Kudos to Sam Houston's Racing Secretary for arranging the races to create an all stakes Pick 4 at the end of the card. And equal praise to SHRP for having only a 12% takeout on this multi race wager, giving players a little more of a chance to get paid if they are fortunate enough to hit it. Having said that, I have to take a shot; I only hope in my desire to "have it", I haven't spread too broad a net to negate any return - I often do that in multi race exotics and am still learning.

Race 6: $.50 Pick 4:

1,2,3,7 // 1,2,3,7 // 1,2,4 // 2,6,9,10 ($96)

Good luck to all and thank you to Real Quiet for scoring.

JB - interesting we must be on the same wave length today. I was also thinking of the Pick 4 but I'll have my horses and you have yours. Good luck!!! As many say here in Texas "I'm fixin to put a winning pick 4 together".

It has been said that great minds think alike.

There is enough commonality between our pick-4's that we could both hit it. Of course, if that happened, you would win since you have it for a buck and mine is only half a buck.

I guess I'm trying to thread the needle, hoping for a small amount of chaos to bring a quasi-outsider to the winner's circle in one or two of the races and push the price up a little bit, without having total chaos in the results, which would knock me out completely.

In any event, good luck with your picks.

The right amount of "controlled" chaos is always welcome.

We'll take it. Unless you win.
