Town (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Race 3 winner Scythe was an easy make, second-best on the contentious, conventional Betting Line at 3-1 Fair Odds along with the top LifeLiner Spread Column rating in the field; gate-to-wire. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Delta (3\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Race 6 had $22.20 Tinc up top in a contentious race at 3-1 Fair Odds, with a backing LifeLiner Speed Column number to match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fair Grounds (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; High-octane chancers with the ability to go deep (read: no Fair Odds) on the Betting Line and with an OK connections-line (13pc\/13pc\/N\/A) got the $68.80 winner in Race 3. A slight stretch, but nothing that high-octane, maybe, like 89 instead of 91 or Sunoco Ultra 93.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Golden Gate (0\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; How ya&rsquo; doin&rsquo; over there? <\/p>\n<p><strong>Gulf (1\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Boalt Hall (a&thinsp;k&thinsp;a UC Berkeley School of Law) won the finale at $21.20 but should not have been anywhere like that price. The connection-line numbers were fantastical (24pc\/20pc\/26pc) and only a 4-1 morning line kept him from being an obvious tout. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sam Houston (2\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Just missed in the finale, via a LifeLiner Speed Column analysis number of 79 in a contentious race; no Fair Odds assigned, but just missed there, too. Hoo-boy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Los Alamitos (1\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Zika virus the next media-friendly epidemic; are you a vector?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laurel (1\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Oh, no. Race 8 winner Sonny Inspired had the highest (94) LifeLiner Speed Column analysis rating in the field! How is this possible! How was he not a public selection? The Betting Line dynamic suggested there was a strong top pick in the race, thus excluding it from contentious status. Hoo-boy. Very bad. But for the high-octane chancers out there, this was not a hard choice, nowhere near a stretch. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mahoning (1\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Yup, this one, Peace and Serenity, $24.80 in Race 2, slipped by too, for any number of reasons. She was never going to be a publicly touted issue, owing to 6-1 morning line odds (remember, we make the arbitrary cutoff of 8-1), and owing to a seemingly strong top pick (not Peace and Serenity) on the conventional Betting Line in a noncontentious race. Nevertheless, Peace and Serenity would have been among the contenders, courtesy of his 87 in the LifeLiner Spread column analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oaklawn (2\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Opening Day good, Day 2 the oppo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PennNat (0\/0)<\/strong> &mdash; Phillie Sick-Sirs blow out Portland in the Big-League Hoopball; stricter cannabis laws blamed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santa Anita (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Race 6 had $34.80 Analog Girl pulling the publicly touted upset. Hope you had &rsquo;er!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunland (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Race 6 debut issue Side Street Kafe was top of everything, good connection line, just the low morning line prevented him from being a for-real selection. You would have had &rsquo;im. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tampa (2\/1)<\/strong> &mdash; Yeah, Race 2 had Glory Style grabbing just that in the second at $30.20. The race was classically contentious, and even though &rsquo;Glory was at the absolute bottom of the old-school Betting Line, the new-wave LifeLiner Spread Column analysis gave her a pass with an 80. In Race 6, the 23-1 was beyond our ken.
