DEL MAR, Calif. - There are two carryovers in the pick six at Del Mar on Saturday – $73,502 in the main pool and $15,750 in the single ticket jackpot pool.

The single ticket portion is paid only where there is one winning ticket.

The pick six was difficult from the start on Friday, with only one winning favorite through the sequence.

The winners of Friday’s pick six races were Tiger Mom ($16.80), Spanish Hombre ($10), Unobtainable ($6.40), Anonymity ($21), Majestic Heat ($3.40), and Lymebyrd ($41.80). Majestic Heat was the lone winning favorite.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – The fireworks come at the end of this loaded 12-race Arlington Million card, but I’ll be getting involved much earlier in the day with a strong opinion in race 2. The pick there is WESTERN ELEGANCE (#2), who might be second choice, but figures a distant second choice with Good Bye Greg taking a lot of play. GBG is an admirable horse, but very unsound and liable to regress at any time. He does not need the lead but he needs to be close, and there is other real speed in the race.

Race 6:
Have At It (#9)
Is bred to handle this surface as a son of Kitten’s Joy out of a turf stakes-winning dam.
Christophe Clement gets a 97 Trainer Rating pairing with jockey Tyler Gaffalione.
DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past five years, Christophe Clement is 7 for 18 (39 percent, $5.65 ROI) with 2-year-old first-time starters on turf at Saratoga.

We are back from the Saratoga yearling sale where we were jammed for time last week to file our column, but now we’re ready to rejoin the fray. Sixteen BreezeFigs maidens won last week—10 2-year-olds and six 3-year-olds, and six of those wins came at Saratoga, so pay attention.

The key to Saturday’s gimmick at Saratoga may be how you feel about the Grade 1 Fourstardave and whether Time Test, a bigshot in Europe before coming to the U.S. this year for trainer Chad Brown, can live up to those press notices after two decent but not overwhelming starts stateside. Firmer turf and Saturday’s shorter trip may mean the answer is ‘yes.’ Of course, there are four other tough heats.

DEL MAR, Calif. - A narrow victory by California Chrome's full sister, R Sunday Surprise, in the final race on Thursday at Del Mar resulted in a single-ticket jackpot payoff in the pick six of $190,433.80.

The ticket was purchased in Las Vegas, according to Del Mar's publicity department.

Race 3:
Kristofferson (#3)
Was chasing a pace that collapsed in his turf debut last time.
Should prove to be a turf horse since his dam is a half-sister to three Group 1 winners on grass.
Miguel Vera gets a 97 Trainer Rating with horses making their second start for his barn after a trainer switch.
