Playin' the Ponies with Basho

Editor's Note: Matsuo Basho, a seventeenth century Japanese poet, is generally regarded as the most influential and innovative voice in the history of haiku poetry.  We at Paranormal Wagering summon him once a week via spirit medium for his sage advice on upcoming stakes races; the following is our best translation. 

Keeneland, 10/16/10, Race 8: Queen Elizabeth II Challanege Cup, Grade I, Fillies, 3 YO.

Harmonious wins
for the ladies' man, heading
Evening Jewel

Belmont, 10/17/10, Race 8: Knickerbocker Stakes, Grade III, 3 & Up.

Presious Passion, his
last race a prep, toss; maybe
Whatsthescript to place

Oak Tree at Hollywood Park, 10/17/10, Harold S. Ramser Stakes, Grade III, Fillies, 3 YO.

Warren's Jitterbug
dances, make the call; she beats
