Congrats!!
Mike,

Thanks a lot! Very true about the optimal turnout. It's funny when you compare how the CRC and AQU 4's paid. In NY, the 9 was paying $2,130, but instead the favored 4 wins and you get $309. At Calder, even with the odds-on Fawkes (Duke) in the anchor leg, it would have returned $963 thanks to getting Joannie's Catch into the sequence at 10-1+. But the Mott produces the bonus payoff of nearly $1,700.

I'm going to write a blurb about this today with the tabs because it really was a case study kind of day in P4's. Churchill too... The Borel-Pitts upsetter made the sequence pay well with chalk ($2,470/.50). But if the logical Zermatt gets by in that 8th, the quad comes back meagerly (parlay = $130/$2).
