2/15/14 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

"Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination." – Dwight D. Eisenhower

Race 6 - # 4 The Admiral (Final Odds 4.40) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - The Sweet Life - # 2 On the Backstreets (1.90*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The Santa Maria - # 1 Iotapa (2.20) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 7 Teacher Teacher (1.50*) - "A" Selection

The Admiral and Iotapa both won clear leading gate to wire, while On the Backstreets took the lead in the stretch and was also a clear winner; so there was little drama in the the first three legs.  We were alive in the final leg to two horses: Teacher Teacher and # 9 Kid Rollins (2.30).  Had Kid Rollins won the Pick Four would have paid $129.00 for fifty cents.  But Teacher Teacher sped to the early lead and was never headed; for when it looked like she might be running out of gas late, Teacher Teacher managed to find more; and with tail switching she crossed the Finish Line three-quarters of a length in front of # 5 Itsabeautifulday (4.00) to give us our first Pick Four victory of 2013.

So when all was said and done, the correct Late Pick Four sequence at Santa Anita Saturday was  4 / 2 / 1 / 7  which paid $94.85 for a fifty cent wager.  As we had it twice (once on our usual Crist-style tickets and once again on the ticket we played with On the Backstreets and Teacher Teacher singled) our play results in a Net Profit of $122.70.  May God bless us as we spend our winnings.

Onto the next race!

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
