7/29/17 Sacramento Gold Rush Pick Six - Results

Race 4 - # 2 Golden Bubbles (Final Odds 1.70*) - "C" Selection
Race 5 - # 4 Aloha Spirit (1.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 6 - # 3 Melinda's Girl (2.60) - "A" Selection
Race 7 - # 4 Kern Ridge (24.20) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 5 Awe (3.80) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 5 Speed Saver (3.20) - "A" Selection

I was able to get my big ticket single home in Race 5, and the leg in which I hit the "ALL" button (Race 8) saw the entrant that was the fourth longest shot on the board (in a field of five) get the head bob over the Post Time Favorite, # 2 Black Sona (1.60*).  I even got non-Favorite "A" Selections home in two other legs.  So I must have cleaned up today; right?

Well, no.  The public saw something in Golden Bubbles that I had not, betting the class dropping filly down from her Morning Line of 5-2 to the Post Time Favoritism odds of 8-5; and, unfortunately for me, the public was right.  In retrospect, using my 20-20 hindsight, I perhaps should have found room for Golden Bubbles on my big ticket.  As for Kern Ridge; well, when a runner like Kern Ridge beats you, there's little to say other than:

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Gold Rush Pick Six sequence of  2 / 4 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 5  were non-existent.  Nobody picked six on Saturday.  Those who picked five out of six were rewarded with a payout of $71.06 for their twenty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
