As part of Fantasy Owners Day at Laurel Park on Saturday, the close to 300 registrants were matched up for the afternoon with a horse in one of the six overnight races on the card. The fantasy owners will get to spend time with the horse's connections and visit the paddock and winner's circle.
But at the morning seminar, Sal Sinatra, president of the Maryland Jockey Club, made a surprise announcement that Fantasy Owners Day would not just be a one-day affair and will instead last for all of 2017.
ARCADIA, Calif. -- The pick-six single-ticket jackpot carryover swelled to $274,301.16 following Thursday's races at Santa Anita after five tickets isolated all six winners, those tickets each receiving $17,695.20.
There were 148 tickets with five wins, those worth $128.40 apiece.
There was $255,341 in the single-ticket jackpot entering Thursday's card, and that likely fueled a better-than-average Thursday handle of $165,616 in fresh money.
The single-ticket jackpot has not been hit for 12 racing days, since Feb. 20.
When American Anthem goes to the post in the Grade 2, $900,000 Rebel Stakes on Saturday at Oaklawn Park, he’ll do so as the best chance for trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Mike Smith to win this year’s Kentucky Derby now that the unbeaten Mastery has been removed from the picture following his injury in the San Felipe Stakes last Saturday.
The top 3-year-old colt Mastery, who suffered a condylar fracture to his left front leg on Saturday at Santa Anita, underwent surgery on Monday afternoon at Santa Anita that "went very well," his trainer, Bob Baffert, said early Monday evening.
Mastery returned to his stall in Baffert's barn at Santa Anita following the surgery.
John R. Mulholland, the co-founder of Mulholland Springs Farm in Lexington, Ky., and the owner of runners including Grade 1 winner Malibu Mint, died Thursday. He was 74.

Friday’s pick six began with a carryover of $124,640 from Thursday. Bettors added $88,821 to the pick-six pool on Friday.
