8/22/15 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - The Del Mar Handicap - # 4 Big John B (Final Odds 2.10) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - The Pacific Classic - # 9 Beholder (2.00) - No Selection
Race 10 - # 5 K Thirty Eight (11.80) - No Selection
Race 11 - # 10 Kafister (6.40) - "B" Selection

We were wrong about Beholder.

Very wrong.

Ridiculously wrong.

In a performance that can best be described as "Wow!" Beholder saw # 5 Red Vine (4.60) gaining on her in the turn and took off as if she had a rocket under her tail, going on to win the Pacific Classic by as many as she wanted.  Just a truly remarkable effort, and one that stamps her as a legitimate contender in this Fall's Breeders' Cup Classic.  Hopefully we'll do a better job then of assessing her abilities than we did today.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  4 / 9 / 5 / 10  were rewarded with a payout of $1,267.80 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
