Race 6 - # 1 Oliver's Tale (Final Odds 4.70) - No Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Remind Mee (3.20) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The San Simeon - # 5 Sweet Swap (1.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 3 Kid Rollins (2.50) - "A" Selection
We were able to get home "A" selections in three of the four legs. But the leg we missed; man, did we miss!
We had no part of Oliver's Tale, who was making not just his first start charging down the hill, but his first start on any turf course. But Oliver's Tale manged to take the lead at first call after breaking last of all from the gate; which, incidentally, makes for the rather ironic trouble line of "off slow" for a horse that lead the field from first call to last.
But it wasn't just Oliver's Tale that we had no part of. Neither the Place horse (# 4 Hawkedon (10.40)) nor the Show horse (# 10 Major Truth (13.60)) were to be found anywhere on our tickets. So, yeah, Race 6 was a real swing and a miss for us.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 1 / 6 / 5 / 3 were rewarded with a $122.20 payout for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
