Race 6 - The Los Alamitos Futurity - # 3 Mastery (Final Odds 0.20*) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Adios Cali (2.00) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - The Starlet - # 6 Abel Tasman (12.60) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Yodelers Way (2.60) - "A" Selection
Based upon the way he ran in the stretch and comments made afterwards by Jockey Mike Smith, don't be surprised if the hood comes back off for Mastery's next contest; as Mastery seemed a little lost coming out of the second turn, causing him to slow down to look around and get his bearings. But on the other hand it appears that any added distance should not be a problem for Mastery going forward, as Smith indicated that Mastery actually was going faster on the gallop out than he was coming to the wire. Personally, I still prefer Beach Bum as my Derby horse; but there's no doubt that, as long as he stays healthy, Mastery is one that will be in the mix.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other three runners to which we were alive in the finale:
# 1 Downside Up (2.00*) - $172.10 Finish: 6th
# 2 We Go Now (2.70) - $177.35 Finish: 3rd
# 3 Opus Dei (75.20) - $1,722.60 Finish: 8th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Pick Four sequence of 3 / 6 / 6 / 5 which paid $180.90 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $126.90 on our $54 investment, or approximate odds of 2.35-1.
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
