Race 8 - # 5 Fashionably Fast (6.10) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - The Pat O'Brien - # 7 Catalina Cruiser (0.50*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 2 M Town Gem (15.80) - "C" Selection
The Pat O'Brien saw an epic throw down between Catalina Cruiser and # 4 Great Expectations (3.90), with the Favorite needing to give all that he had to get under the wire just a head in front. So, on the one hand, I was correct in my prediction that Great Expectations would "give Catalina Cruiser a serious run for his money." But on the other hand, the odds on favorite did win, meaning I could have significantly cut the cost of my play by making Catalina Cruiser a big ticket single.
The nightcap saw another tight finish, with just a head separating the top three finishers. So change the results of the second half of the sequence by a head each and this could have been a profitable day; but the two heads proved to be too much, making Saturday a day to contribute instead of collect.
Oh well; onto the next race.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the three runners to which I would have cashed in the finale:
# 1 Tartini (6.30) - $120.70 Finish: 7th
# 4 Combat Zone (2.50*) - $56.05 Finish: 3rd
# 5 River God (7.60) - $145.55 Finish: 8th
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of 7 / 5 / 7 / 2 were rewarded with a payout of $270.60 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
