Town.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Hot Springs, Ark.<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>opener<\/strong> went to the aptly named&nbsp;<strong>#2 January Jubilee<\/strong> (.200 Win Prob \/ 4.00-1 Fair Odds \/ 5.00-1 Premium Odds) at&nbsp;<strong>$17.60<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Albany, Calif.<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>opener<\/strong> went to&nbsp;<strong>#5 My Dad Is Thirsty<\/strong> (.197 \/ 4.08 \/ 6.11) at&nbsp;<strong>$20.20<\/strong>; completing your winning&nbsp;<strong>$226-even exacta<\/strong> was&nbsp;<strong>#1 Dark Mystery&nbsp;<\/strong>(.246 \/ 3.07 \/ 3.88), with the premium price on that comboa (comboa!) being $59.63. In the&nbsp;<strong>finale<\/strong>, lousy with firsters,&nbsp;<strong>#4 Book Em Tamo<\/strong> (.590 \/ 0.69 \/ 1.03) nabbed the victory at&nbsp;<strong>$13-even<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At&nbsp;<strong>Sunland Park, N.M.<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>#6 Rocky Bar Six<\/strong> (.150 \/ 5.67 \/ 8.33) took&nbsp;<strong>Race 8<\/strong> at&nbsp;<strong>$18.60<\/strong>, which was 6\u00a2 shy of the premium price of $18.66; however, we cannot judge you harshly if you decided to sacrifice those half-dozen centavos upon the Altar of the God of Doing Business Via the Parimutuels \u2014 you got, after all, that same 8-1 you were after!
