And the ‘K’ stands for ‘Kid’<\/p><\/div>\n

All right, all right, ya ’murrikan Faeroe fansz! Take it easy! Belmont Week kicks off today. Maybe they’ll put up a Victor Espinoza banner up there after Saturday. <\/p>\n

In our extensive touring of the grounds, we were not able to find a similar Jean Cruguet banner. Désolée!<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Belmont<\/strong> 2, 3, 5, 6<\/em>, 7<\/em>, 9<\/em>
\nGulfstream Park Proper<\/strong> 1, 3, 5, 6<\/em>, 8
\nSanta Anita<\/strong> 4, 6<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Arlington<\/strong> 1, 6, 7, 8<\/em>
\nBelTerra<\/strong> 7<\/em>, 8<\/em>
\nChurchill<\/strong> 3<\/em>, 8<\/em>, 9<\/em>, 10<\/em>

\nPimlico<\/strong> 1, 2, 3<\/em>, 4, 5<\/em>, 9<\/em>
\nWoodbine<\/strong> 3, 9<\/em>, 10<\/p>\n

Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Belmont 6<\/strong> on the free<\/a><\/strong> page. BelTerra 7<\/strong> on the pay-side. <\/p>\n

Emerald 9<\/strong> is a scramble and a half, with #6 Ethan’s Baby<\/strong> in with a chance. <\/p>\n

Not sure about Monmouth 10<\/strong>, but #5 World Gone Wright<\/strong> does not seem out of it.<\/p>\n

Going to sidestep the morning-line fave to box-up #5 Pure Tactics<\/strong> and #3 County Lineman<\/strong> instead in Santa Anita 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not hopeless for #7 Ashford Calling<\/strong> to do some kind of OK running at long odds in Woodbine 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’ Activity<\/strong>: Can’t think of a single other Big-League Ice Hockey team that produces such a strong negative visceral reaction inside us than dem Blackhawxxx do. Talented group, surely, but we prefer a humbler squad; as well, there’s that obnoxious song they play inside Chicago Stadium after the home team scores. Finally, at that venue, they turn the Star-Spangled Banner into a cross between a UFC match and Phantom of The Opera<\/em>. Highly disturbing. For these reasons and many others, we shall have to support the Tampa Lightningsz in the finals now. Also, best wishesz to Arse F.C. on successfully retaining the F.A. Cup for 2015; the Alexis strike to make it 2-nil was a wonder. <\/p>\n
