Race 7 - # 5 Do the Dance (Final Odds 13.70) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The Del Mar Futurity - # 5 Nyquist (0.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf - # 3 Jakaby Jade (GB) (7.40) - "C" Selection
Race 10 - # 10 Unforgettable U (1.10*) - "A" Selection
And that's why you play back-up tickets.
Of course, a little better handicapping could have spared us from having to rely on one of our "A's" coming through in the finale. Do the Dance was such a likelihood to be loose on the lead in the opener that we could have spread a little less wide in that contest; and a little more faith in the success Trainer Doug O'Neill has been having on the big days this meet would have elevated Jakaby Jade (GB) from a "C" Selection to at least a "B" on our tickets. But despite those errors we cash; and that's just fine by me.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 1 Glory (3.20) - $405.00 Finish: 4th
# 4 Josephine's Moment (11.40) - $1,286.95 Finish: 8th
But that's what might have been. The actual winning Pick Four sequence of 5 / 5 / 3 / 10 paid $325.45 for a fifty cent wager, making for approximate odds of 3-1 on our $81 investment. Which, again, is just fine by me.
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
