Del Mar Race 4 – BCBC Race 8
Monica viewed and self-judged, and all 3 of us agreed #3 Goonie Goo Goo’s photosite was the best match.
#4 Nicole’s X S won – Monica judged it a 1, and Tom a 3, tied for 3rd.
So this one was just a miss, no big deal.
Del Mar Race 5 – NHC Race 8/BCBC Race 9
TW Fendley ARVed this race.
TW, Tom and Marty all agreed that the photosite associated with #12 Three Pointer was the best match.
#12 ran out, as #4 Self Defense won. Tom gave its photosite a 2 and TW a zero.
However, TW also ARVed a separate session for this race, for her own ticket – and she hit the place horse, #8 Bell Zone, a 20-1 shot who paid a juicy $19.40 to place!
#8 was not the official Contest Winning Outcome, since #4 paid more to win and place($23.60), but was still a nice increase in her contest total.
Del Mar Race 6 – NHC Race 9/BCBC Race 10
Tom ARVed for this race, and he and Marty agreed #7 Rosey De Megeve’s photosite was the best match.
However, Marty had to leaver early, and since his login needed a couple of longshots still to hope to qualify, he decided to bet #5 Spring Style, whose morning line was 20-1, as opposed to #7 at 10-1.
At post time the two horses’ odds were actually the reverse – #7 was 23-1 while #5 was 11-1 – but it made no difference, because both ran out, while #10 Lilly Fa Pootz won the race. Tom had given it a 3, tied for 3rd, in his judging.
TW Fendley’s horse on her ticket #9 also ran out.
This ended the BCBC contest; Tom and Marty both finished well out of contention for the 30 qualifying spots, Marty in 173rd and Tom in 227th of 300 people.
