Golden Pick 6 jackpot carryover at $1.33 million
The Golden Pick 6 at Golden Gate Fields is now only one day away from a mandatory payout after there wasn’t a unique winning ticket again Friday.
The jackpot-style 20-cent wager returned $1,349.94 to multiple tickets that had all six winners Friday. That means there will be $1,331,966.72 to start the pool Saturday. The pool pays out only when a single ticket picks all six winners.
Golden Gate Fields is hoping for a mega carryover for Sunday, when there is a mandatory payout for the pool. Saturday’s six races average 10.33 runners.
Two years ago at Gulfstream Park, there were similar dreams, but on the day before the closing-day mandatory payout, a single bettor hit all six winners when Callana ($12.80) won a three-way photo in the final race over Russian Night, who went off at 4.9-1, and Starship Sassy, an 11.9-1 choice.
Had the second- or third-place finisher won, there would have been a carryover to the final day. Instead, Dan Borislow, who purchased a $7,603.20 ticket that included every horse in five of the six races, including the last, and two in the other race, cashed for a record $6,678,939.12.
