2/21/16 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 3 Giant Ego (Final Odds 2.50) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 3 Blessherheart (5.80) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 6 Diamond Cut (4.40) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 Straight N Strong (2.00) - "B" Selection

We went three deep in the second leg of the sequence, only to see our runners finish 2nd, 3rd, and 4th behind the Phil D'Amato trained winner.  I had discounted Blessherheart because in her two prior starts on dirt she had failed to get within eight lengths of the winner at the wire; but when she crossed the wire today three quarters of a length in front of both # 8 Paschalitsa (1.50*) and # 7 Casino Fever (2.70) it became a day for us to contribute instead of collect.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  3 / 3 / 6 / 4  were rewarded with a payout of $354.10 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
