Race 8 - The BC Mile - # 7 Expert Eye (GB) (Final Odds 5.90) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The BC Distaff - # 11 Monomoy Girl (1.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - The BC Turf - # 2 Enable (GB) (0.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 11 - The BC Classic - # 14 Accelerate (2.70*) - "B" Selection
Both Monomy Girl and Enable (GB) made me look foolish while winning, as either or both of them really should have been big ticket singles. And as it turned out, the combination of using all non-big ticket runners as backup "C" Selections in the final leg meant that I could have singled anybody in that race as well, and still have collected while spending much less on my play. But all that is just twenty-twenty hindsight voicing its observations; as the bottom line is the bottom line, and despite the mistakes I still cash instead of contribute.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other thirteen runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 1 Thunder Snow (Ire) (14.50) - $375.90 Finish: 3rd
# 2 Roaring Lion (19.70) - $513.35 Finish: 14th
# 3 Catholic Boy (5.10) - $170.85 Finish: 13th
# 4 Gunnevera (30.80) - $943.95 Finish: 2nd
# 5 Lone Sailor (90.90) - $4,948.10 Finish: 6th
# 6 McKinzie (3.90) - $126.80 Finish: 12th
# 7 West Coast (6.60) - $177.65 Finish: 7th
# 8 Pavel (39.70) - $1,341.35 Finish: 10th
# 9 Mendelssohn (13.30) - $494.65 Finish: 5th
# 10 Yoshida (Jpn) (14.50) - $375.25 Finish: 4th
# 11 Mind Your Biscuits (9.10) - $257.90 Finish: 11th
# 12 Axelrod (51.70) - $1,143.00 Finish: 9th
# 13 Discreet Lover (53.30) - $2,588.60 Finish: 8th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 7 / 11 / 2 / 14 which paid $157.95 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $38.95 on my initial $119.00 investment, or approximate odds of 0.33-1. Which may not be much; but believe me, it sure beats not cashing at all.
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
