Race 5 - # 6 Miranda Rights (Final Odds 1.11*) - "A" Selection
Race 6 - # 3 Maybe Later (2.93) - "C+" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Charlee O (7.05) - "B+" Selection
Race 8 - # 8 Bobbie Sox (14.18) - "C+" Selection
I was surprised that the public made Miranda Rights the Post Time Favorite in the opening leg. As I wrote in the preview, I really thought that # 1 Donegal Arrow (2.35), who took the Place behind Miranda Rights, would get the lion's share of the Win Pool. Sill, while my reasoning was off, my selection was right, as I had Miranda Rights as my top pick. So a nice bit of good luck there.
Unfortunately, I wasn't quite as lucky as the sequence went on. Maybe Later really should have been on the big ticket, just from what I wrote about her in the preview. Charlee O deserved stronger consideration as my "A" Selection in the third leg, based upon how much she was dropping in class.
And yet, despite all that, I was still alive heading into the nightcap. So all things considered, I have nothing to complain about; especially as regards luck. Meaning that the best way to wrap this up is to just say:
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 last leg of the sequence:
# 4 Three Sport Coats (7.58) - $647.83 Finish: 6th
# 5 Miss J D (2.98) - $186.01 Finish: 12th
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 6 / 3 / 6 / 8 were rewarded with a payout of $938.91 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
