Race 8 - The Laurel Futurity - # 7 Catman (Final Odds 10.30) - "C" Selection
Race 9 - The James W Murphy - # 10 Don Juan Kitten (2.50*) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - The Black-Eyed Susan - # 9 Miss Marissa (10.10) - "C" Selection
Race 11 - The Preakness - # 4 Swiss Skydiver (11.70) - "A" Selection
In the preview I hoped that we'd get a memorable running of the Preakness; and we most certainly did! Congratulations to Swiss Skydiver and her connections, including Trainer Kenny McPeek and Jockey Robby Albarado, as the filly shows all heart in out-battling # 9 Authentic (1.50*) down the length of the Pimlico stretch to win what is normally the middle jewel of the Triple Crown.
Having Swiss Skydiver, the highest-paying winner in the sequence, as an "A" Selection certainly makes for a nice consolation prize. But, by definition, a consolation prize means that you missed the award that you were aiming for; as none of my tickets were able to connect four.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Preakness Pick Four sequence of 7 / 10 / 9 / 4 were rewarded with a payout of $4,574.00 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
