9/15/18 Golden Gate Fields Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 3 Boomchicaboom (Final Odds 0.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 4 Bezzy (5.00) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - # 1 Cool Hunter (1.50*) - "B" Selection & "B" Selection*
Race 9 - # 7 Aztec Warrior (3.10*) - "A" Selection

* # 7 Lullaby's Orphan, a "B" Selection, was a late scratch from Race 8, so I received Cool Hunter, the Post Time Favorite, in his place.

Pretty formful running of the card on Saturday, with three of the four winners in the sequence being the top choice of the wagering public.  In the category of "It's Better To Be Lucky Than Good", I get two for the price of one in the third leg, with the late scratch of one of my "B" Selections.

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

# 6 Six Cider (4.40) - $104.65 Finish: 8th
# 8 Topgallant (4.60) - $156.70 Finish: 7th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  3 / 4 / 1 / 7  which paid $79.10 for a fifty cent wager.  Since I had it twice (thanks to the late scratch of Lullaby's Orphan) I pocket $158.20.  That makes for a profit of $114.20 on my initial $44 investment, or approximate odds of 2.60-1.

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
