Race 7 - # 4 Ultimate Holiday (Final Odds 6.50) - No Selection
Race 8 - The John C Mabee - # 8 Elektrum (Ire) (3.30) - No Selection
Race 9 - # 7 Nextdoorneighbor (1.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 2 Barbs Angel (1.80*) - "A" Selection
We were wrong about # 9 Black Betsy (4.10) getting the early lead in the opening leg of the sequence. Of course, she had to run the entire backstretch and into the turn ten wide (in a nine horse field!) to do it, but Black Betsy did have the early lead. Anyway, we went six deep in a nine horse field and still managed to miss the winner; definitely not a good showing. We also missed the winner of the J C Mabee; congrats to the trip handicappers who recognized Elektrum (Ire) would do better today with some running room; indeed, they thought well enough of her to bet her down to nearly half of her Morning Line 6-1 odds.
So we managed to whiff on half of our picks. Too bad we didn't just take our bankroll and just put it all on the Late Double. But that wasn't the pool that we were swimming in, and you don't get credit for having Gin when you're playing Hearts.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 4 / 8 / 7 / 2 were rewarded with a payout of $201.40 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
