The Daily Racing Blog frequently references multi-race wagers (Pick 3, 4 and 5), and while it is second nature to us, we realize that it may not be with every person that reads this blog.

That said, we are going to give our readers a practical application for a Pick 4 on the Saturday card at Woodbine.

We chose Woodbine because the minimum wager for a Pick 4 there is .20 cents. So you can dip a toe into the wonderful world of multi-race wagering without going bankrupt.

Remember, in order to Win a Pick 4 you must correctly pick the Winner of four consecutive races, think of it as a horse racing parlay.

But you can choose as many horses as you like in each leg of the series, depending on your budget- as more horses cost more money

The early Pick 4 at Woodbine on Saturday begins with race number four.

Here then, we give you our top three picks in order of preference, with a fourth choice as well, in case any of the first three scratch.

4th Race: #6 BEDAZZLE ME [ML 3-1], #5 QUEEN GYPSY [ML 5-1], #7 HITS DIFFERENT [ML [ML 5-2], #2 FOXY DIVA [ML 6-1].

5th Race: #1 ROYAL RIBBON [ML 6-5], #7 DESTIN NIGHT [ML 3-1], #4 PRIMA [ML 10-1], #6 MRS. HOT SHOT [ML 8-1].

6th Race: #1 RED ENSIGN [ML 4-1], #2 KATHERINE’S GEM [ML 12-1], #5 IM A SUPERMAN [ML 10-1], #7 CRAFTY OAKS [ML 5-2].

7th Race: #2 MRS GREEN [ML 5-2], #1 A GAME [ML 3-1], #7 BREATHING FIRE [ML 10-1], #5 TRADING BAY [ML 15-1].

Assuming there are no scratches we will use our first three choices in each race for the Pick 4 wager.

So the Pick 4 ticket, beginning in the 4th at Woodbine should read: 6-5-7 w 1-7-4 w 1-2-5 w 2-1-7, lest any scratches, then replace the scratched horse with our fourth choice.

The cost of this particular ticket will be; 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81 x .20 = $16.20. Not a lot of outlay for a chance at Pick 4 glory.

Best of luck no matter how you play it.
