Race 6 - # 10 Land Remembered (4.16) - "B+" Selection
Race 7 - # 3 Roc's Princess (9.72) - "C+" Selection
Race 8 - # 10 Joker On Jack (1.37*) - "A" Selection
And that's why you play backup tickets: so that when your big ticket single finishes sixth, you can still collect. In other news, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. 😎
Getting a bit more into specifics, the possibility of the two best horses in Race 7, # 13 Laugh and Play (3.40) and # 6 Her World (1.16*) dueling each other into exhaustion was definitely seen as a possibility when that leg was handicapped. That's why the eventual winner, Roc's Princess, was upgraded to "C+" status rather than just regular "C"; because of her ability to close. I should also add, in the interests of full discloser, that being able to close was the reason why # 12 Seize the Marquet (13.38) was also upgraded to "C+" status. The difference, however, is that Seize the Marquet got too close to the fast pace and wound up going backwards instead of forward. Fortunately for me, Roc's Princess began Race 7 well towards the back, and then moved up, so much so that Roc's Princess got her picture taken when the race was over.
Since Joker On Jack was the only runner to which I would have collected in the nightcap, there are no alternate Will Pay(s) to share. There's just what actually came to be, which was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 11 / 10 / 3 / 10 which paid $675.15 for a fifty cent wager. That makes for a profit of $630.15 on my initial $45.00 investment, or approximate odds of 14-1. Which is much, much better odds (and a much, much better return) than if I had just bet the $45.00 on my big ticket single, Laugh and Pray, as Laugh and Pray finished sixth.
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
