Santa Anita: Pick six carryover of $419,541 for Thursday
ARCADIA, Calif. – There is a two-day pick six carryover of $419,541 on Thursday at Santa Anita.
The absence of a winning favorite in the first five races of Monday’s pick six, and wins by longshots such as Texas Ryano ($51.80) and Wonderful Lie ($36.40), clinched the carryover. With two days without racing before Thursday, the pool of new money may exceed $2 million.
Thursday’s pick six covers the third through eighth races on an eight-race program that begins at 1 p.m. Pacific.
The sequence begins with two sprints – a $50,000 claimer on the hillside turf course and a maiden claimer over 5 1/2 furlongs – and has four one-mile races to conclude the program.
The mile races are a maiden race for California-breds on turf, an $8,000 claimer on dirt, an optional claimer for California-breds on turf, and a maiden claimer on dirt.
The fields are not large, with 7, 8, 10, 9, 8, and 9 horses entered in the pick six races.
