Race 7 - # 9 Exemplar (Final Odds 6.20) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The City of Hope Mile - # 10 Vyjack (4.30) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - # 9 Westmont (1.30*) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - # 10 Partyinthepaddock (1.20*) - "A" Selection
Including Vyjack on our big ticket as our single instead of # 8 Obviously (Ire) (1.00*) (who took the Show in The City of Hope Mile) is an idea only possible with the use of 20-20 hindsight; and including Vyjack with Obviously on the big ticket would have completely blown up the budget, or required gutting our selections in the other legs; which, again with 20-20 hindsight, may not have been that bad an idea. But realistically the fault in today's play was the failure to give more consideration to Westmont as an "A" Selection, at the very least alongside our other two "A" Selections in that leg, # 2 Iron Curtain (27.70) and # 11 Downside Up (4.70) (who took the Place and Show, respectively, behind Westmont). But we didn't, and for that reason today was a day for us to contribute instead of collect.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 9 / 10 / 9 / 10 were rewarded with a payout of $155.10 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
