8/24/14 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - # 4 Burning Arch (Final Odds 4.30) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The Pat O'Brien - # 5 Goldencents (1.70) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - The Pacific Classic - # 11 Shared Belief (1.20*) - "A" Selection
Race 11 - # 12 World Famous Sam T (5.10) - "A" Selection

We had to wait out a Stewards' Inquiry in the Pacific Classic, but otherwise there was very little in the way of drama today, as the only runner above who didn't win by daylight was World Famous Sam T in the finale; but another of our "A" Selections, # 1 Industry Leader (3.20* ) took the Place right behind him.  Shared Belief demonstrated why he is so highly thought of with his victory today, while Goldencents set a new track record of 1:20.99 while winning by as many as he pleased.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other four horses to which we were alive in the finale:

# 1 Industry Leader (3.20*) $128.25

# 4 Wholly Hughes (16.10) $317.80

# 5 Navarre (7.00) $204.80

# 6 Charisma Code (6.00) $190.15

Meanwhile, the correct Pick Four sequence of  4 / 5 / 11 / 12  paid $168.45 for a fifty cent wager, giving us a return of a little less than 3-2 on our $67.50 investment.  It may not be much, but like my close personal friend Sully likes to say, no one ever went broke cashing tickets.  I hope you all had it with me.  May God bless us as we spend our winnings.

Onto the next race!

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
