Race 6 - # 3 Mercer Island (Final Odds 3.20) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The San Marcos - # 5 Itsinthepost (Fr) (0.90*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The San Pasqual - # 3 Accelerate (3.70) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 11 Bowie (3.00*) - "B" Selection
Fortunately this isn't billiards, where you have to call your shot, because it was Accelerate passing a tiring # 2 Mubtaahij (Ire) (3.10) in the stretch (rather than the other way around, as I had written it might play out) to win the Grade 2 San Pasqual. Combine that result with Itsinthepost (Fr) winning the Grade 2 San Marcos by the slimmest of margins in a photo with # 7 Hayabusa One (Fr) (14.90), and you have a quality example of a day where it was better to have been lucky than good.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other four runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 3 Ms Wakaya (12.80) - $416.50 Finish: 2nd
# 5 Gotham Desire (9.60) - $301.95 Finish: 10th
# 8 Beau Square (3.20) - $112.00 Finish: 3rd
# 10 Del Mar Ann (4.30) - $128.85 Finish: 7th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 3 / 5 / 3 / 11 which paid $106.40 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $59.90 on my initial $46.50 investment, or approximate odds of 1.29-1.
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
