11/5/17 Del Mar Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 8 Sasini (GB) (Final Odds 2.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 9 Make It a Triple (1.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 4 Moonless Sky (1.70*) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 9 Topgallant (3.30*) - "B" Selection

So a day after the Breeders' Cup madness where Post Time Favorites seemed to be avoiding the Winner's Circle at all costs, we have a chalk 'em up Sunday where only two of the nine winners on the card didn't have an asterisk after its final odds; and one of those two still only paid $5.80.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other four runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:

# 1 Second Gear (9.30) - $87.80 Finish: 7th
# 8 Brilliant Light (5.00) - $64.45 Finish: 3rd
# 10 Super Duper Cooper (3.90) - $57.05 Finish: 2nd
# 12 Chin Tu (13.70) - $122.55 Finish: 8th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Pick Four sequence of  8 / 9 / 4 / 9  which paid $71.90 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $11.90 on the initial $60 investment, or approximate odds of .20-1, or 1-5.  Which sure ain't much; but if you think that I'm turning my nose up at profit of any kind, especially after a day like the past two, well, you just don't know me.

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
