Race 6 - # 1 Bazooka (Final Odds 4.10) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 1 Fallstar (1.80*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - # 9 No Lak of Speed (2.20) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 9 Brenda's Fever (3.30) - "C" Selection
Brenda's Fever certainly fit as a contender in the nightcap based upon class, having won at this level her previous time out. But that previous time out was at a distance of just five and a half furlongs. If you wanted to find the last time that Brenda's Fever finished in the Trifecta going a mile or longer you would have had to go back more than ten races, to a time when she was traveling between the barns of Trainer Steve Asmussen and Trainer Brad Cox. So concerns about her making the distance led me to leave Brenda's Fever off my main ticket; and not having Brenda's Fever on my main ticket is what led me to contributing Saturday, instead of collecting.
Oh well; onto the next race.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the two runners to which I would have cashed in the final leg:
# 7 A J's Grand (1.40*) - $100.00 Finish: 4th
# 12 Skip's Song (4.50) - $219.85 Finish: 6th
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 1 / 1 / 9 / 9 were rewarded with a payout of $137.65 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
