3/20/14 Gulfstream Park Rainbow Six - Results

Race 5 - # 5 Solemnly Swear (Final Odds 2.90) - No Selection
Race 6 - # 1 Ulanbator (2.50) - No Selection
Race 7 - # 4 Amber Morning (8.90) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 8 Border Song (Fr) (2.70) - No Selection
Race 9 - # 7 Stormy Rush (1.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 6 Alguna (3.10) - "A" Selection

I wrote in the preview that if he beats me he beats me; well, Solemnly Swear beat me, as he knocked me out in the very first leg, passing # 4 Talon's of Tuscany (0.70*) in the turn and then holding off # 2 Joh's Gone Wild (2.60) in the stretch to win by a neck.  

# 7 Successful Runner (2.00*) lost the photo in Race 6 after leading most of the way.  He was over ten lengths clear of the Show horse, # 5 Mr. Besilu (2.20), at the wire.  In Race 8 we saw that # 7 Declan's Warrior (0.90*) needed the race off the long layoff, while our hopes that the lone speed of # 4 Closerwalk (6.30) would wire the field were dashed when that one faded in the stretch.  We had the winners in the final two legs; but the fact that they were both well clear at the wire suggests that we may have gone deeper in those two events than was necessary.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Rainbow 6 sequence of  5 / 1 / 4 / 8 / 7 / 6  were rewarded with a $3,288.82 payout for their twenty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.  As there were multiple winning tickets, there will be a carryover of $3,530,905 going into Friday's Rainbow Six pool at Gulfstream Park.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
