Race 8 - The True North - # 3 Imperial Hint (Final Odds 1.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The New York - # 8 Fourstar Crook (4.40) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - The Belmont Gold Cup - # 1 Call To Mind (GB) (1.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 11 - # 7 Captain Hardship (8.30) - "C" Selection
In the nightcap at Belmont Park Friday, "B" Selection # 3 Wicked Trick (12.30) ran very well. Unfortunately, most of that running came after Wicked Trick had tossed Jockey Manny Franco off his back. Fortunately, all reports are that Franco is fine. Unfortunately for me, Wicked Trick choosing to run riderless spotlighted a questionable decision on my part to use him on my big ticket rather than Captain Hardship; a decision that made Friday 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 four runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 2 Mathematician (6.00) - $335.00 Finish: 3rd
# 3 Wicked Trick (12.30) - $918.75 Did Not Finish
# 5 Into the Breach (2.45*) - $227.00 Finish: 8th
# 8 Steeles Run (3.35) - $241.00 Finish: 6th
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 3 / 8 / 1 / 7 were rewarded with a payout of $473.00 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
