1/9/16 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - The Sham - # 9 Collected (Final Odds 1.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Follow Me Crev (3.80*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The San Pasqual - # 4 California Chrome (0.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 6 Justonemorething (5.00) - "B" Selection

California Chrome may not have been at his best, but he ran well enough to win by daylight.  Likewise for Collected; indeed, we could have saved a significant amount of money on our play by just singling these two runners.  But that's twenty-twenty hindsight talking, as the job of handicapping tends to be much easier once the race has been run.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other runners to which we were alive in the finale:

# 4 Love De Car (4.30*) - $116.20 Finish: 10th
# 13 Razorbill (9.60) - $227.30 Finish: 7th
# 14 Gnarly Dude (5.20) - $210.40 Finish: 2nd

But that's what might have been.  The actual winning Pick Four sequence of  9 / 6 / 4 / 6  paid $146.30 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $90.80 on our $55.50 investment, or approximate odds of 1.64-1.

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
