5/7/17 Golden Gate Fields Golden Pick 6 - Results

Race 4 - # 1 My Discretion (Final Odds 2.80) - "C" Selection
Race 5 - # 3 Motutapo (1.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 6 - # 2 Mon Petite (1.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 2 Fort Cady (5.90) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 3 Ted Oliver (19.40) - No Selection
Race 9 - # 1 It Girl (2.30) - "A" Selection

Getting "A" Selections home in half the legs may not be half bad, but it sure ain't good.  We completely whiffed on Fort Cady, whose prior proficiency at today's distance coupled with his working the "two sprints to a route" angle should have warranted him stronger consideration.  We also completely whiffed on Ted Oliver; but, truth be told, if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably still leave him off our tickets; as Ted Oliver's win seemed to owe a great deal more to # 2 Synnin (3.20) getting stuck in traffic late rather than to his own ability.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Golden Pick Six sequence of  1 / 3 / 2 / 2 / 3 / 1  were rewarded with a payout of $2,584.40 for their twenty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
