6/6/15 Belmont Park All Grade 1 Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - The Just A Game - # 9 Tepin (Final Odds 4.60) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The Metropolitan - # 9 Honor Code (7.10) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - The Manhattan - # 7 Slumber (GB) - (14.10) - No Selection
Race 11 - The Belmont Stakes - # 5 American Pharoah (0.75*) - "A" Selection

We totally whiffed on The Manhattan, as we not only had no part of Slumber (GB) winning his first race in almost two years, we also failed to get either of our two "A" Selections to finish in the money.

Oh well; onto the next race.

But enough about us.  The big story on the day, of course, is American Pharoah.  Congrats to him, Trainer Bob Baffert, Jockey Victor Espinoza, and the Zayat family.  I'm happy for them; but I'm even happier for all those horse racing fans too young to remember the last Triple Crown winner, who now have their own memories of having witnessed this remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of  9 / 9 / 7 / 5  were rewarded with a payout of $1,148.75 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
