Race 6 - # 5 Bistraya (Final Odds 5.20) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The Clocker's Corner - # 7 Coastline (5.10) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Star of Munster (1.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 10 Intoxicating Move (2.80*) - "A" Selection
In the preview I noted that the last time they competed against each other, Bistraya crossed the wire three lengths in front of # 4 Hoffenheim (0.60*). I felt that since today's contest was a route (whereas the prior one had been a sprint) the extra distance would allow Hoffenheim to make up the difference. In retrospect, I should have at the very least seen these two runners as equals, and made them both "A" Selections. Had I done so, we would have collected three times today instead of just once.
But that's just an observation; not a complaint. For the second day in a row we find ourselves holding three Aces; except today, unlike yesterday, we cash rather than trash.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 1 L. A. Magic (9.60) - $928.40 Finish: 8th
# 7 Miss Gifted (3.30) - $198.45 Finish: 4th
# 9 Odisseia (Ire) (5.40) - $365.80 Finish: 3rd
But that's what might have been. The actual winning Pick Four sequence of 5 / 7 / 7 / 10 paid $209.85 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $157.35 on our $52.50 investment, or approximate odds of 3-1.
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
