7/14/12 BHP - Results

Time to settle up and see how we did.


RACE 4 - The Landluce Stakes


As expected, Miss Empire (Final Odds 5.7-1) was running late, coming on after having been sixth at the half.   Unfortunately, Executiveprivilege (0.3-1) was already in front of her at that point.  So Miss Empire was chasing Executiveprivilege in the stretch; and when it was all over, Miss Empire was still chasing Executiveprivilege, finishing four and a half lengths behind her, in third (Speedinthruthecity (8.2-1) took the Place).


Oh well; onto the next race.

RACE 5 - Maiden Claiming $20k


Officer Bavetta (Final Odds 4.2-1) was within two lengths of the leader after three furlongs; at which point Officer Bavetta advanced to the rear, finishing seventh, eleven and a half lengths behind the winner, Devgru (2.3-1).


Oh well; onto the next race.

RACE 7 - Claiming $16k Lifetime Non-Winners of Two


Ghost N Your Heart (Final Odds 7.4-1), over eleven lengths back at the quarter, and seven lengths back at the half, came on strong to win clear by over three lengths; thus making it look as if I might actually know what I'm talking about.


I hope you all had it with me.

The bottom line: one out of three ain't bad; especially when that one has the highest odds of the trio.  If you had bet $2 to Win on all three horses, you netted yourself $10.80 in profit; and that's a good result in anybody's book.


Onto the next race!


Peace and Love,
