Race 6 - # 6 Bazooka (Final Odds 1.30*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Eurobond (0.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 2 Bright Bling (0.10*) - "A" Selection & "C" Selection*
Race 9 - # 4 C P Quality (1.00*) - "B" Selection
* - # 6 Sooner Surprise, a "C" Selection, was a late scratch from Race 8; I therefore received Post Time Favorite Bright Bling in her place.
My play was looking good when the field came into the stretch in the nightcap; but then "A" Selection # 2 I'mabarncat, on the inside rail, began to drift, and drift, and then drift some more; eventual ending up on the outside rail. And while I'mabarncat was still able to hold onto the Place, all that sideways movement allowed # 4 C P Quality to get under the wire first; which, for me, was a significantly less satisfying result.
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 Hana Highway (10.60) - $32.95 Finish: 4th
# 2 I’mabarnkat (1.40) - $6.15 Finish: 2nd
# 3 Lunera (Mex) (18.80) - $37.30 Finish: 5th
# 7 Valokie (4.50) - $12.40 Finish: 3rd
Note that had I'mabarnkat won I would have collected the above payout four times: once for the big ticket; twice for the all “A” Selections ticket; and once for a Three A’s and One “C” ticket, thanks to the late scratch of Sooner Surprise in the third leg.
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Primetime Pick Four sequence of 6 / 6 / 2 / 4 which paid $8.65 for a fifty cent wager. Since I originally invested $12.50 in my play, I manage once again at Remington Park to cash at a loss; an annoying habit to have acquired. For while cashing at a loss is definitely better than not cashing at all, it's certainly not what I had in mind when I placed my bets.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
