Race 8 - #10 South Andros (Final Odds 6.10) - No Selection
Race 9 - The Jim McKay Turf Sprint - # 8 Ben's Cat (0.40*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - The Black-Eyed Susan - # 4 Stopchargingmaria (3.80) - "A" Selection
Race 11 - The Miss Preakness - # 4 Miss Behavior (5.00) - No Selection
Race 12 - The Pimlico Special - # 6 Revolutionary (2.20*) - "A" Selection
As mentioned in the preview, Races 8 and 9 were moved off the grass to the main track, which was labeled "Good" at that time. Approximately a minute before Post for The Miss Preakness the announcement was made that the main track had been upgraded to "Fast", although the above linked chart (at least for now) still has it as "Good".
Our day was over early as our play died right with the very first leg, as we had no part of South Andros, who was fifth choice on the board in a field of seven. While the point was moot, our decision to go eight deep in The Black-Eyed Susan would have looked a lot smarter had # 10 Vero Amore (15.30) held on 'til the wire instead of losing by a neck. And Miss Behavior, winner of The Miss Preakness by nearly two lengths over # 1 Stormy Novel (24.20) was nowhere to be found on our ticket.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Jackpot Pick Five sequence of 10 / 8 / 4 / 4 / 6 were rewarded with a $209.24 payout for their ten cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
