10/1/17 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 4 My Boo (Final Odds 2.50*) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The John Henry Turf Championship - # 1 Itsinthepost (1.60*) - "C" Selection
Race 8 - # 6 Just a Little Hope (5.90) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 Kristi's Copilot (14.10) - "C" Selection

You know how this song goes: had 'em all, but not all on any one ticket.  Itsinthepost could easily have been on the big ticket, being how tight he and # 8 Hunt (Ire) (2.30) were at the wire in their prior match up in the Del Mar Handicap.  But you have to be willing to take a stand somewhere in the sequence; and besides, putting Itsinthepost on the big ticket with Hunt would have doubled its cost while just setting the stage for a larger disappointment when Kristi's Copilot crossed first under the wire after setting all the fractions in the nightcap.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  4 / 1 / 6 / 4  were rewarded with a payout of $823.85 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
