Race 5 - # 2 Blingismything (Final Odds 4.70) - "C" Selection
Race 6 - # 3 Alfa Bird (0.90*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - The Hollywood Turf Cup - # 3 Finnegans Wake (3.90) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 9 Jazzy Josh (9.10) - "C" Selection
We had 'em all; but we didn't have 'em all together. We were right to discount the chances of the Morning Line and Post Time Favorite in the opener, # 5 Royal Temptress (Ire) (2.70*), and we were correct in our belief that Finnegans Wake would respond well to having Jockey Victor Espinoza on his back again. But we didn't think enough of Blingismything to make her an "A" Selection; and likewise we chose in the finale to prefer the experienced runners over the first time starter. One of those two mistakes could have been overcome; but the two mistakes together proved fatal, and caused all our tickets to turn into trash.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 2 / 3 / 3 / 9 were rewarded with a payout of $319.25 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
