4/26/14 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - # 5 Sizzlin' Joe (Final Odds 3.60) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - The Melair - # 2 Rovenna (2.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - The Snow Chief - # 4 Awesome Return (4.10) - "C" Selection
Race 11 - # 11 Jovita's Tuffy (2.20) - "A" Selection

We had 'em all, but not all together.  But to be completely frank, we really weren't all that close to cashing; for neither of our two "A" selections in Race 8 - # 2 Woodmans Luck (2.90*) and # 3 Awesome Prospect (4.30) - made it into the Exacta; while our sole "A" in The Snow Chief, # 6 Tamarando (1.50*), was a well beaten fourth.  Sure, we collect if we bet it caveman style; but we sure don't profit.  A better chance would have been if we swapped which "Awesome" we made an "A" and which we made a "C".  But neither of those things happened, so we wind up with a pair of tickets with three out of four winners; which, as you all know, pays absolutely nothing.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  5 / 2 / 4 / 11  were rewarded with a $172.50 payout for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
