Race 8 - The Pacific Classic - # 2 Collected (Final Odds 3.00) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - # 10 Edwards Going Left (1.70*) - "B" Selection
Race 10 - The Del Mar Oaks - # 10 Dream Dancing (6.60) - No Selection
Race 11 - # 6 Powder (3.30) - "C" Selection
The Del Mar Oaks saw one of my two "B" Selections in that contest, # 12 Beau Recall (Ire) (5.40) lose the head bob at the wire; but winning that photo would have only set me up for the disappointment of having all the winners on my tickets without having them all on any one ticket. So it was a "close, but no cigar" day; which is just another way of saying that it was a day to contribute instead of collect.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 2 / 10 / 10 / 6 were rewarded with a payout of $304.05 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo

8/19/17 Del Mar Pick Four - Preview
It's Pacific Classic Day at Del Mar Saturday, the biggest day of the Summer meet; and the card does not disappoint, teeming as it is with quality stakes, including the aforementioned Pacific Classic, as well as the Del Mar Oaks. I'll be looking at both of those contests below, as I take another run at The Pick Four at The Place Where The Turf Meets The Surf.
RACE 8 - The Pacific Classic (Grade 1) - Ten Furlongs Dirt
A's
# 2 Collected (Morning Line 5-2)
# 3 Accelerate (ML 3-1)
# 8 Arrogate (ML 1-1)
B's
None
C's
# 6 Donworth (ML 15-1)
# 7 Curlin Road (ML 20-1)
So what happened to Arrogate last time out in the Grade 2 San Diego? Beats me. Can it happen again Saturday? Maybe. How's that for insightful analysis! Obviously, if Arrogate's trainer Bob Baffert doesn't know what went wrong with his horse, than no one knows. What I do know is that Arrogate is the classiest runner in this field, and there's no way I'm going to lose a Pick Four because I didn't cover the most obvious Favorite on the card.
Collected, the "other" Baffert, is undefeated in his 2017 campaign thus far, and seems to be getting better with each effort. Accelerate has now finished in front of Arrogate twice in his career. Donworth and Curlin Road are both trained by Doug O'Neill; and if anyone can upset this apple cart, I would expect it to be an O'Neill trained runner.
RACE 9 - OC 40k/N1X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 3 Street Vision (ML 6-1)
B’s
# 2 Nardo (ML 15-1)
# 6 Tell Me a Story (ML 15-1)
# 8 Americanize (ML 3-1)
# 10 Edwards Going Left (ML 5-2)
C's
# 4 The Rule of King's (ML 20-1)
Street Vision has looked much improved over his last two starts; so while he has failed multiple times at this class level in the past, Street Vision may at last be ready to take that class step forward. Nardo has previously won at this level, and could improve off the freshening. Tell Me a Story could improve with the turn back in distance.
Americanize took the Place at this class level last time out. Edwards Going Left is making the move from state bred stakes company; I'd call that a lateral move, in which case Edwards Going Left fits well here with the contenders. The Rule of King's graduated by daylight last time out; the question Saturday is will his speed hold with the class jump.
RACE 10 - (F) The Del Mar Oaks (Grade 1) - Nine Furlongs Turf
A's
# 2 Madam Dancealot (Ire) (ML 9-2)
B's
# 5 Con Te Partiro (ML 7-2)
# 12 Beau Recall (Ire) (ML 6-1)
C's
# 1 Kenda (ML 20-1)
# 11 Pacific Wind (ML 12-1)
# 13 Tapped (ML 8-1)
Scratch # 4 Pistol Packin Rose (ML 30-1) and # 14 Bernina Star (ML 30-1)
Madam Dancealot (Ire) won the Grade 2 San Clemente over this turf course last time out by daylight, and seems to have the breeding to handle the increased real estate. Con Te Partiro returns from overseas after taking the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last time out; a repeat of that effort could get the job done today.
Beau Recall (Ire) is multi-times Graded Stakes placed, and could improve with a return to the West Coast. Kenda was through early last time out; perhaps she'll have an easier time of it in the early going today. Pacific Wind and Tapped are two that could move up with the increase in real estate.
RACE 11 - (F) [S] MSW - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 2 Halley Rachele (ML 6-1)
# 8 Laynee (ML 3-1)
B's
None
C's
# 4 Jabber Now (ML 8-1)
# 5 Warm It Up (ML 12-1)
# 6 Powder (ML 5-1)
Scratch # 1 Meet and Greet (ML 7-2)
Halley Rachele has twice missed graduation by less than a length at this class level in her three career starts. Laynee took the Place in front of Halley Rachele last time out.
Jabber Now adds blinkers while changing surfaces; perhaps she'll improve with the adjustments. Warm It Up took the Place at this class level last time out at Los Al. Powder may improve with the freshening.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 2,3,8 with 3 with 2 with 2,8 $6.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 2,3,8 with 2,3,6,8,10 with 2,5,12 with 2,8 $45.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 6,7 with 3 with 2 with 2,8 $2.00
$0.50 P4: 2,3,8 with 4 with 2 with 2,8 $3.00
$0.50 P4: 2,3,8 with 3 with 1,11,13 with 2,8 $9.00
$0.50 P4: 2,3,8 with 3 with 2 with 4,5,6 $4.50
Total: $69.50
Post Time for Race 5 is 8:45 EDT / 5:45 PDT. Good luck to all.

8/17/17 Del Mar Pick Four - Results
Race 5 - # 4 Silverspun Pickup (Final Odds 4.30) - No Selection
Race 6 - # 7 Jennyway U Want It (8.50) - "C" Selection
Race 7 - # 7 Cuddle Alert (14.10) - No Selection
Race 8 - # 9 Go Ghetto (4.40) - "B" Selection
Thursday wasn't a complete shut-out; and hopefully this run over the Del Mar track will put me in good shape for Saturday's play. But first round knockouts are never any fun; and you're not going to have many winning multi-race wagers where you fail to get any "A" Selections home.
Oh well; onto the next race.
Meanwhile, those who had the correct Pick Four sequence of 4 / 7 / 7 / 9 were rewarded with a payout of $4,924.75 for their fifty cent wager. May God bless them as they spend their winnings.

8/17/17 Del Mar Pick Four - Preview
As I mentioned last weekend, good Lord willing I'll be playing the Pacific Classic card at Del Mar on Saturday. That being the plan, it seemed wise to get one in over the track, if you will, prior to that day. So, with that as added incentive to go along with the usual motivation of having some fun, let's get to it, as I take a run at The Pick Four at The Place Where The Turf Meets The Surf.
RACE 5 - (F) [S] MSW - Five and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Callie Mesa (Morning Line 20-1)
# 7 Super Patriot (ML 3-1)
# 9 Star of Kobol (ML 6-1)
B's
# 3 Sweet Sophie Grace (ML 7-2)
# 8 My Claw (ML 9-2)
C's
None
Scratch # 5 It's About Alex (ML 8-1)
These are juvenile fillies; and, with the exception of My Claw, all are first time starters. Since experience should count for something, My Claw is on the ticket.
Callie Mesa, Super Patriot, and Star of Kobol are trained by conditioners (Tim Yakteen. Bob Baffert, and Bob Hess, Jr., respectively) whose runners tend to do well at first asking. Sweet Sophie Grace was sired by Curlin, whose progeny tend to do well when debuting.
RACE 6 - (F) [S] ALW N1X - Eight Furlongs Turf
A's
# 4 Sea Smoke (ML 5-2)
# 6 Lethal Legacy (ML 6-1)
B's
None
C's
# 2 Moonshine Annie (ML 3-1)
# 7 Jennyway U Want It (ML 10-1)
Scratch # 3 Easy Song (ML 5-1)
Sea Smoke, Lethal Legacy, and Moonshine Annie filled out the bottom seventy-five percent of the Superfecta at this class level over this turf course last time out. Jennyway U Want It could be the one running best late.
RACE 7 - OC $62.5k/N2X - Six and a Half Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Avicii (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 2 Noted and Quoted (ML 9-5)
C's
# 3 Auntjenn (ML 6-1)
# 5 Fact of Life (ML 6-1)
Scratch # 8 Dis Smart Cat (ML 8-1)
Avicii was victorious at this class level three starts back, and finished in the Trifecta at this class level in each of her two most recent contests. Noted and Quoted gets some class relief while returning to one turn racing. Auntjenn could move up with the return to the main track. Fact of Life, trained by Bob Baffert, moves up in class after defeating OC $40k/N1X company by daylight last time out.
RACE 8 - Md $20k - Eight Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Harrovian (ML 4-1)
B's
# 1 Marq One (ML 5-2)
# 2 Big Day Tomorrow (ML 10-1)
# 8 Sumday Sumday (ML 6-1)
# 9 Go Ghetto (ML 9-2)
# 11 Rick's Dream (ML 6-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 10 Alpha Uno (ML 30-1). Bring in # 11 Rick's Dream (ML 6-1) off the Also Eligible List; but not # 12 Second Gear (ML 20-1), who gets to stay in the barn.
Harrovian gets some class relief here, and seems well suited to the distance. Marq One took the Show against more expensive stock last time out, albeit on the turf. Big Day Tomorrow could move up with the class drop.
Sumday Sumday missed graduation by less than a length at this class level last time out. Go Ghetto could move up with the drop in class and the surface switch. Rick's Dream has finished in the Trifecta at this class level in each of his five career starts.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 6,7,9 with 4,6 with 6 with 6 $6.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 3,6,7,8,9 with 4,6 with 2,6 with 1,2,6,8,9,11 $60.00

$0.50 P4: 6,7,9 with 4,6 with 3,5 with 6 $6.00
Total: $75.00

8/13/17 Santa Rosa Late Pick Four - Results
Race 7 - # 7 Private Marini (Final Odds 1.60*) - "A" Selection
Race 8 - # 7 Matter of Luck (0.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 9 - The Jess Jackson Juvenile - # 6 Artie B Good (0.70*) - "A" Selection
Race 10 - # 2 Fiery Lady (1.80*) - "A" Selection
Sunday's Late Pick Four was pretty much the epitome of a chalk fest, as the public had it right in each of the final four contests on the Santa Rosa card. Fortunately for me, Sunday also proved to be a fine example of why it's a good idea to press your top selections.
For the record, here are the $0.50 Will Pays for the other three runners to which I would have cashed in the finale:
# 3 Dreamy Gal (8.20) - $55.70 Finish: 4th
# 4 The Incident (14.50) - $119.55 Finish: 7th
# 6 Beautiful Becca (3.10) - $30.45 Finish: 5th
But that's what might have been. What actually came to be was a correct Late Pick Four sequence of 7 / 7 / 6 / 2 which paid $20.80 for a fifty cent wager. Since I had it three times, I collect $62.40. That makes for a profit of $21.40 on the initial $41 investment, or approximate odds of 0.52-1; which, while not as profitable as if I had just put it all on my big ticket single, Matter of Luck, to Win, is still profit; and is therefore greatly appreciated.
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

8/13/17 Santa Rosa Late Pick Four - Preview
Two year olds highlight Sunday's card at The Sonoma County Fair at Santa Rosa, with the $50k Jess Jackson Juvenile serving as the featured race. I'll be looking at that contest below, but before I do I want to look ahead just a bit to next weekend. Saturday, September 19 is Pacific Classic Day at Del Mar; so, good Lord willing, I'll be focusing my efforts next weekend on the southern California racetrack. So with that let's return back to today's action, as I take another run at Wine Country Racing's Late Pick Four at Santa Rosa.
RACE 7 - Clm $12.5k N2X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Weyand (Morning Line 3-1)
# 7 Private Marini (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 1 Tough Timber (ML 4-1)
# 3 Brave Julian (ML 20-1)
# 4 Tribal Again (ML 9-2)
# 8 Nevadan (ML 12-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 2 Wise Tale (ML 8-1) and # 5 Monsajem Accrete (ML 8-1)
Weyand took the Place at this class level last time out, and will be going second off the claim for Trainer Rene Asescua, who tends to do well with such. Private Marini could be the speed of the speed in this field, and will be going first off the claim for Trainer Jonathan Wong, who has frequent success with such.
Tough Timber missed the Winner's Circle by less than a length at this class level last time out. Brave Julian ships in from downstate; perhaps he'll appreciate the change of scenery. Tribal Again could be the one running best late. Nevadan is on the ticket because everyone else is.
RACE 8 - (F) Alw 4000s - Five Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 7 Matter of Luck (ML 5-2)
B’s
None
C's
# 2 Foreverinsummer (ML 7-2)
# 6 Shez a Griller (ML 8-1)
# 9 Croix Du Soleil (ML 3-1)
Scratch # 8 Panshir (ML 10-1)
Note for future reference that, unlike many Starter Allowances run in California, this event has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry. So any filly or mare that has started for a claiming price of $4k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.
Matter of Luck took the Place at this class level in front of a next out winner last time out. Foreverinsummer fits well here on class; but Foreverinsummer may be better suited to longer distances.
Shez a Griller closed well sprinting on the turf course just ten days ago. Croix Du Soleil goes first off the claim for Trainer John Martin, who tends to do well with such.
RACE 9 - The Jess Jackson Juvenile $50k - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Artie B Good (ML 5-2)
B's
# 1 Walk On Water (ML 6-1)
# 4 Holy Yodeler (ML 10-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 3 Jacks Masterpiece (ML 2-1)
Artie B Good won by daylight in his debut last time out, and looks to be at least on par with many of those running here. Walk On Water and Holy Yodeler are two that can contend, if they can rebound off their respective performance in the Everett Nevin and return to the form they displayed when graduating.
RACE 10 - (F) OC 25k/N1X - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 2 Fiery Lady (ML 3-1)
B’s
# 3 Dreamy Gal (Ire) (ML 9-2)
# 4 The Incident (ML 12-1)
# 6 Hal's Buddy (ML 6-1)
C's
None
Fiery Lady was victorious at this approximate class level last time over the Golden Gate turf course. Dreamy Gal (Ire) could improve with the return to grass, and should certainly be forwardly placed early.
The Incident's only prior grass experience was navigating the Santa Anita hill; perhaps she'll prefer the flats. Hal's Buddy fits well here on class, though her time away from the Winner's Circle is a concern.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:

$1.00 P4: 6,7 with 7 with 6 with 2 $2.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: ALL with 7 with 1,4,6 with 2,3,4,6 $36.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 6,7 with 2,6,9 with 6 with 2 $3.00
Total: $41.00
Post Time for Race 7 is 7:18 EDT / 4:18 PDT. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,

RACE 7 - Clm $12.5k N2X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Weyand (Morning Line 3-1)
# 7 Private Marini (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 1 Tough Timber (ML 4-1)
# 3 Brave Julian (ML 20-1)
# 4 Tribal Again (ML 9-2)
# 8 Nevadan (ML 12-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 2 Wise Tale (ML 8-1) and # 5 Monsajem Accrete (ML 8-1)
Weyand took the Place at this class level last time out, and will be going second off the claim for Trainer Rene Asescua, who tends to do well with such. Private Marini could be the speed of the speed in this field, and will be going first off the claim for Trainer Jonathan Wong, who has frequent success with such.
Tough Timber missed the Winner's Circle by less than a length at this class level last time out. Brave Julian ships in from downstate; perhaps he'll appreciate the change of scenery. Tribal Again could be the one running best late. Nevadan is on the ticket because everyone else is.
RACE 8 - (F) Alw 4000s - Five Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 7 Matter of Luck (ML 5-2)
B’s
None
C's
# 2 Foreverinsummer (ML 7-2)
# 6 Shez a Griller (ML 8-1)
# 9 Croix Du Soleil (ML 3-1)
Scratch # 8 Panshir (ML 10-1)
Note for future reference that, unlike many Starter Allowances run in California, this event has no lifetime Win restrictions for entry. So any filly or mare that has started for a claiming price of $4k or less, either this year or last, is eligible to run here.
Matter of Luck took the Place at this class level in front of a next out winner last time out. Foreverinsummer fits well here on class; but Foreverinsummer may be better suited to longer distances.
Shez a Griller closed well sprinting on the turf course just ten days ago. Croix Du Soleil goes first off the claim for Trainer John Martin, who tends to do well with such.
RACE 9 - The Jess Jackson Juvenile $50k - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 6 Artie B Good (ML 5-2)
B's
# 1 Walk On Water (ML 6-1)
# 4 Holy Yodeler (ML 10-1)
C's
None
Scratch # 3 Jacks Masterpiece (ML 2-1)
Artie B Good won by daylight in his debut last time out, and looks to be at least on par with many of those running here. Walk On Water and Holy Yodeler are two that can contend, if they can rebound off their respective performance in the Everett Nevin and return to the form they displayed when graduating.
RACE 10 - (F) OC 25k/N1X - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 2 Fiery Lady (ML 3-1)
B’s
# 3 Dreamy Gal (Ire) (ML 9-2)
# 4 The Incident (ML 12-1)
# 6 Hal's Buddy (ML 6-1)
C's
None
Fiery Lady was victorious at this approximate class level last time over the Golden Gate turf course. Dreamy Gal (Ire) could improve with the return to grass, and should certainly be forwardly placed early.
The Incident's only prior grass experience was navigating the Santa Anita hill; perhaps she'll prefer the flats. Hal's Buddy fits well here on class, though her time away from the Winner's Circle is a concern.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing my tickets in Crist fashion, I get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 6,7 with 7 with 6 with 2 $2.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: ALL with 7 with 1,4,6 with 2,3,4,6 $36.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 6,7 with 2,6,9 with 6 with 2 $3.00
Total: $41.00
