Del Mar tweaks pick six for Breeders' Cup weekend
Del Mar will offer a jackpot pick six for most of its autumn meeting, but will offer a standard pick six during Breeders’ Cup weekend.
The meeting opens with a five-day racing week on Wednesday, Nov. 1. On Wednesday and Thursday, the pick six will pay out 15 percent of the net pool in the event of a single winning ticket. If no one hits the pick six or there is more than one winning ticket, that 15 percent will carry over to Thursday. If the jackpot is not paid out that Thursday, it will carry over to Friday, Nov. 10 – the first day of racing after Breeders’ Cup weekend.

For the two days of Breeders’ Cup (Friday, Nov. 3 and Saturday, Nov. 4 ) and Sunday, Nov. 5, Del Mar will offer a standard pick six, with 85 percent of the net pool paid to tickets with six winners, or carried over to the next day if no one has a winning ticket. There will be a mandatory payout of the pick six on that Sunday.
Del Mar used the jackpot format for its pick six at its autumn 2016 meeting and its summer meeting this year.
