9/3: Saratoga (Day 37); Del Mar ($488k C/O)
Perfect storm of events led to enormous exotics Thursday in the second division of the Riskaverse, and many DTers/ATR listeners scored out. Public's crazed wagering on Lisa's Booby Trap made the bet-against (at any price) an even money favorite at post time, while P6 single and clear standout Queen of the Creek hovered at 4-1. When the Tom Proctor trainee easily wired the field in near record time, she triggered bonus mutuels with the three tabs of 34-1 Ultimate Class (4th choice Exotics Add), 25-1 Kittylicious (3rd choice Next Best) and 15-1 Doe Run (2nd choice Best Value).
The exacta returned $105; trifecta $1,193; superfecta $5,397, and set off a happy celebration amongst many participating patrons in the backyard by Carolina Barbecue. I only had a tri key in what seemed like too tough a spot to fish for supers, but it was one of the best hits of meet and neatly bookended the opening day/opening race bingo of $953. The modest $106 P4 was hit as well, using a $48 play that didn't need to go further than each of the top selections in the quad sequence. Hope you did well!
Twilight action at Saratoga today (2:30pm ET) and a $488k P6 carry at Del Mar starting with the 3rd (7:30pm)!
