8/16/14 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 7 - # 3 Yard Line (Final Odds 2.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The Del Mar Oaks - # 4 Personal Diary (9.10) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 6 Adriatic Skye (4.20) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 5 In Excessiveness (16.00) - No Selection

For the record, here are the $0.50 Pick Four Will Pays for the three horses to which we were alive going into the finale:

# 4 True Visionary - $1217.05

# 8 Zim N the Mailman - $5562.70

# 9 Classified Weapon - $688.95

Can't get overly upset about any multi-race wager in which you're still alive heading into the last leg; especially one that contains only one winning Post Time Favorite.  And while my analysis of the Del Mar Oaks was hardly perfect, it did prove to be correct about a great many runners, not to mention yielding a winner that kept us alive in the sequence.  But all that was for naught once In Excessiveness got loose on the lead right from the gate in the finale.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  3 / 4 / 6 / 5  were rewarded with a payout of $3,234.30 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
