Double-digit upset leads to $26,165 carryover in pick 6 on Saturday card

A surprise win by Five O Cocktail in Friday’s ninth race has led to a carryover of $26,165 in Saturday’s $2 pick six at Santa Anita.

In Friday’s ninth race, Issa Court was the only runner covered in the pick six. Five O Cocktail ($26) closed from off the pace to reach the front in the final sixteenth.

The pick six on Saturday covers the fourth through ninth races.

Before scratches, the pick six races have maximum fields of 6, 8, 7, 9, 8, and 11.

The pick six races are the $85,000 Tokyo City Stakes at a mile, a $50,000 claimer for maiden California-bred fillies and mares at a mile on turf, a maiden race for statebred 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs, the $100,000 Senator Ken Maddy Stakes for fillies and mares at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course, an allowance race at six furlongs, and a maiden race for 2-year-old fillies at 6 1/2 furlongs on the turf oval.

The pool of new money is likely to surpass $150,000.

In addition to the pick six, there is a carryover of $18,088 in the $1 place pick all, which required the selection of a top two finisher in the final eight races on the program.
