8/5/17 Santa Rosa Late Pick Four - Results

Race 7 - # 6 Urban Bourbon (Final Odds 5.70) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 3 Small Town Shuffle (3.50) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - The Luther Burbank - # 2 Lady Valeur (Ire) (1.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 10 Tune to Win (9.70) - "A" Selection

You've seen this enough times to know how this works: had 'em all, but not all on any one ticket.  Perhaps Urban Bourbon deserved better consideration in the opening leg; but how to justify including Urban Bourbon on the big ticket without also including # 1 Call Saul (3.90), the horse who had crossed the wire in front of him last time out?  Of course, leaving that leg alone but upgrading Small Town Shuffle from a "B" Selection to an "A" Selection in the next contest would have had the same effect of turning a losing play into a winning one.  But all these "what ifs" do nothing to change history, which will record that this was a day to contribute instead of collect.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  6 / 3 / 2 / 10  were rewarded with a payout of $348.40 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
