11/17/18 Del Mar Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 6 Jump the Tracks (Final Odds 1.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 7 Absolutely Perfect (7.50) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The Bob Hope - # 3 Mucho Gusto (0.80*) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 8 Baby Bear's Soup (3.10) - "B" Selection

Trainer Bob Baffert showed off a pair of impressive juvenile runners Saturday: the debuting Coliseum (0.50*) in the curtain jerker at Del Mar, and second time starter Mucho Gusto, winner of the Grade 3 Bob Hope, as shown above.  And, of course, Baffert still has Game Winner, winner of the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile earlier this month.  So it's not even Thanksgiving, and yet Baffert is already loaded for bear regarding the 2019 Triple Crown events.

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

# 1 Matriculate (4.00) - $105.50 Finish: 5th
# 3 Vending Machine (3.30) - $91.05 Finish: 6th
# 5 Go Ghetto (5.00) - $122.05 Finish: 2nd
# 6 Louden's Gray (4.10) - $107.05 Finish: 4th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  6 / 7 / 3 / 8  which paid $114.85 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $44.35 on my initial $70.50 investment, or approximate odds of 0.63-1.

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
