4/14/18 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - # 5 Tule Fog (Final Odds 3.50) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 8 Mesa Sky (3.70) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - # 1 Aquaphobia (2.20*) - "A" Selection
Race 11 - # 6 Insubordination (1.60*) - "A" Selection

Hindsight being 20-20, Aquaphobia and Insubordination were easy enough winners while running true to form that either or both could have been big ticket singles; but doesn't it always feel that way when a Post Time Favorite / "A" Selection crosses under the wire first?  On the other hand, Mesa Sky was one that I had on the bubble between a "B" and a "C" due to the class rise off a close win; needless to say, I'm glad that I found room for him on the big ticket.

For the record, here's the $0.50 Will Pay for the other runner to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:

# 8 Jerry's Thunder (2.20) - $178.00 Finish: 5th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  5 / 8 / 1 / 6  which paid $174.20 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $120.20 on my initial $54.00 investment, or approximate odds of 2.23-1.

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
