1/20/18 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 6 Tinabud (Final Odds 3.40) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The Las Cienegas - # 1 Coniah (2.20) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 3 Jay Makes Us Laugh (11.20) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 6 Conquest Tsunami (4.80) - "C" Selection

Tinabud is a horse that I would not have used on the big ticket had I not hit the “ALL” button.  I had originally pegged Tinabud as a “C” Selection in the opening leg, along with # 2 Baytown Juliet; but when Baytown Juliet was scratched, I moved Tinabdud onto the big ticket; because using "ALL but one" in any leg of a multi-race wager is never a good idea.  Indeed, using "ALL but one" is the type of move that leads people to mumbling to themselves in the dark late at night.

But as it turned out, using Tinabud as a "C" would have led to the same result, with the play being ended in the penultimate leg when Jay Makes Us Laugh ran 'em off their feet.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  6 / 1 / 3 / 6  were rewarded with a payout of $552.50 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
