Race 9 - The BC Turf - # 12 Highland Reel (Ire) (Final Odds 3.80) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - The BC F&M Sprint - # 12 Finest City (8.70) - "B" Selection
Race 11 - The BC Mile - # 5 Tourist (12.40) - "C" Selection
Race 12 - The BC Classic - # 10 Arrogate (1.70) - "A" Selection
There are times, many times, when the big event fails to live up to the big hype; but these past two days were not those times. While today's Breeders' Cup Classic may not have had the tight finish that we witnessed in yesterday's Breeders' Cup Distaff, both races showcased the best versus the best at their best, treating us fans to a pair of contests that will rank for all-time among the best the sport has ever experienced.
As to our play, well, you know how this works: had 'em all, but not all on any one ticket. Make Tourist a "B", or make Finest City an "A", or make # 8 Tepin (3.70) get to the wire a half length quicker in the BC Mile, and we get to collect. But none of those things happened, so instead we get to contribute.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 12 / 12 / 5 / 10 were rewarded with a payout of $1,003.25 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
