Race 6 - # 5 Lota Spunk (Final Odds 10.70) - "C" Selection
Race 7 - # 5 Atta Boy Bear (0.40*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 3 Aly's Last Magic (11.00) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 Sharkzilla (2.10*) - "A" Selection
Our "A" Selection in the opening leg, # 4 Rock 'n On Home, was scratched close to Post Time by order of the track veterinarian. Rather than cancel or change our play, we accepted the Post Time Favorite, # 3 Trelawny (0.90*) in his place.
We erred in not making Aly's Last Magic an "A" Selection; doing so would have allowed us to cash. But we also erred by including # 2 Soolalmon (15.50) on our big ticket in the second leg, as Atta Boy Bear proved to be the standout on the track the he looked to be on paper. On the other hand, we were proven correct in our decision to leave Morning Line and Post Time Favorite # 5 Dame Street (2.00*) off our big ticket; and we did have all the winners on our tickets; just not all on any one ticket. But in the end the things we did wrong outweighed the things we did right, which made this a day for us to contribute instead of collect.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 5 / 5 / 3 / 4 were rewarded with a payout of $475.85 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
