Race 7 - # 2 Seaside Dancer (Final Odds 2.40*) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 13 Don't Sell (2.40*) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 2 Tough It Out (2.10*) - via DQ* - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 7 Florista (Ire) (2.10) - "B" Selection
* # 5 Alive and Well (3.70) crossed under the wire first in Race 9 but was disqualified and placed 8th.
I went back and forth during my analysis regarding whether or not to give Seaside Dancer a spot on the main ticket. I ultimately decided to relegate Seaside Dancer to backup "C" Selection status, as I had concerns about her ability to handle the eight furlongs.
Well, as you can see above, I was wrong about Seaside Dancer's ability to handle the distance in the opening leg, as she was able to lead the field all the way around the course, holding off "B" Selection # 3 Gorgeous in Grey (4.90) in the stretch to win by a neck. And that neck was the difference between me collecting and contributing, as the other three winners were all to be found on the main ticket.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 2 / 13 / 2 / 7 were rewarded with a payout of $91.70 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
