Race 6 - # 1 Private Joke (Final Odds 3.20) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Lil' Chieftain (2.80) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Seattle Serenade (1.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Run Scout Run (1.30*) - "A" Selection
In hindsight, perhaps hitting the "ALL" button for the second leg was a bit of overkill; as eliminating, say, the two debut runners (neither of whom drew much money, nor finished in the Trifecta) would have substantially reduced the overall cost of the play. However, it's fair to speculate that, if I had not bought that race, then the eventual winner, Lil' Chieftain, may have been one of those left off the big ticket; as "the seventeenth time's the charm" angle is rarely a winning one.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other three runners to which I would have cashed in the finale:
# 2 Look At That (6.90) - $232.30 Finish: 6th
# 4 Mexicat (16.40) - $535.05 Finish: 5th
# 7 Highland Rose (1.80) - $89.35 Finish: 4th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 1 / 6 / 5 / 5 which paid $89.80 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $43.80 on the initial $46 investment, or approximate odds of 0.95-1; which, while not as profitable as if I had just put it all on my big ticket single, Seattle Serenade, to Win, is still profit; and is therefore greatly appreciated.
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
