Race 10 - The BC Distaff - # 11 Blue Prize (Arg) (8.90) - "B" Selection
Race 11 - The BC Turf - # 9 Bricks and Mortar (1.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 12 - The BC Classic - # 10 Vino Rosso (4.60) - "B" Selection
In my three Breeders' Cup Pick Four plays this weekend, I identified four runners that I thought probably should have been main ticket singles; but that I was pairing up with another entrant anyway. Those four (along with their eventual finish) were:
Arizona (Ire) (2.10*) - The BC Juvenile Turf - Finish: 5th
Sistercharlie (Ire) (0.80*) - The BC Filly and Mare Turf - Finish: 3rd
Midnight Bisou (1.00*) - The BC Distaff - Finish: 2nd
Bricks and Mortar (1.00*) - The BC Turf - Finish: 1st
I'm not sure what exactly to make out of that, other than it's probably a good idea for me not to single a runner every time that I believe that I should. Which, as it turns out, was indeed the correct strategy in this sequence, at least as far as Midnight Bisou was concerned; because without Blue Prize (Arg) on the main ticket I would not have cashed.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other five runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 5 Yoshida (Jpn) (7.40) - $586.30 Finish: 8th
# 6 Elate (9.30) - $599.65 Finish: 4th
# 8 McKinzie (2.90*) - $275.20 Finish: 2nd
# 9 Mongolian Groom (15.60) - $1,465.40 Finish: DNF
# 11 Code of Honor (3.70) - $228.90 Finish: 7th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct All BC Late Pick Four sequence of 11 / 11 / 9 / 10 which paid $440.80 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $352.30 on my initial $88.50 investment; or approximate odds of 3.98-1.
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
