6/2/18 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 7 - The Snow Chief - # 1 Take the One O One (Final Odds 1.60) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Lemon Crush (2.50) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - The Beholder Mile - # 6 Unique Bella (0.50*) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - # 1 Vending Machine (13.20) - "C" Selection

Back in June, 2017, Vending Machine crossed under the wire first while charging down the Santa Anita hill, but was disqualified and placed fourth.  Saturday saw a similar outcome, with Vending Machine getting to the wire a head in front of # 8 Tina's Exchange (1.70*) after those two came together in the stretch; but this time the California stewards saw fit to let the result stand, making this a day for me to contribute instead of collect.

Oh well; onto the next race.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the three runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:

# 4 Spokane Eagle (7.50) - $166.55 Finish: 9th
# 5 Passionate Reward (5.10) - $57.60 Finish: 5th
# 8 Tina's Exchange (1.70*) - $34.25 Finish: 2nd

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  1 / 5 / 6 / 1  were rewarded with a payout of $167.70 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
