At least he was beat by a LifeLiner Speed Column analysis top number, with the saver exacta, 3&frac12;-1 over almost 20-1, coming back at $144.40.<\/p>\n<p>In Hawthorne 8, top-touted Thundering Hoofs, 34-1, not really close to the winner but still 4 lengths ahead of the others; at least she was bested by a 95 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis, at 4&frac12;-1, with the insurance perfactor returning $223.60.<\/p>\n<p>In Sunland 6, sole-touted Roxy&rsquo;s Gold, 25-1, neck-and-neck with the eventual winner with a furlong to go before fading to lose by 3, 3 ahead of the third-place finisher. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, some winners thrown in there, not mentioned, but sometimes there&rsquo;s more validation in the honourable losses. <\/p>\n<p><strong>WMF Report<\/strong>: <\/p>\n<p><em>Early<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Aqueduct<\/strong> 6f<br \/>\n<strong>Chas.
