Sorry, Aqueduct fansz. No can do.<\/p>\n
We are unable to force upon the readership unappetizing horsies and races. Thus, no free ones from Jamaica Bay today.<\/p>\n
You saw over the weekend what happens when a quality hippodrome gets thrown in the mix: yea, verily, at Woodbine, a zongo $30-plus winner and, for good measure, a crusher near-$250 Bonkers Exactor Box for our mutuel enjoyment. This simply will not happen at the NYRA oval right now. Bad problems.<\/p>\n
Anyway, yesterday, when the quality Turf Paradise racetrack was involved for the paying customers, it was another nice time: in the eighth, a 4½-1 Bonkersmate winner, with the top selection completing another winning Bonkers Perfecta Box, this time for $76; then in the finale, a 3-1 straight-winner, completing a tasty $74 daily double. <\/p>\n
Quality at Turf Paradise, then. Quality at Woodbine, then. Desolation and something approaching The Repetition & The Sameness of The State at The Aqueduct now. Geo. Orwell would have put it much more literarily.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Patriot U.S. Representative Ms. Michelle Bachmann has been kind enough to deliver this prepared statement, and we won’t have to figure out what she’s looking at off camera.<\/p>\n
“My fellow Amurricans, choose freedom! Choose democracy! Choose a way of life in which the outcomes are not preordained under a planned pari-mutuel economy! Choose a way of wagering in which your two bucks (or more) actually counts! In short, my dear friends, choose anyone other than O — oops, wrong speech. Choose anything but Aqueduct! Thank you! God bless you, and God bless the United States of Amurrica!”<\/p>\n
