Dead trees, smudges, even writing implements unnecessary!<\/p><\/div>\n

Always good to zip through a Friday joint in closer to 10 mins. than 15. Another good one in prospect for Saturday. <\/p>\n

Sunday puzzle completely skipped, week after week. Too much of a slog, too much endurance. Better to sprint through these challenges than to get bogged down by them. Happy solving! <\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Aha! A stakes race! Morning-line fave #3 Parc Monceau<\/strong> looks too legit to admit defeat in Delta 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Bonkersmate Hugsforhennyhall, $23.40, upset the finale at Golden Gate. <\/p>\n

When you make tout a horsey (or three) in each race on the card, it’s hard not to find yourself running at least a couple over, and that’s exactly how it turned out at the Oaklawn yesterday. Even better, the roadkill represented the two highest-paying win mutuels on the afternoon. Yow.<\/p>\n

The finale was won by Bonkersmate I’m Workin On It, longest shot in the field but a $30.80 winner nonetheless. <\/p>\n

In the opener, sole-touted Corsa Veloce, second-to-highest on the toteboard at 38-1, ran down the field to win by three parts of a length at $79.20 up top. <\/p>\n

Yes, when you find a toutable runner (or seven) in all nine races on the day’s programme, you’re nearly certain to run something over — hard to do otherwise. Again, the day’s roadkill at Oaklawn included the two highest-paying win-prices for your Thursday. Yow.<\/p>\n

As always, hope you had ’em.<\/p>\n
