AMERICAN TURF CLUB SELECTIONS: DAY 5

June 12, 2021

The unprofitable days carry on with a weather cancellation, horses getting caught in the final yards, and a massive long shot winner from last month finishing first again - but at odds far shorter than what he enjoyed previously.

For the purposes of this report all horses selected in ATC were wagered in the following way:

$2 to win / $2 to place
A $1 exacta box was played when more than one selected horse was in a race
"X" denotes a losing horse
SCR denotes a scratched horse
* denotes a "Four Star Selection" - bet double the normal amount ($4 win/$4 place)

Here's how the rest of ATC selections did for Friday, June 11, 2021:

Pimlico

1 - 6 Family Fortune X
2 - 8 Awesome Jazz SCR / 9 Guns Blazing $13

6 - 1 Broker's Reward
7 - 1 Dance and Dance / 5 Boogie With Me

Race 1 saw #6 Family Fortune go unclaimed at a $5000 asking price and finish 4th.   #8 Awesome Jazz was scratched in the 2nd but things turned for the better when #9 Guns Blazing brought back $13 with the win/place victory. The weather turned for the worse, and with it expected to stay that way throughout the afternoon/evening the rest of the races were canceled. The cancellation led to a Rainbow 6 jackpot carry-over of $974,564.10, a state record for Maryland.
