2/8/20 Turfway Park Late Pick Four - Results

Race 5 - # 9 Estill (Final Odds 1.10*) - "A" Selection
Race 6 - # 2 Willy I Am (6.00) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 7 Riverboat Gambler (0.60*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Promised Fame (6.10) - "A" Selection

Prior to posting my selections for Saturday evening, I gave serious thought to making either or both # 9 Estill in Race 5 or # 5 Going for Gold (2.90) in Race 7 big ticket singles.  While such a move certainly would have made my play much less expensive, it also (depending upon how I chose) could have made it unprofitable.  So, needless to say, I'm pleased with my decision to go with a wider spread in those two events, as Saturday became a day for me to collect instead of contribute.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other four runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:

# 1 Bivian B (6.00) - $109.65 Finish: 7th
# 3 Matzo Bella (1.90*) - $90.60 Finish: 5th
# 10 Comecatchme (13.00) - $460.15 Finish: 4th
# 11 The Ash Factor (9.30) - $235.65 Finish: 8th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  9 / 2 / 7 / 7  which paid $149.00 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $68.50 on my initial $80.50 investment; or approximate odds of 0.85-1.

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
