Race 6 - # 5 Quick Buck (Final Odds 0.80*) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - # 1 Taming the Tigress (0.40*) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - The Robert B Lewis - # 1 Messier (0.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 7 Principe Carlo (1.90*) - "A" Selection
The four asterisks above should tell you all that you need to know about Sunday's Late Pick Four. Certainly having the sequence chalk out, with each leg being won by the Post Time Favorite, is a hazard that can be encountered whenever one plays a multi-race sequence. But when the fields are small, as they were today, a Four Favorites outcome is guaranteed to produce a paltry payout.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other five runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:
# 4 I’m Corfu (12.10) - $35.70 Finish: 3rd
# 5 Smileforme (21.90) - $67.10 Finish: 7th
# 6 Teton Valley (2.60) - $12.05 Finish: 2nd
# 8 Sea to Success (12.80) - $37.30 Finish: 8th
# 9 Truth Seeker (17.30) - $64.55 Finish: 4th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 5 / 1 / 1 / 7 which paid $8.40 for a fifty cent wager; an amount which is considerably less than my initial investment of $37.50. And while cashing at a loss beats not cashing at all, in this case, not by much. And it's certainly not what I had in mind when I placed my bets.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
