7/16/16 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 7 - # 12 Lucky Bryan (Final Odds 4.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Morganite (8.70) - No Selection
Race 9 - The Yellow Ribbon - # 8 She's Not Here (9.20) - "C" Selection
Race 10 - # 7 Third Brigade (3.70) - No Selection

There was a reaffirmation of certain fundamental handicapping angles on display Saturday, as She's Not Here showed once again that a prior winner of a Graded Stakes is not to be underestimated in a renewal of the same event, regardless of what there recent form may show; while Third Brigade demonstrated why runners dropping in for a tag for the first time must always be respected.  As regards our play, we were wise enough to leave Morning Line and Post Time Favorite # 6 Bundesliga (3.00*) off our tickets in the finale; but our failure to catch either winner of the two maiden races in the sequence doomed us to failure, and made Saturday 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  12 / 5 / 8 / 7  were rewarded with a payout of $1,136.60 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
