8/23/14 Saratoga All Graded Stakes Pick Four - Results

"We win races, we lose races. You have to be able to handle disappointment as well as success." - Linda Rice

Race 9 - The Ballston Spa - # 3 Abaco (Final Odds 4.30) - "C" Selection
Race 10 - The King's Bishop - # 7 The Big Beast (2.85) - "C" Selection
Race 11 - The Ballerina - # 1 Artemis Agrotera (4.30) - "C" Selection
Race 12 - The Travers - # 4 V. E. Day ( 19.50) - "C" Selection

Considering that I really liked our chances today, there's not much to say after failing to bring a single "A" contender home.  Still, in all fairness, the betting public didn't fare much better; as not only wasn't there a single Post Time Favorite among the four winners, but two of the four Post Time Favorites actually finished dead last.  Anyway, had # 7 Wicked Strong (2.65) held off his stable mate at the wire we would have had an "A" Selection winner; but then all we would have gotten from it was two tickets with three correct choices apiece; all of which would have had the same net result on our bottom line.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  3 / 7 / 1 / 4  were rewarded with a payout of $1,153.50 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
