8/7/16 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 4 Tribal Jewel (Final Odds 2.40) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The Osunitas - # 2 Sobradora Inc (Arg) (9.20) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 8 Dis Smart Cat (2.40) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 9 Midnight Swinger (2.50) - "A" Selection

On the one hand, we managed to use five of the eight runners in The Osunitas without landing on the winner; not exactly stellar handicapping on our part.  On the other hand, one of our "B" Selections in that contest, # 5 Prize Exhibit (GB) (9.90), despite being boxed in and having to be steadied, was only a half length behind Sobradora Inc at the wire (those curious as to what a half length looks like in a photo finish can click here) with # 3 Elektrum (Ire) (2.50), another of our "B" Selections, crossing the wire just a nose behind Prize Exhibit.  So we were close; but, as you all already know, close doesn't get it done.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  4 / 2 / 8 / 9  were rewarded with a payout of $238.35 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
