Race 5 - # 2 Mirror Image (Final Odds 3.50) - "C" Selection
Race 6 - # 2 Nap Lajoie (5.20) - No Selection
Race 7 - # 3 We Will Re Joyce (1.90*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Courtship (3.10) - "B" Selection
As mentioned in the preview, Mirror Image was victorious in his only other try over this track; in retrospect, that should have been sufficient to warrant Mirror Image's inclusion on the big ticket.
Sill, the addition of Mirror Image by itself would not have been enough to keep the big ticket from becoming trash, as Nap Lajoie was not a part of my play; and, in retrospect, does not seem to have deserved to be a part of my play. In his most recent start prior to Saturday, Nap Lajoie was defeated by less expensive stock; and in his two most recent tries on a Fast dirt track, Nap Lajoie had finished 8th and 7th, a combined fifty-nine lengths behind the winner. It's difficult to imagine Nap Lajoie finding his way onto the big ticket under any scenario that does not involve the "ALL" button.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 2 / 2 / 3 / 7 were rewarded with a payout of $194.60 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
