Going into Thursday’s final race, only one horse was covered in the pick six – the 5-1 shot Outta Splash. He finished third behind the 60-1 shot Big Man in Town, who led throughout the maiden claimer over a mile.

Big Man in Town gave trainer Ruben Gomez his first winner of 2012 with his 61st starter. The 5-year-old horse had failed to finish in the first four in his first seven starts. He made his first start around two turns on Thursday.

There are early scratches in the first four races on Friday.

In the second race, the first leg of the pick six, Royal Capote is out. In the third race, run over five furlongs on turf, Iron Joe T, Blue Jay Attack and Vaundell will not run. In the fourth, She’s a Go Girl, Pursuitofparadise and Princesa Corredora are out. In the fifth, Lady Rochelle and Zees Chris are scratched.

The feature race is the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes for 3-year-olds over a mile, the sixth race. It’s a competitive race, featuring Fed Biz (the 2-1 morning-line favorite) against Unusual Heatwave and Jimmy Creed, who are both 5-2 on the morning line.

The program ends with a competitive one-mile maiden race on turf. Hometown Hero (3-1) and Money Talker (7-2) are the top contenders from the inside two posts. The race has a drawn a field of 14, but will be limited to 10 starters.

The late scratches will be announced on Friday morning.

There is also a two-day carryover in the $1 super high five of $86,029, which will be held on Friday’s seventh race.

yesterday for example like several others recently that had 50% (3 maiden races) comprised of P-6 races .....Thursday maiden payouts -$10.40,$38.80,$126 something then maiden Wed.payouts - $8.40,$96.00,$83.80....again 50% of P-6 races were maidens. Maiden races usually have 10-12 enteries....you have to spread but to cash P-6 winner or consolation you MUST win all 3 maiden races or at least 2 out 3 maiden races to have at least a shot to cash something. The majority fan playing Del Mar is betting a P-6 ticket UNDER $100.....he/she ihas little mathematical chance.How much do you spend on P-6 ticket? How's your luck been?

well friend i just started back playing this year at anita after taking 3 yrs. off due to poor health. but the last 3 years i played prior to that i had singers for 2.1 mil, 1.7 mil., and 2.3 mill. consisting of mostly p6's and p4's, with a smattering of supers and tris. if i dont think a pick six can pay at least 10k, i dont play it. id rather miss everyone of them that has 5 horse fields of nw2x 12,500 clms. and cheap small field stakes races. those 12 horse fields are what give you value when you can eliminate 2/3 of the field by process of elimination and still catch 12-1 or higher contenders because the common public are following the blinking light like a dog follows an ambulance. truthfully, this entire year i have probably played less then 10 p6 tickets and i have hit 2. one on the luck p6 in jan. that paid 13k and another laterin march that payed close to 20k. yes i play more then 100 dollar tickets, usually ranging between say 288 up to say 1200. but that is the way to play the bet. truthfully, the small time player has no bussiness playing the wager to begin with. when you start cutting horses to fit your bankroll, that is when you are doomed. the first rule of betting is make out a ticket that you think will win. then if you cant afford to play that much....... dont play anything!if your a small time player, stick to p4s, and p3s. your the ones who feed the pot for the big players to make the big scores. because if all you ever play are small tickets in easy races with small fields, even if you hit it, your still never going to make a score.

oh and btw, its real easy to adjust numbers however you like to fit your needs for that situation. your using a very limited pool from which to draw your conclusions here. so two days in a row a few big prices hit and suddenly its a pattern? come see me with your pattern after 3 yrs of tabulating the numbers, not 2 days.
