Race 6 - # 6 Cadet Roni (Final Odds 1.40*) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 2 Ain't Misbehavin (2.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 9 Lily Pod (2.00) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 9 Moonie (3.20*) - "A" Selection
We used six of the eight starters in the opening leg on our tickets, only to find the Post Time Favorite. Even worse, we didn't have the winner as an "A" Selection; for had we done so we would have collected three times instead of just once, as our "A" Selections won the subsequent three legs.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 6 Briartic Gal (14.10) - $364.25 Finish: 3rd
# 7 Ballerina Headline (4.10) - $83.95 Finish: 8th
# 8 Major Rager (6.50) - $181.80 Finish: 6th
# 10 Chalk Of The Town (6.20) - $167.70 Finish: 7th
But that's what might have been. The actual winning Pick Four sequence of 6 / 2 / 9 / 9 paid $72.15 for a fifty cent wager (almost exactly half what yesterday's Late Pick Four paid). That makes for a profit of $10.15 on our $62 investment; which ain't much. I mean, we're talking approximate odds of 0.16-1; that really ain't much. It's certainly much less than we would have gotten just by putting the sixty-two bucks on our single in the second leg, Ain't Misbehavin. But it is profit; and if there's one thing you can be sure of, I will never turn my nose up at profit at the track.
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
