Race 6 - # 3 Mr. Shook (Final Odds 0.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 1 Eagle Screams (1.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 3 Happy Issue (4.30) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Alliford Bay (3.50) - "B" Selection
Happy Issue has now won three straight races at the $12.5k Claiming level; all by a nose, none as the Post Time Favorite. Happy Issue winning the photo today meant that we were alive to "ALL" in the nightcap, by virtue of having "A" Selections win the first three legs; but in retrospect, we almost defnitely would have been better served had the head bob in that contest gone to "B" Selection # 4 She Sang (7.30).
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other six runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 1 I’m Passing Ya Now (8.10) - $204.50 Finish: 6th
# 3 Eccentric Spinster (1.20*) - $42.50 Finish: 2nd
# 4 C. R. Golden Queen (38.80) - $478.55 Finish: 7th
# 6 Bonnie’s Ransom (23.30) - $347.45 Finish: 5th
# 7 Kelseybelle (6.60) - $129.60 Finish: 4th
# 8 Fiery Lady (3.60) - $157.00 Finish: 3rd
# 2 Munnings Girl was a gate scratch; so had Eccentric Spinster won, we would have collected that $42.50 payout four times (once on our big ticket; twice on our "All A Entries" ticket; and once on one of our "A's with One C" tickets).
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Pick Four sequence of 3 / 1 / 3 / 5 which paid $77.80 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $21.80 on our $56 investment, or approximate odds of 0.39-1. As that was the lowest of all possible amounts that we could have collected, it was obviously not the ideal result. But we do profit; and one thing you will never see me do is turn up my nose at profit, irrespective of size.
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
