper $263.61, for 10¢. <\/p>\n WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n Early<\/em> Rally<\/em> Nocturnal Submission<\/strong>: Sifting through the wreckage…<\/p>\n Thank you.
