Nuke ’em, Dan-O<\/p><\/div>\n

Hoo-boy. Just when you think there’s a chance the reboot of Hawaii Five-O<\/em> might start airing some realistic plotsz, last night’s Season 5 finale truly blows that possibility out of the water — as in Stephen Aloysius McGarrett & Dannie Wmsz. piloting a helicopter to 50 mi. off the coast and dropping a payload of a live nuclear warhead into the unsuspecting watersz of the Pacific Ocean. Accompanying the last-minute heroics was a snazzie CGI animation of the WMD plunging down into the depths. Aloha. Be there. Hoo-poi. <\/p>\n

McGarrett steps into the ring against Lloyd Mayberrie, McGarrett drops him in Round 1. Indeed, we owe the continued existence of a 50-state American Union to McGarrett. <\/p>\n

Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n

Belmont<\/strong> 1, 2, 3, 5, 6<\/em>, 8, 10<\/em>
\nGulfstream Park Proper<\/strong> 5, 7
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 3, 4, 5, 7<\/p>\n

Pay-side (Weekend<\/a>\/Weekday<\/a>)<\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n

Arlington<\/strong> 7, 8
\nChurchill<\/strong> 1, 4, 5, 6, 9<\/em>, 10, 11
\nGolden Gate<\/strong> 7<\/em>, 9
\nLouisiana<\/strong> 7<\/em>
\nLone Star<\/strong> 2, 4, 8, 9<\/em>, 10
\nMonmouth<\/strong> 1, 4, 5, 6
\nPimlico<\/strong> 2, 3, 4
\nWoodbine<\/strong> 4<\/em>, 5<\/em>, 6, 10<\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Belmont 3<\/strong>, Santa Anita 5<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. Pay-side contains Churchill 5<\/strong>, Golden Gate 7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Belmont 7<\/strong> finds #6 Testa Rossi<\/strong> in with a chance as the co-fourth-choice on your morning line. In the ninth<\/strong> there, trying for a fave-longshot pairing of #1 Imagining<\/strong> and #2 Hyper<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Uh-oh. One of ’em Quintuple Qualifying Horseys emerges in BelTerra 7<\/strong>: #5 Mound<\/strong>. (Always remember: Almond Joy’s got nutsz; Moundsz don’t. Because sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.)<\/p>\n

Odds-on on your morning line in Lone Star 5<\/strong> for #2 Infectious<\/strong>, a Quadruple Qualifying Horsey. <\/p>\n

Off the layoff for Quintuple Qualifying Horsey #4 Favorite Tale<\/strong> in Monmouth 11<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Guessing that #6 Skylander Girl<\/strong> and #2 Paladin Bay<\/strong> will outrun their forecast double-digit win-prices in Woodbine 8<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Four on the stakes-barn door at Albuquerque<\/strong> today, and Race 6<\/strong> has us tiptoeing around the morning-line fave to go instead with the dynamite duo of #5 Tea Light<\/strong>, #2 Diabolical Dame<\/strong>. Race 7<\/strong> features a classic Triple Threat Horsey: #6 Not My Note<\/strong>. Wild-open in the eighth<\/strong>, and #5 Quinton’s Doll Who<\/strong>, #9 Back Seat Roll<\/strong> are not out of it. But back to the chalk in the ninth<\/strong> via the obvious #1 Proceed<\/strong>, a Quintuple Qualifying Horsey. <\/p>\n

If you’re anywhere near Brown Co. Fair<\/strong>, Race 5 should be OK for the fave #5 Rita’s Resort<\/strong>. Againn, that’s Brown Co. Fair. Look it up on Duck Duck Go. <\/p>\n

Compared with Brown Co., Horsemen’s Omaha is a Big Deal. Really big. #2 Chub’s Charmer<\/strong> is the upsetter in Race 3<\/strong>, and #1 Morning Shadow<\/strong> plays the same role in Race 5<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Seeking some sort of placement for #4 Rushin’ Rubietta in Prairie 6; two races later, #1 M B Prize has the live-longshot bona fides<\/em>. <\/p>\n

OK. Exhale. Too much horseys. Sometimesz.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Activity<\/strong>: Also fantastical, McGarrett and his 21st-century task force, they never wear helmetsz when they hunt down the bad guysz — never once in 118 episodes now! As well, their hair is perfectly coiffed, like they are the Cristiano Ronaldo of crimefighting. Minor quibble, though, since thanks to Steve McGarrett, Hawaii still stands tonight, saved from certain radioactive annihilation. Mahalo, McGarrett. Also, it looked like the D.C. Capsz were counting the money and booking their flightsz to Canada for the next round of the ice-hockey tournament. Then the third-period clock reached 1:41 and maybe that trip will not happen anymore. Additionally, Anaheim Duxxx reverted to winning waysz and seem destined for a faceoff with the Blackhawxxx in the West finalsz. Hoopball still not enjoyable. Please let us know what is going on therein. Finally, Change.org petition being readied, asking for tribunal to stick some needlesz into the deflatablesz between QB TB12’s legsz; more unrealistically, also demanding an apology from Robt. Kraft. Likelier than any of those scenarios is McGarrett kicking winning the field goal in SB 5-0. Let the luau continue.<\/p>\n
