Default Music Note = A $4,000 Loss

I did not use Music Note and it cost me - big. Like almost $4,000 big.

Here was my Pick 4 play today.
1,2,8 / 3,4 / 2,3,8 / 4,6
A,A,B / B,A / A,A,A / A,A

Make matters worse, I gave Music Note an A and did not use. I felt Tar Heel Mom had the better chance, even though I ranked this horse a B. I felt this way based on what I had seen from previous races. As well as Tar Heel Moms’ effort in the slop at Saratoga in August of last year in an OC 75k. So I use 2 B’s, one gets home in the first leg and throws this Pick 4 into some big money.

I have spent the last couple of hours literally beating myself up. I budgeted $40 for my Pick 4 play and did not want to go over, so I decided at the last minute to drop Music Note and use Tar Heel Mom.

It cost me a score, a damn big score. Man this hurts.

Based on my budget I thought I played the ticket well, but now thinking back I wonder if I could have played it different. Any suggestions?

Could have been by far my biggest score ever. This one is gonna sting for many, many moons.
