5/23/20 Santa Anita Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 6 Diamond of Value (Final Odds 3.10) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 4 Biddy Duke (5.20) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The Charles Whittingham - # 5 United (1.20) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 4 My Journey (3.10) - "B" Selection

As he was the ultimate winner, it could indeed be said that I should have singled United on the big ticket in the Charles Whittingham, as I mentioned in the preview that I was tempted to do.  Still, it's not easy to say just how much that would have lowered the cost of my play; as singling in the third leg would have undoubtedly led to me going wider in the other contests; which, as can be seen, would have been unnecessary, despite the fact that none of the four winners was a Post Time Favorite.

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

# 2 Vodka Twist (7.30) - $373.35 Finish: 4th
# 9 Dr. Hoffman (1.70*) - $136.80 Finish: 2nd
# 12 Salah (3.00) - $142.60 Finish: 6th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  6 / 4 / 5 / 4  which paid $190.05 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $115.05 on my initial $75.00 investment; or approximate odds of 1.53-1.

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
