ARCADIA, Calif. - A string of five consecutive losing favorites at Santa Anita on Sunday has led to a pick six carryover of $101,931 for Monday’s nine-race program.

The pick six carryover was confirmed after Sunday’s eighth race, with one leg of the bet remaining.

Monday’s pick six races include several large fields, and the 2013 debut of Beholder, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2012. Beholder will be a heavy favorite to win the seventh race, the $150,000 Santa Ynez Stakes for 3-year-old fillies over 6 1/2 furlongs.

ARCADIA, Calif .- More Chocolate was an eager filly in the first turn of Sunday’s $150,250 La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita. Her aggressive behavior led jockey Garrett Gomez to change his race strategy, and resulted in More Chocolate winning her main track debut in the Grade 2 race for 4-year-old fillies.

Always near the front after the first quarter-mile, More Chocolate ($12.60) took the lead at the end of the backstretch and pulled away through the final furlong to win her first stakes.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark.- American Sugar closed with authority to win the third stakes race of her career in the $60,000 Dixie Belle for 3-year-old fillies Sunday at Oaklawn Park. She won by seven lengths over Little Miss Fitz, while it was another 2 1/4 lengths back in third to 4-5 favorite Lady Stonewall.

The Dixie Belle shared a card with the $60,000 American Beauty won by Cheery ($3.80).

Apparently, combining to win six races on one card wasn’t good enough for the Ortiz brothers.

So on Sunday, jockeys Jose and Irad did themselves one better.

 The Ortiz brothers combined to win seven races - the first seven - on Sunday’s nine-race card at Aqueduct. Jose won the first three and Irad won the next four - capped by a front-running victory in the $75,000 Turnofthecentury Stakes. Irad went 4 for 5 while Jose went 3 for 7.

On Saturday, Irad and Jose Ortiz won three races each with Jose being denied a fourth by a nose in the nightcap.

My Miss Aurelia, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2011, worked a half-mile in 50.20 seconds on Sunday at Santa Anita, her first workout since a third-place finish in the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes here on Dec. 26.

That loss may have cost My Miss Aurelia the title of champion 3-year-old filly of 2012. When Eclipse Award votes were announced on Saturday, Questing beat My Miss Aurelia by four first-place votes, 106-102.

The Steve Asmussen-trained Great Mills, fourth in the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, nearly lowered the Santa Anita track record for about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course with a win in Sunday’s second race, a third-level optional $80,000 claimer.

Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, Great Mills ($3.60) led throughout and won by a length over Irish Art in 1:11.16. The 2008 course record of 1:11.10 was set by California Flag, who won the BC Turf Sprint in 2009.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A Jealous Woman is expected to start in the $150,000 Buena Vista Stakes over a mile on turf on Feb. 18 after her first win in an open stakes in Saturday’s $92,500 Megahertz Stakes at Santa Anita.

A Jealous Woman won her second stakes in her last three starts in the one-mile Megahertz. She won the restricted Swingtime Stakes here in October before finishing a game second to Rhythm of Light in the Grade2 Goldikova Stakes on Nov. 4.

For the first time, someone with direct ties to Charles Town was honored with an Eclipse Award when jockey Jose Montano was named the outstanding apprentice for 2012 at Saturday night’s awards dinner at Gulfstream Park.

Montano, 26, easily beat out New York-based rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. and Angel Suarez, who rides primarily at Parx Racing and Penn National, to win the award. Three years ago, Charles Town-based Luis Batista was nominated as the nation’s top apprentice, but finished third behind Luis Saez and winner Christian Santiago Reyes.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.- Trainer Kathy Ritvo said Mucho Macho Man seemed none the worse for wear on Sunday morning after being eased by jockey Mike Smith the previous afternoon as the odd- on favorite in the Sunshine Millions Classic.

Smith said immediately after the race that Mucho Macho Man kept putting his head higher and higher while racing around the second turn and guaranteed something was wrong inside. But Ritvo and stable manager Finn Green said they could find nothing wrong with Mucho Macho Man once going over their horse back at the barn after the race.

Coyote Legend wired the field in the $100,000 Star of Texas Stales at Sam Houston Race Park on Saturday night to win his first start since earning 2012 Texas-bred horse of the year honors. The race was one of four Texas-bred stakes on the card, and Coyote Legend’s trainer, Bret Calhoun, and his jockey, Cliff Berry, won three of the races.
