Race 6 - # 7 My Slew (Final Odds 2.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 5 Fueled by Bourbon (12.70) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The Adoration - # 4 Beholder (0.20*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 7 Big Move (0.50*) - "A" Selection
Since we also had # 4 Somethings Unusual (6.60), the horse that crossed the wire first in Race 7 but was DQ'd, we were covered regardless of what the stewards decided; but since their take down of Somethings Unusual gave us a better payout, we have to grudgingly accept that sometimes these things do go our way.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 1 Unusual Storm (9.30) - $422.75 Finish: 3rd
# 2 Dixie Tweet (9.40) - $259.35 Finish: 6th
# 3 Lily Kai (7.00) - $360.30 Finish: 4th
But that's what might have been. The actual winning Pick Four sequence of 7 / 5 / 4 / 7 paid $79.55 for a fifty cent wager. Which, granted, isn't much; indeed, it's not quite even money on our initial $46 investment. But it's much more than we would have collected had we just put the whole amount on Beholder to Win; and it sure as heck is more than we would have collected had we lost. Besides, as my close personal friend Sully likes to say, nobody ever went broke cashing tickets.
I hope you all had it with me. May God bless us as we spend our winnings.
Onto the next race!
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
