Race 7 - # 5 Day Dreamer (4.10) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 6 Red N Wild (2.00*) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 6 Forty Nine Model (1.50*) - "A" Selection
Needless to say, when you have only half the winners on your mult-race tickets, you have not had a good night of handicapping. Worse still is that the two winners that I did have were both Post Time Favorites that I had not singled.
Looking at my two misses, Day Dreamer is one for which I perhaps could have given greater consideration. Day Dreamer was going third off the layoff, suggesting that he could improve off his most recent effort.
Earnednevergiven would have been a much more difficult selection. In a contest restricted to runners which had either not won a race at a mile or over since June 21, 2020, or which had not won four races in their career, Earnednevergiven qualified on both counts; having only three career victories entering Saturday's contest, and having not won a race at a mile or over since he broke his maiden back on August 16, 2018. As for recency, you would have had to have gone eight starts back, back to November 8, 2019, to find the last time prior to Saturday night that Earnednevergiven had finished in the Trifecta. So God bless all who had Earnednevergiven, because there was no way I was going to have him without hitting the "ALL" button.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Primetime Pick Four sequence of 10 / 5 / 6 / 6 were rewarded with a payout of $413.20 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
