5/11/13 Belmont Park Late Pick Four - Results

So we had a play in the Late Pick Four at Belmont Park Saturday.  But then we didn't; as Declan's Warrior was scratched from the Peter Pan, and I decided to cancel the ticket.  Now let's see how we would have done.

RACE 7

# 1 Joe Alan (Final Odds 1.10) breaks his maiden by over four lengths, wiring the field.

RACE 8

# 9 Amberjack (1.45) gives Joel Rosario back-to-back winners.

RACE 9

The reason why I cancelled my Pick Four play after the scratch of Declan's Warrior was because I didn't want to gamble on who the Post Time Favorite might be, and I wasn't comfortable with singling # 1 Freedom Child (3.60) in a Graded Stakes.  Well, Freedom Child showed that he was well up to the task against this company, winning for fun by over thirteen lengths.  Post Time Favorite # 5 Abraham (2.60) was fourth.

RACE 10

#15 Derby Watch (4.70), one of the MTOs that we covered, wins the finale with ease, leading the field from gate to wire and finishing eleven lengths in front of Post Time Favorite # 2 Scandalo (2.60).

So we didn't play; and if you don't play, you can't win.  And what would we have won?  Well, the winning sequence of  1 / 9 / 1 / 15 paid $200.75 for a fifty cent wager.  So bailing when we did cost us a profit of $164.75.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
