Another crazy day at the Downs yesterday during Derby Week. No favorites hit the wire in the final four races of the day for the second straight day.
Unsure of scratches and such yesterday, I outlined quite a few horses who might have a shot. As it turns out, 22 of my suggestion horses ran in the four races.
For the second straight day, I fell short of hitting the late Pick 4 -- a Pick 4 that paid $7178 on the .50 cent wager!
I had three winners, three seconds and four thirds. A 45% "in the money" percentage. I filled 10 of the 12 possible payout spots, for a 83% rate.
Wednesday's card had a $14.40 payout to win in Race Seven and I had that in Ain't No Elmers.
In Race Eight, the payout was $21.60 to win and that's the race I didn't have a winner.
Race 9 saw Ambassador Luna get the "W", I had him and the payout was $17.00 on a $2 win wager.
In the final, Race 10, Prioritizer finished first, I had him recommended, and he returned $23.40 to win.
