Hey, our single won the first race! We should celebrate that; especially since that was pretty much the end of the good news for our ticket.
Race 6 saw the one single on our ticket, # 10 Ju Ju Eyeballs (4.10) come through on the rail and win clear, by two and a half lengths. Our two selections in Race 7, # 5 Magical World (2.80) and # 7 Lily Olay (1.70) filled out two-thirds of the Trifecta, without either one landing in the top spot. It would go downhill from there.
We covered three horses in Race 8. # 2 Incredicat (28.3) set the pace and led at the top of the stretch, but gave way and finished seventh (though just a length and a half behind the winner). A length or so behind Incredicat was # 6 Malibu Way (5.30), who manged to find such trouble in the stretch that his jockey, Jersey Joe Bravo, lodged an objection against the riders of both the horses in the Exacta. Neither objection was allowed; which was kind of a shame, because if those two had both been disqualified, then the third place finisher, # 1 Southern Parkway (6.20), our other selection in this one, would have been declared the winner.
Race 9 saw one of our selections, # 2 Nemo Landing (2.80) take the Place, while our other selection, # 6 Jordan's Image (1.60) never fired and finished fifth, two slots ahead of the horse we mentioned in passing, # 10 In Speight of It (57.30) who demonstrated that breeding isn't everything.
We had the winner in Race 10 - The Honey Fox Stakes; as our selections finished first (# 2 Center Court 2.10) second (# 8 Samitar (GB) 2.80) fourth (# 4 Channel Lady 3.50) and fifth (# 6 Pianist 2.60). In the finale, Race 11, our first-timer, # 10 Dangerous Brew (50.50) was dead on the board, and ran as such, being last at every call. One of our selections, # 6 Acadian Connection (3.10) did take the Place; while our other choice, # 1 Channel Changer (5.10) came in seventh.
So, again, we got past the first leg, and just missed in the second; so at least we got some action out of our play. The bottom line was that we had the Winner in two races, the Place horse in three races, and the Show horse in the other. Which, as you all know, pays absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, those who played the correct sequence of:
RACE 6: # 10 Ju Ju Eyeballs (4.10)
RACE 7: # 2 Magical Weekend (1.90)
RACE 8: # 5 Under Control (9.40)
RACE 9: # 5 Monroe Court (15.30)
RACE 10: # 2 Center Court (2.10)
RACE 11: # 4 El Tuscano (7.70)
were rewarded with a payout of $11,325.30 for their ten cent wager. May The Almighty bless them as they enjoy their winnings. As for us:
Oh well; onto the next race.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
