5/29/21 Golden Gate Fields Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 2 Ice Or Fire (Final Odds 4.50) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 6 Proof of Jazz (4.30) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 4 Family Trips (2.80) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 3 Princess Alma (19.50) - "C" Selection

I had considered punching the "ALL" button in Saturday's nightcap at Golden Gate when putting together my play; but doing so without making any other changes to my selections would have meant investing over a hundred dollars into a wager that seemed quite likely to pay less than half that amount.  So had I gone "ALL" in the finale I almost certainly would have dropped a runner or two from one of the other legs, meaning that there would have been a good chance that I would have missed one of the earlier winners in the sequence.  The bottom line is that sometimes you just aren't meant to catch 'em all; and so it was Saturday, which ultimately became a day for me to contribute instead of collect.

Oh well, onto the next race.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the six runners to which I would have cashed in the final leg:

# 1 Nijah (3.30) - $239.65 Finish: 2nd
# 2 Itainteasybeingray (1.90*) - $187.15 Finish: 9th
# 4 Quick Time (GB) (5.10) - $323.80 Finish: 3rd
# 9 You’re All Talk (41.00) - $4,415.35 Finish: 10th
# 10 Grazen Deb (6.00) - $338.55 Finish: 4th
# 11 Running Luck (12.40) - $624.95 Finish: 7th

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Late Pick Four sequence of  2 / 6 / 4 / 3  were rewarded with a payout of $2,696.65 for their fifty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
