$180 bucks is a lot to invest on a pick 4 ticket. Especially with the parade of chalk that has been coming in there. You have to pick your spots to play such a big ticket there. Even the last race where there is usually a huge field of cheap claimers, today seemed to look very formful on that whole sequence including the finale. You also got hurt when the favorite scratched in the 7th. Everyone ended up with the post time favorite who won going away.
If you are going to throw big numbers at the pick 4 eventually you will hit a big one, but unfortunately you will also have results like the one you had today.
