7/25/15 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 7 - # 3 Chaulk O Lattey (Final Odds 2.90*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The San Diego - # 6 Catch a Flight (Arg) (3.20) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 2 Micks Miracle (1.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 2 Foolish Ways (Ire) (11.30) - "A" Selection

Our play got off to an ominous beginning when our single "A" Selection in the Opening Leg, # 9 Sweet as a Rose (3.70), dumped Jockey Drayden Van Dyke off her back as soon as she left the gate.  And sure enough, we wound up having one of those days, a day where we had all the winners, but not all on any one ticket.  It's the type of day that can lead you into an awful lot of second guessing: What if Sweet as a Rose hadn't dumped her rider?  Why didn't we use Favorite Chaulk O Lattey as an "A"?  Why didn't we have more faith in Micks Miracle, who won by the length of the stretch, and drop a lot of our backups in Race 9?  But, as always, the best thing to do after such a day is just turn the page and say:

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  3 / 6 / 2 / 2  were rewarded with a payout of $402.25 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
