Good morning on this Memorial Day, 2017. I would like to begin by thanking the men and women in uniform for their service. I would also like to thank those who served our country in past wars. We must not forget those who gave their lives so this country can remain free.
Well, it’s the last day of a five-day stretch. As I look back, I’m 12 wins out of 37 races during those four days; that’s about a 33% win percentage.
Let’s look back at yesterday’s card.
Race One: “Double-A,” Angel Arroyo, continues on a roll as he won the opener (two wins on the day) aboard :3: Set The Trappe. I thought the :2: could do it, but he finished third. If you boxed my first three selections in an exacta, it paid $17.60 for $2. A $12 investment would have netted you: $5.60. The :3:-:1:-:2: Tri paid $30.60.
Race Two: I picked the winner: :1: Sophia's Choice. She paid $4.30. :7: was one of my other three selections. A $2 exacta paid: $21.40. The tri paid: $92.50. The :2: was another one of my alternate choices.
Race Three:
I picked the winner: :9: Bustin It. He paid $3.10. Although I didn't pick the place horse, the :3:; I did mention him as looking good on the track. The :6:, Sol The Freud, was one of my "others". He paid $8.80 on the end; he also completed a $141 tri.
Race Four:
My top pick, the :5:, Consumerconfidence, finished second. Yet, if you boxed my choices, you would have hit the exacta, tri, and super. The exacta paid: $21.60; the tri: $163; and the dime-super: $22.40.
Race Five:
My top pick was :6: Duquesne Whistle; he finished third. The winner, :4:, Cause For Surprise, was one of my others. If you had boxed my four horses in a tri, it paid: $53.
Race Six: I picked :6:, Whiskey Seven; he finished off the board. However, if you had boxed my four horses in that race, you would have hit the exacta for: $20.
Race Seven: My second choice, :6:, Closing Bell, won it.
Race Eight: My top pick, the :6:, was scratched. My next three selections all hit the board. If you had boxed them, the exacta paid: $22.80; the tri paid: $41.80.
Race Nine: My choice: :6:, Astounding, won. I had the :6:-:8: exacta, cold. It paid. $24.80. I also picked the late .50 Pick-4. It paid $129 (see yesterday's postings for the exact 4-race ticket).
I'll be back later with my selections for today's Belmont card.
