8/14/22 Woodbine Late Pick Four - Results

Race 8 - The Seagram Cup - # 2 War Bomber (Ire) (Final Odds 18.20) - "B" Selection
Race 9 - The Bison City - # 2 Sister Seagull (1.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 6 Dotted Line (1.45*) - "B" Selection
Race 11 - # 5 Bohemian Boy (2.40*) - "B" Selection

Watching the Post Time Favorite emerge victorious is not what a player wishes to see when they punch the "ALL" button, as I did in the third leg (Race 10) Sunday.  For that matter, having the Post Time Favorite win a contest where I went five deep, as was the case in the nightcap, suggests that I did a somewhat less than superior job of handicapping that event.  Still, it's difficult for me to be overly critical of my mistakes on a day when I was fortunate enough to catch a nice price in the opener, and then follow through with selecting the subsequent winners in the sequence.

For the record, here are the $0.20 Will Pays for the other four runners to which I would have cashed in the nightcap:

# 1 Embrace My Uncle (18.00) - $698.16 Finish: 10th
# 2 Nashtrick (4.50) - $225.03 Finish: 3rd
# 4 Ron’s Gizmo (10.35) - $337.59 Finish: 4th
# 11 Big Executive (10.00) - $559.22 Finish: 8th

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  2 / 2 / 6 / 5  which paid $115.02 for a twenty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $75.42 on my initial $39.60 investment, or approximate odds of 1.90-1.

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
