Race 6 - # 7 Spokane Eagle (Final Odds 3.70) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - The San Gabriel - # 7 Next Shares (1.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Popular Kid (3.30) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The Sham - # 6 Gunmetal Gray (3.70) - "C" Selection
Race 10 - # 10 Derby Factor (12.30) - "C" Selection
I was correct to be skeptical of # 5 Coliseum (0.60*) in the Grade 3 Sham Saturday. Unfortunately, I was incorrect regarding which runner to put on the big ticket with Coliseum; as, contrary to my analysis in the preview, Gunmetal Gray proved to be very capable of coming off the pace and gaining ground in the drive. So for that and other reasons, Saturday was a day for me to contribute instead of collect.
Oh well; onto the next race.
For the record, here is the $0.50 Will Pay for the runner to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 4 Sergio (2.20) - $420.40 Finish: 8th
Incidentally, I suspect that the actual payout would have been higher than the above amount had Sergio won, as there was a late scratch in the nightcap (# 5 Paul's Diva), which means that Santa Anita calculates Will Pay's for the multi-race sequences for each runner with the presumption that they will be the Post Time Favorite.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Five sequence of 7 / 7 / 7 / 6 / 10 were rewarded with a payout of $8,830.50 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
