5/27/17 Golden Gate Fields Golden Pick 6 - Preview

Saturday marks the beginning of a holiday weekend in the United States; so here's hoping that all the wonderful things that you planned over the course of these three days comes to pass.  For me, those good things involve playing the ponies at Golden Gate Fields, as I take another run at The Golden Pick Six at The Bay's Best Bet.

RACE 4 - (F) Clm $5k N2X - Eight Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 4 One Putt Par (Morning Line 9-5)

B’s

# 1 Cacica Dulima (ML 2-1)

C's

None

One Putt Par and Cacica Dulima bookended the Superfecta last time out, with One Putt Par getting the Win while Cacica Dulima disappointed as the Post Time Favorite.  Since every other runner in this field exits that same race, the question here is which entrant(s) can be expected to improve upon that effort; and in my opinion these are the two most likely candidates.

RACE 5 - Clm $6.25k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 5 Danas Best (Aus) (ML 6-5)

B’s

# 1 Nahem (ML 5-1)

C's

# 2 Bountiful Desert (ML 6-1)
# 4 Moogie Woogie (ML 9-2)
# 6 Midvale Magic (ML 12-1)

Scratch # 3 Telepathy (ML 3-1)

Danas Best (Aus) took the Place against more expensive stock last time out.  Nahem might be quick enough to steal this one on the front end.  The C's are everyone else, because the Morning Line Favorite seems to have difficulties finding the Winner's Circle of late, even when leaving the gate as the shortest price on the board.

RACE 6 - (F) Clm $12.5k N2X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 6 Sooner Time (ML 2-1)

B’s

# 2 Devil's Beauty (ML 5-2)

C's

None

Sooner Time goes first off the claim for Trainer Tim Bellasis, who tends to do well with such.  Note that while Sooner Time is running with a higher price tag on her head than she did last time out this is actually a class drop, as that prior contest was open (no conditions) while this is an N2X (non-winners of two other than....).  Devil's Beauty has taken the Show at this class level in each of her last two starts.

RACE 7 - Clm $40k - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 4 Guy Code (ML 7-2)

B’s

# 1 Letithappen (ML 3-1)

C's

# 5 Marino's Wild Cat (ML 4-1)
# 6 Yahoo Tahoe (ML 6-1)
# 7 Mr. Jay D (ML 9-2)

Guy Code ships in from downstate, and his work over this main track on May 11 suggests that the speed that he's been showing on the dirt should carry over to the synthetic surface.  Letithappen was victorious at this class level the last time that he competed over this main track.

Marino's Wild Cat win over the turf last time out could signal a return to the form that he was showing earlier this year.  Yahoo Tahoe and Mr. Jay D filled out the Exacta at this class level last time out.

RACE 8 - MSW - Five Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 6 The Perfect Square (ML 8-1)

B's

# 1 Ice Cream Fame (ML 7-2)
# 2 Pavelski (ML 1-1)
# 4 Lucky Patrick (ML 8-1)

C's

# 3 Thorny Weather (ML 5-1)

The Perfect Square is a first time starter for Trainer Cliff DeLima, who tends to do well with such.  Ice Cream Fame took the Place at this class level in his debut over the main track three starts back.

Pavelski took the Show charging down the Santa Anita hill at this class level two starts back.  The question with Pavelski is does he have enough speed for this, a true turf sprint.  Lucky Patrick could move up with the cutback in distance.  Thorny Weather could improve with the move to the lawn.

RACE 9 - Clm $4k N2L - Eight Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 3 Pacific Channel (ML 2-1)
# 5 Thermopylae (ML 9-5)

B’s

# 2 Papa Pagosa (ML 10-1)
# 4 William Crotty (ML 3-1)

C's

None

Pacific Channel took the Place at this class level last time out.  Thermopylae took the Show against classier stock two starts back, albeit for different connections.

Papa Pagosa graduated last time out; perhaps he's finally figured out what's going on out here.  William Crotty's early speed might be enough to carry him to the Winner's Circle today.

OK, that's the analysis.  While this is a jackpot wager, I won't be putting all my selections on one ticket.  While I still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of my life, budgetary constraints must be respected.  I think it's also safe to presume that my "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so I should be safe in pressing those up.  So with all that, playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:

All A Entries

$1.00 P6: 4 with 5 with 6 with 4 with 6 with 3,5 $2.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.20 P6: 1,4 with 1,5 with 2,6 with 1,4 with 1,2,4,6 with 2,3,4,5 $51.20

A's with One C

$0.20 P6: 4 with 2,4,6 with 6 with 4 with 6 with 3,5 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 4 with 5 with 6 with 5,6,7 with 6 with 3,5 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 4 with 5 with 6 with 4 with 3 with 3,5 $0.40

Total: $56.00

Post Time for Race 4 is 5:45 EDT / 2:45 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo

5/21/17 Golden Gate Fields Golden Pick 6 - Results

Race 4 - # 5 No Spin Zone (Final Odds 0.80*) - "A" Selection
Race 5 - # 1 Broken Up (1.00*) - "A" Selection
Race 6 - # 1 Algenon (5.20) - No Selection
Race 7 - # 3 Russian Radiance (GB) (3.00) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Valiant Flame (1.20*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 3 This Town (4.60) - "B" Selection

I certainly began the sequence well; and I ended well.  But the middle?  Not so well.  I completely whiffed on the third and fourth legs, having neither Winner nor Place horse on my big ticket for either of those two contests.

Oh well; onto the next race.

Meanwhile, those who had the correct Golden Pick Six sequence of  5 / 1 / 1 / 3 / 7 / 3  were rewarded with a payout of $543.06 for their twenty cent wager.  May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo

5/21/17 Golden Gate Fields Golden Pick 6 - Preview

So with the second leg of The Triple Crown having come and gone we shift our focus back to the west coast; specifically to northern California, as we take another run at The Golden Pick Six at The Bay's Best Bet.

RACE 4 - (F) Md $16k - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 5 No Spin Zone (Morning Line 7-5)

B's

# 2 Betdesilvergold (ML 5-2)
# 3 Unwanted (ML 7-2)
# 4 Heartwrecker (ML 8-1)

C's

None

No Spin Zone took the Place at this class level last time out, crossing under the wire about a length in front of Betdesilvergold.  Heartwrecker finished fourth in that contest; but as that was Heartwrecker's debut, it's quite conceivable that she will improve off that initial effort.  Unwanted showed good early speed in each of her last two contests, both against more expensive stock.

RACE 5 - Alw 12500s - Nine Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 1 Broken Up (ML 8-5)
# 5 Percy's Bluff (ML 1-1)

B’s

None

C's

None

Scratch # 2 Lucky Shoes to Win (ML 20-1)

Note for future reference that, unlike many Starter Allowances in California, this contest has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry.  So any runner that has starter for a claiming price of $12.5k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.

Percy's Bluff and Broken Up formed the Exacta at this class level last time out, with Percy's Bluff getting the top spot by a length.  In my opinion there's little to choose from between these two, and no serious challenger(s) to choose from in the rest of this field.

RACE 6 - OC 62.5k/N2X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 7 Mah Gellin (ML 7-2)

B’s

# 5 Seattle Serenade (ML 6-1)

C's

# 2 Pure Comedy (ML 8-1)

I'm giving Mah Gellin another chance here, after he disappointed as the Post Time Favorite (and my "A" Selection) last time out, finishing dead last.  In my opinion Mah Gellin is clearly the best horse in this field; and the solid workout that he had on May 13 suggests that whatever happened last time out, it wasn't injury related.

Seattle Serenade ships in from downstate for Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, and the work that he had over this main track earlier this month suggests that Seattle Serenade should handle the surface switch well.  Pure Comedy has consistently proven to be competitive at this class level.

RACE 7 - (F) ALW N1X - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf

A's

# 5 Hal's Buddy (ML 6-1)
# 6 Tequila Mary (ML 2-1)

B's

None

C's

# 1 Amber Louise (ML 8-1)
# 4 Brookys Star (ML 5-2)

Hal's Buddy has closed well in each of his last two starts over this turf course, including a Show finish at this class level back in January.  Tequila Mary won by daylight over this turf course in her return from vacation last time out.

Amber Louise took the Show at this class level behind a next out winner last time out.  Brookys Star is the likely pace setter here, and could steal this one on the front end.

RACE 8 - Clm $8k B - Five and a Half Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 7 Valiant Flame (ML 5-2)

B's

# 8 Boldly True (ML 7-2)

C's

# 1 Royal Alexei (ML 5-1)
# 2 Pete's Slew (ML 5-1)

This contest is restricted to runners which have either:

1) Not won a race since April 1, 2017; OR
2) Which have never won four races.

So as long as a horse has fewer than four career Wins, he's eligible to run in this race.  If a horse has four career Wins or more, than none of those Wins could have come in either this month or last (note that Claiming and Starter Races for $6.25k or less don't count when computing the Win totals).  For the record, # 3 Admiral Boom (ML 12-1) and # 8 Boldly True (ML 7-2) are the only two runners in this field with fewer than four career Wins.

Valiant Flame enters this contest with a three race winning streak for Trainer John Martin.  Boldly True is taking a huge step down on the class ladder.  Royal Alexei has finished in the Exacta at this class level in each of his last two races.  Pete's Slew was victorious at this class level back in March.

RACE 9 - Md $20k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 7 Onefortheteam (ML 1-1)

B's

# 1 Tuscan Warrior (ML 10-1)
# 3 This Town (ML 8-1)
# 5 The Ice Box Kid (ML 3-1)
# 6 Get Like Me (ML 10-1)

C's

# 2 Bobby Magic (ML 5-1)
# 4 Diablo Way (ML 20-1)

Onefortheteam took the Place at this class level last time out.  Tuscan Warrior, with Storm Cat as a grandsire, could improve with the move to the turf.  This Town ships in from downstate for Trainer Neil Drysdale, who tends to do well with such.  The Ice Box Kid and Get Like Me are two that could improve with the change in surface and distance.  Bobby Magic, like Onefortheteam, is trained by John Martin; the "other" John Martin, if you will.  Diablo Way is on my tickets because every other runner in this field is.

OK, that's the analysis.  While this is a jackpot wager, we won't be putting all our selections on one ticket.  While we still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of our lives, budgetary constraints must be respected.  I think it's also safe to presume that our "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so we should be safe in pressing those up.  So with all that, playing our tickets in Crist fashion, we get:

All A Entries

$1.00 P6: 5 with 1,5 with 7 with 5,6 with 7 with 7 $4.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.20 P6: 2,3,4,5 with 1,5 with 5,7 with 5,6 with 7,8 with 1,3,5,6,7 $64.00

A's with One C

$0.20 P6: 5 with 1,5 with 2 with 5,6 with 7 with 7 $0.80
$0.20 P6: 5 with 1,5 with 7 with 1,4 with 7 with 7 $0.80
$0.20 P6: 5 with 1,5 with 7 with 5,6 with 1,2 with 7 $1.60
$0.20 P6: 5 with 1,5 with 7 with 5,6 with 7 with 2,4 $1.60

Total: $72.80

Post Time for Race 4 is 5:44 EDT / 2:44 PDT.  Good luck to all.

5/20/17 Pimlico Rainbow Pick 6 - Preview

It's Preakness Stakes Day at Pimlico, the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown; and, really, what more do you need by way of intro?  So let's get to it, as we take another run at The Rainbow Pick Six at The Home of The Preakness.

RACE 8 - The James W Murphy $100k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 1 Mo Maverick (Morning Line 10-1)

B's

# 7 Bird's Eye View (ML 15-1)
# 8 Undulated (ML 15-1)
# 12 Cool Arrow (ML 12-1)

C's

# 4 Dover Cliffs (ML 5-2)
# 10 Adonis Creed (ML 8-1)
# 11 Cheyenne's Colonel (ML 20-1)
# 13 Chubby Star (ML 20-1)

Scratch # 9 Conquest Bandit (ML 20-1)

Mo Maverick has been victorious every time that he has stepped on the grass.  Bird's Eye View fits well at this class level.  Undulated, sired by Curlin, could move up with the stretch out in distance.  Cool Arrow's form should hold up with the move to the lawn.

Dover Cliffs, winner of the Cutler Bay last time out, misses by just a neck of being undefeated in his three race career.  Adonis Creed could work out a nice trip pressing the pace.  Cheyenne's Colonel has looked good in both his turf starts.  Chubby Star fits well at this level, though he may miss having Jose Ortiz on his back.

RACE 9 - The Maryland Sprint (Grade 3) - Six Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 4 A. P. Indian (ML 8-5)
# 5 Whitmore (ML 9-5)

B's

None

C's

# 1 Laki (ML 12-1)
# 2 Classy Class (ML 10-1)

God bless you if you are able to choose between A. P. Indian and Whitmore, because I sure couldn't.  Laki and Classy Class are the backups because I think that one or the other might freak on the off track.

RACE 10 - (F) The Gallorette (Grade 3) - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 6 On Leave (ML 2-1)

B's

# 7 Elysea's World (Ire) (ML 5-2)

C's

# 3 Danilovna (Ire) (ML 6-1)

Scratch # 5 Gone Away (ML 15-1)

EDIT: Scratch # 2 Zipessa (ML 9-2)

On Leave should improve with the step down the class ladder.  Elysea's World (Ire) has proven competitive at the Graded Stakes level, though her failure to capture a stakes win in North America is a bit of a concern.

Danilovna (Ire) did well in the soft going last time out while winning the Dahlia.

RACE 11 - The Sir Barton $100k - Eight and a Half Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 2 Hedge Fund (ML 9-5)

B's

# 1 Honor the Fleet (ML 5-1)

C's

# 7 True Timber (ML 8-1)

Scratch # 8 Liar's Dice (ML 15-1)

Hedge Fund missed winning the Illinois Derby by just a head last time out, and should move up with the cut back in distance.  Honor the Fleet is the local hero who could get a nice stalking trip.  True Timber has not done well of late trying to run with the pace setters; but if Jockey Joel Rosario can get him to settle back early, True Timber could be the one passing the leaders late.

RACE 12 - The Dixie (Grade 2) - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 10 Ring Weekend (ML 4-1)

B's

# 1 Security Risk (ML 12-1)
# 4 Projected (GB) (ML 3-1)
# 7 Blacktype (ML 4-1)
# 9 Conquest Typhoon (ML 15-1)

C's

# 2 World Approval (ML 7-2)
# 8 Catapult (ML 10-1)

Ring Weekend missed winning this event last year by just a neck, and looks to be in a good position to take it today.  Security Risk could have things all his own way early.  Projected (GB) defeated a couple of next out winners last time out, and looks to be in top form for this contest.

Blacktype lost all chance at the start last time out, and should improve over that effort.  Conquest Typhoon looks ready to move up in class.  World Approval could contend here if he can return to the form that he showed last Spring and Summer.  Catapult could get the jump on the leaders before the deep closers can get rolling.

RACE 13 - The Preakness (Grade 1) - Nine and a Half Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 1 Multiplier (ML 30-1)
# 4 Always Dreaming (ML 4-5)
# 5 Classic Empire (ML 3-1)

B's

None

C's

# 3 Hence (ML 20-1)
# 6 Gunnevera (ML 15-1)
# 10 Conquest Mo Money (ML 15-1)

Multiplier, winner of the Illinois Derby last time out, has been showing steady improvement in each of his career starts.  Always Dreaming had a lot of things go his way while winning the Kentucky Derby; but Always Dreaming looks to be tough to beat here even without considering that Derby victory.  Classic Empire got checked into the boards hard in the Derby early, and then had more trouble late, but was still game in that effort; expect him to do much better today.

Hence can contend here if he can return to the form that won the Sunland Derby; but it's beginning to look like that may have Hence's career race.  Gunnevera's new rider, Jockey Mike Smith, may be able to keep him out of traffic; if so, Gunnevera could be the one running best late.  Conquest Mo Money has done little wrong in his career, and skipping the Derby may give him enough energy to get to the wire before Classic Empire today.

OK, that's the analysis; and, since I'm rushing this a bit, hopefully there aren't too many typos.  While this is a jackpot wager, I won't be putting all my selections on one ticket.  While I still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of my life, budgetary constraints must be respected.  I think it's also safe to presume that my "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so I should be safe in pressing those up.  So with all that, playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:

All A Entries

$1.00 P6: 1 with 4,5 with 6 with 2 with 10 with 1,4,5 $6.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.20 P6: 1,7,8,12 with 4,5 with 6,7 with 1,2 with 1,4,7,9,10 with 1,4,5 $96.00

A's with One C

$0.20 P6: 4,10,11,13 with 4,5 with 6 with 2 with 10 with 1,4,5 $4.80
$0.20 P6: 1 with 1,2 with 6 with 2 with 10 with 1,4,5 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4,5 with 3 with 2 with 10 with 1,4,5 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4,5 with 6 with 7 with 10 with 1,4,5 $1.20
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4,5 with 6 with 2 with 2,8 with 1,4,5 $2.40
$0.20 P6: 1 with 4,5 with 6 with 2 with 10 with 3,6,10 $1.20

Total: $114.00

Post Time for Race 8 is 2:47 EDT / 11:47 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,

5/19/17 Pimlico Rainbow Pick 6 - Preview

It's Black-Eyed Susan Day in Baltimore, the opening stanza of a weekend at Pimlico that will culminate with the running of the second leg of The Triple Crown.  As befits such an event, each day's card is chock full of quality stakes, as well a fantastic menu of wagering options.  So with that let's get to it, as we take a run at The Rainbow Pick Six at The Home of The Preakness.

RACE 6 - (F) OC 25k/N2X - Eight and a Half Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 7 Family Meeting (Morning Line 5-2)

B’s

# 1 Gone Away (ML 7-2)

C's

# 6 Outsider Art (ML 5-1)
# 10 Sokie (ML 20-1)
# 12 Armoire (ML 6-1)

Scratch # 9 Good Roll (ML 30-1) and # 11 Bawlmer Hon (ML 30-1)

Family Meeting defeated classier competition last time out.  Gone Away took the Show at this approximate class level last time out, and could improve going second off the layoff for Trainer Michael Matz.

Outsider Art has proven to be competitive at this class level, despite not having her picture taken in over a year.  Sokie could be uncontested on the front end early, though she may need a race after the long layoff.  Armoire could improve off the freshening after having failed in her last two starts as the Post Time Favorite.

RACE 7 - The Pimlico Special (Grade 3) - Nine and a Half Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 6 Shaman Ghost (ML 4-5)

B's

# 1 Dolphus (ML 8-1)
# 3 Watershed (ML 6-1)

C's

None

Scratch last year's winner of this event, # 5 Noble Bird (ML 8-1)

Shaman Ghost, winner of the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap last time out, is by far classiest here, and I may later regret not making him a single on the big ticket.  But Watershed, winner of Grade 3 Ben Ali last time out, seems to be rounding into top form for Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin; while Dolphus, stablemate of Shaman Ghost for Trainer Jimmy Jerkens, could prove to be tough to run down late.  So three deep it is for this leg.

RACE 8 - (F) The Hilltop $100k - Eight Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 3 Victory to Victory (ML 5-2)

B's

# 1 Dance Queen (ML 8-1)
# 5 Compelled (ML 3-1)

C's

None

Scratch # 2 Romantic Music (ML 15-1); # 7 Corporate Queen (ML 20-1); # 8 Follow No One (ML 20-1); # 10 Chubby Star (ML 12-1); 11 Sweeping Paddy (ML 12-1); # 13 Mercy Ann (ML 15-1)

Victory to Victory, winner of the Grade 1 Natalma up at Woodbine last September, looked sharp in her 2017 debut last time out at Keeneland, and could be ready to pick up where she left off.  Dance Queen could be the quickest in this field, especially with all the defections; while Compelled could be the one running best late.

RACE 9 - (F) The Miss Preakness (Grade 3) - Six Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 5 Our Majesty (ML 7-2)

B's

# 7 Bode's Dream (ML 12-1)

C's

# 1 R Angel Katelyn (ML 10-1)
# 6 Vertical Oak (ML 10-1)

Scratch # 15 Shacklefords Lady (ML 20-1) off the Also Eligible List

Our Majesty, undefeated in her three race career, has been showing steady improvement in each of her efforts.  Bode's Dream, trained by Todd Pletcher, gets some much needed class relief here.  R Angel Katelyn has been victorious in four of her last five starts, all against stakes level competition.  Vertical Oak made a nice move forward last time out, though that move could have been strongly aided by the surface conditions.

RACE 10 - The Jim McKay Turf Sprint $100k - Five Furlongs Turf

A’s

# 4 Pay Any Price (ML 3-1)

B's

# 10 Richard's Boy (ML 4-1)
# 15 Tale of E Dubai (ML 15-1)

C's

# 2 Amelia's Wide Ride (ML 6-1)
# 7 Grand Candy (ML 8-1)

Scratch # 14 Platinum Prince (ML 12-1) and # 14 Cyclogenisis (ML 20-1)

Pay Any Price misses by just a length of entering this contest with a four race winning streak.  Richard's Boy, trained by Peter Miller, seems to do better when he doesn't have to negotiate the Santa Anita Hill.  Tale of E Dubai carried his form well in his turf debut last time out.

Amelia's Wide Ride fits well here on class, though the extended layoff is a concern.  Grand Candy should move up with the move back to the lawn.

RACE 11 - (F) The Black-Eyed Susan (Grade 2) - Nine Furlongs Dirt

A’s

# 1 Shimmering Aspen (ML 9-2)
# 5 Lights of Medina (ML 8-1)

B's

# 2 Tapa Tapa Tapa (ML 8-1)
# 7 Moana (ML 4-1)

C's

# 4 Full House (ML 12-1)
# 9 Summer Luck (ML 5-1)
# 11 Yorkiepoo Princess (ML 10-1)

Shimmering Aspen tries routing for the first time; but as a daughter of Mailibu Moon, the added real estate should not be a problem.  Lights of Medina and Moana, both trained by Todd Pletcher, have both looked strong in their respective two turn races.  Tapa Tapa Tapa could improve going third off the layoff.

Full House took the Show in the Grade 2 Gazelle last time out.  Summer Luck may get a nice late run at the early leaders.  Yorkiepoo Princess should get a much better trip today than she did last time out.

OK, that's the analysis.  While this is a jackpot wager, I won't be putting all my selections on one ticket.  While I still hold out hope that this could be the luckiest day of my life, budgetary constraints must be respected.  I think it's also safe to presume that my "A" Selections won't form the basis of a unique ticket, so I should be safe in pressing those up.  So with all that, playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:

All A Entries

$1.00 P6: 7 with 6 with 3 with 5 with 4 with 1,5 $2.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.20 P6: 1,7 with 1,3,6 with 1,3,5 with 5,7 with 4,10,15 with 1,2,5,7 $86.40

$0.20 P6: 7 with 6 with 3 with 5 with 4 with 4,9,11 $0.60

Total: $91.80

Post Time for Race 6 is 2:06 EDT / 11:06 PDT.  Good luck to all.

5/14/17 Golden Gate Fields Late Pick Four - Results

Race 6 - # 1 Undeniable U (Final Odds 1.80*) - "B" Selection
Race 7 - The Alcatraz - # 2 Grecian Fire (4.50) - "B" Selection
Race 8 - # 4 Eccentric Spinster (1.50*) = "B" Selection
Race 9 - # 3 Shoshoni Storm (2.50*) - "B" Selection

I wasn't able to get any of my "A" Selections home today; but, then, I didn't have to.  The one non-Post Time Favorite winner found his way onto the big ticket, and the play had all the runners that made sense.  A pretty formful day, and I didn't make any egregious mistakes that would have prevented me from cashing.

For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other three runners to which I would have cashed in the finale:

# 2 Satin Ruler (6.10) - $236.60 Finish: 4th
# 4 Lookin’ for Fame (13.20) - $287.50 Finish: 5th
# 6 If Ur Not Early (3.20) - $112.60 Finish: 3rd

But that's what might have been.  What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of  1 / 2 / 4 / 3  which paid $110.70 for a fifty cent wager.  That makes for a profit of $39.70 on the initial $71 investment, or approximate odds of 0.56-1.  On a day in which I didn't connect with any of my top picks, profiting anyway is something with which I have no problem.  And as my close personal friend Sully likes to say, no one ever went broke cashing tickets.

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
