Race 7 - # 5 Classy Tune (Final Odds 1.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The Del Mar Mile - # 5 Blackjackcat (8.80) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 10 Zatter (1.70*) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - # 7 Brooks House (10.80) - No Selection
I had given strong consideration to making Blackjackcat a "B" Selection in The Del Mar Mile based upon his victory over # 1 Vyjack (3.60) last time out in the Wickerr. Had I done so, I would have just set myself up for disappointment in the nightcap, which was the epitome of the old Allen Jerkens quote: "Turf racing, where one horse wins and six should have!" As I had given little thought to the possibility that that one horse today might be Brooks House, this was going to be a day for me to contribute instead of collect regardless of what I had done in the prior legs.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 5 / 5 / 10 / 7 were rewarded with a payout of $738.10 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
