A Question concerning Belmont ROI

[JolyB]

In the Gold Cup, the second leg of the sequence, #3 Amade came from off of the pace (they went the first mile in 1:43.66, so I use the term pace loosely) to outkick #6 Arklow for the win. Neither Cal nor I had him on our tickets, so all of that effort is in the shredder. That's one of the reasons that I don't invest $$ in pick 6 sequences, except perhaps on mandatory payout days.

Cal, sorry it didn't work out for you either. I appreciate your gameness in putting up a ticket with me. It provided a very interesting comparison. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that the winner was the last horse that you decided to exclude from your sequence. That was certainly my case.

I thought that things were going to go well when Do Share was a late scratch in the True North, and then Catalina Cruiser won as the PTF, so I had two live wagers going, not just one. But that didn't last very long.

Onward.

I probably will miss other legs of the thing too, but I think that 2nd leg was the one that I had the least confidence in. Can be fun to play, but so hard to hit a pick 6, I hardly ever play one for real.
