Race 7 - The Bear Fan - # 6 Fast and Foxy (Final Odds 1.50*) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Unusually Green (3.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 Macalla (2.60*) - No Selection*
Race 10 - # 1 Sizzlin' Joe (1.10*) - "A" Selection
* # 10 Pequena Maty (6.60) crossed under the wire first in Race 9, but was disqualified and placed last
Macalla had finished behind both # 10 Pequena Maty (6.60) and # 7 Exciting Dixie (31.10) last time out, so there was little reason to expect her to finish in front of those two today. And she didn't; well, she did finish in front of Exciting Dixie; but Pequena Maty was comfortably ahead of her at the Finish Line. But because Pequena Maty had interfered with # 3 Lady Chrome (33.60) in the stretch, which in turn created a chain reaction involving several runners, including Exciting Dixie, it was Macalla's number that got put up as the winner of Race 9.
Not that any of that really mattered to my play; as my only chance to collect Saturday was to have # 6 Chocolate Goddess (9.00) win Race 9. So once Chocolate Goddess faded in the stretch after having led the field through the opening half mile, my last remaining ticket turned into trash.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 6 / 5 / 4 / 1 were rewarded with a payout of $128.50 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
