9/22/18 Golden Gate Fields Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 3 Mommy Rose (Final Odds 0.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 4 True Testament (0.90*) - "A" Selection & "B" Selection*
Race 8 - # 7 Fort Cady (1.80) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 1 Rideo (2.70) - "A" Selection

* # 8 Zoning, a "B" Selection, was a late scratch from Race 7, so I received True Testament, the Post Time Favorite, in her place.

Can't complain about a result where I catch four Aces, especially where half of them weren't the Post Time Favorite.  Still, that was some rather curious wagering by the public in the third leg, as they chose to make # 8 Rainbow North (1.10*) the Post Time Favorite, even though (as I pointed out in the preview) Fort Cady had finished two and a half lengths in front of Rainbow North last time out.  Also, hindsight being twenty-twenty, I should have made Fort Cady a big ticket single; but again, I can't complain about the results.

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

# 2 Midnight Ming (2.40*) - $24.40 Finish: 2nd
# 4 Plate Side (11.90) - $129.60 Finish:10th
# 5 Suances Secret (59.10) - $487.05 Finish: 12th
# 6 River Rose (5.60) - $45.15 Finish: 4th
# 7 Dancing Harbor (56.40) - $572.95 Finish: 6th
# 8 Soltero (11.40) - $72.60 Finish: 8th
# 9 Drinkin and Dialin (65.00) - $702.75 Finish: 9th
# 10 Yerevan Song (74.30) - $685.50 Finish: 11th
# 11 Tune to Win (9.30) - $99.70 Finish: 5th
# 12 Uber Star (7.60) - $120.95 Finish: 3rd
# 13 Unpossible (22.00) - $142.85 Finish: 7th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  3 / 4 / 7 / 1  which paid $25.95 for a fifty cent wager.  Since I had it four times (twice on the All "A" Selections ticket, and twice on the big ticket due to the late scratch of Zoning) I pocket $103.80.  That makes for a profit of $41.30 on my initial $62.50 investment, or approximate odds of 0.66-1.

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
