4/22/18 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - The San Juan Capistrano - # 2 Nessy (Final Odds 0.90*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 8 Hoffenheim (13.20) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 6 I'll Wrap It Up (5.60) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 2 Red Shelby (2.50) - "B" Selection

Hoffenheim, last a winner in 2016, was able to make it to the post only twice in 2017, losing those two contests to two rivals that he faced at Santa Anita on Sunday, # 2 Top of the Game (2.10*) and # 5 Ike Walker (4.20).  However, since being claimed by Trainer David Jacobson, Hoffenheim has shown steady improvement in his 2018 outings, culminating in his victory Sunday by three lengths; and it was my failure to predict Hoffenheim's continual improvement that made Sunday a day for me to contribute instead of collect.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  2 / 8 / 6 / 2  were rewarded with a payout of $281.40 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
