Litfin: Pick four play at Saratoga for Saturday, Aug. 22
We’ll take our weekly crack at the late pick four at Saratoga with a $500,000 guaranteed pool.
8th race: The racing office did us a favor by carding this firster-filled baby race as the opening leg, which affords a look at the betting and pre-race appearances. That doesn’t do us much good for purposes of this exercise, however, so on the blind we shall go with PATRICK’S DAY (1), FOREVAMO (3), PORTFOLIO MANAGER (5), GIFT BOX (8), and SHEIKH OF SHEIKHS (10).
9th race: Covering MARKET OUTLOOK (1), SMOOTH DADDY (2), TOP BILLING (5), FILM MAKING (7), and TAGHLEEB (9) will hopefully get us through.
10th race: Based on their best efforts, the Alabama winner should come from somewhere among CURALINA (2), LOVELY MARIA (3), I’M A CHATTERBOX (4), and INCLUDE BETTY (6).
11th race: This looks like IL MULINO (4) going to the front, and the rest trying to catch her. We’re betting they can’t.
The ticket: 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 with 1, 2, 5, 7, 9 with 2, 3, 4, 6 with 4 = 100 combinations = $50 @ 50 cents each.
