8/10/14 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 10 Magic Beam (Final Odds 4.90) - "C" Selection
Race 7 - # 1 Manahatta (3.50) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - The John C. Mabee - # 5 Moulin de Mougin (8.20) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 6 Hidden Zensation - (5.90) - No Selection

We had three "A" Selections in the opening leg; all three finished out of the money.  We had two "A" Selections in the second leg; both of those finished out of the money.  We had two "A" selections in the final leg; both of those finished out of the money.  In the featured 8th Race one of our two "A's", # 6 Miss Serendipity (Arg) (1.80*) finished last.  Our only "A" Selection to finish in the money was # 3 Wishing Gate (2.40) who took the Place in the John C. Mabee.

Needless to say, it was not one of our better efforts.  Still, we did have three of the four winners on our tickets; so it's not as if we were totally asleep at the wheel.  In addition, two of our "A" Selections, # 4 Diva Express (3.90) in Race 7, and # 6 Miss Serendipity (Arg) were bothered enough in their respective races to require the stewarts to review the running, though no change was made in either event.  So our failure wasn't quite as spectacular as it could have been.  Still, lose one or lose 'em all, it's all the same to the bottom line, as all our tickets turned into trash.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  10 / 1 / 5 / 6  were rewarded with a payout of $1,533.20 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
