Race 7 - # 3 Coco Kisses (Final Odds 2.10*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The California Distaff - # 10 Love a Honeybadger (2.40) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 Two Fifty Coup (0.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 6 Lightning Dove (4.10) - "C" Selection
While I strongly considered Lightning Dove for inclusion on the big ticket, I ultimately decided to use # 13 Snaked (9.80) instead, because I didn't like the way Lightning Dove had run in her two most recent races when going around just one turn on the flats. But while failing to give a spot on the big ticket to Lightning Dove was a mistake, it was just one mistake. Going five deep in the opening leg just to watch the Favorite romp was another notable error, as was doubling the cost of the big ticket by not making Two Fifty Coup a single in the penultimate contest. Correcting either of those two errors would have allowed for Lightning Dove's inclusion on the big ticket, and made Saturday a day to collect, rather than contribute. But such was not to be.
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:
# 2 Well Hello (1.80) - $53.60 Finish: 3rd
# 12 Tyfosha (1.30*) - $42.10 Finish: 2nd
# 13 Snaked (9.80) - $334.05 Finish: 4th
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 3 / 10 / 4 / 6 were rewarded with a payout of $63.05 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
