Wild day at Big A yields carryover; Nice Delta night
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Wild day at Aqueduct Friday with a once a year type P4 payoff delivering $112k to one $2 ticket or $56k to two $1 plays. The sequence, which I foreshadowed as having potential for being lucrative, featured 2 $30+ horses in Sonny’s the One and Executive Search and one $40+ winner in Devilishameye.
My ticket certainly had the right idea when I suggested singling 8th race winner Summer Share ($7.80) to be able to spread as much as possible elsewhere. It wasn’t enough though. ‘Devilish’ was included, but Executive Search, my fourth choice Exotics Use, was left off as was Sonny’s the One, something of a lucky winner in the 6th. Sonny’s the One ran by everyone in an incident filled skein starter that included Mr. Bourbon Street tossing Mike Luzzi at the start and changing the complexion of the event. In addition to the loose horse, Davey Cohen on Man in Grey made Javy Castellano look like a bug boy keeping him and Cherokee Focus completely pinned on the rail.
While I’m not sure the Paulino Ortiz-trained winner wouldn’t have come out on top anyway, this particular outcome needed a bunch of things to happen to be produced. But the P4 still would have been enormous and a carryover produced no matter who took the 6th. The bottom line though is that the P4, and even the doubles and P3’s inside the late action, demonstrate that multi-race wagering is irresistible for producing highly returns with high impact.
The $515 7th race trifecta was the best of the Big A calls, and later in Louisiana, there was nothing but cashed tickets on the soggy Delta Downs card. Four modest tris ($56, $57, $92, $77), 2 OK supers ($112, $260) and the $283 P4 (4-1 return on $72 play) were available in the selections. Hope you did well… Heard from a couple ATR callers that scored, as well ‘tigerfan’ at Derby Trail who caught the $500+ 7th race tri and $1,646 late P3!
