Race 4 - # 1 Nahem (Final Odds 5.60) - "B" Selection
Race 5 - # 3 Johnny Reb (3.30) - "C" Selection
Race 6 - # 4 Oil (2.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - The Golden Poppy - # 6 Lady Valeur (Ire) (0.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 9 J C's Nightcap (12.50) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Unusual Taste (2.50) - "A" Selection
I thought enough of Johnny Reb's chances in the second leg to use him in my play; but I didn't think enough of him to put him on the big ticket. So Johnny Reb wiring the field in Race 5, crossing under the wire a length in front of "A" Selection # 5 Nightime Olympics (2.10), was the difference Saturday between collecting or contributing; because it's not enough to have all the winners on your tickets; you have to have them all on the same ticket if you want to get paid.
So I ended up with five of the six winners on my big ticket; which, as you all already know, pays just as much as if I had none of the six winners on my big ticket. But you really can't be too hard on yourself for missing it on a day when everyone else missed it too.
Well, almost everyone else.
Oh well; onto the next race.
And, yes, the jackpot got scooped Saturday, as the correct Golden Pick Six sequence of 1 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 9 / 5 pays out $218,795.84 for a twenty cent wager to a single winning ticket holder. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
