Race 5 - # 6 Ezio (Final Odds 5.20) - No Selection
Race 6 - # 2 Wild in the Saddle (14.30) - No Selection
Race 7 - # 1 Buymeabond (2.40) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Faith Proof (2.00*) - "A" Selection
We had "A" Selections take the Place in both of the two legs that we missed; but we really weren't that close to cashing, as both # 2 Tigah (GB) (1.00*) in Race 5 and # 7 Taste Like Candy (0.90*) in Race 6 were well back of the winner at the wire.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 6 / 2 / 1 / 5 were rewarded with a payout of $400.75 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Oh, and one final note: while we were swimming in the Santa Anita pools, someone captured The Great White Whale, as The Golden Pick Six at Golden Gate Fields was hit today with a single winning ticket. The correct sequence of 5 / 1 / 1 / 5 / 7 / 10 paid $363,424.68 for the twenty cent wager. While it's most unlikely (indeed, it is extremely unlikely) that we would have had the correct sequence had we played Golden Gate today, I'm going to delude myself into believing that the lucky individual owes their windfall to the fact that we choose to play the SoCal track today, and thus allowed them to have the single winning ticket. Anyway, significantly more seriously, may God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
