As expected, Off the Wall (Final Odds 11.3-1) went to the lead early in Race 7 at Santa Anita Sunday. Unfortunately, Off the Wall was unable to hold on at the end, finishing fourth, three lengths back. Even more unfortunate, my other two selections in this leg of the Pick Four, Cherokee Heaven (13.1-1) and El Vino (16-1), both finished even further behind the winner, Royal F J (9.7-1), than Off the Wall did, making the race a complete wash out. Nothing like correctly predicting that none of the public's top three selections for the race will win, and yet still not picking a horse that finished in the money.
Needless to say, once the first leg of the Pick Four was kaput, the rest of the ticket came through with flying colors. Indeed, legs two and three were won by the suggested singles: the heavily favored Distracting (0.6-1) in Race 8; and Slim Shadey (GB) (3.2-1) in Race 9. The final leg (Race 10) was won by Currahee (4.8-1), giving us a Pick Four ticket with 75% of the winners correctly picked. Those fortunate enough to have correctly selected 100% of the Pick Four winners were rewarded with $383.75 for every fifty cents that they wagered.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
