Sunday’s pick six paid $30,017 on a day when favorites won the last four races.

The pool began with a carryover of $239,519 from Friday. Bettors added $1,236,851 on Sunday. The pick-six pool was carried from Friday to Sunday because Saturday’s card featured $1 Luck pick six, featuring stakes races at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita.

The winners of Sunday’s pick-six races at Santa Anita were Via Verde ($8), Zombyslayermrdarcy ($32), Mega Heart ($6.60), Zackn’mat ($7.20), Unzip Me ($3.40), and Russian Bayou ($6.20).

ARCADIA, Calif. – Apprentice jockey Eswan Flores won the first three races on Sunday’s program at Santa Anita, moving closer to a key milestone in his first year of riding Thoroughbreds.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Unzip Me held off a late threat from Teroda to win the 10th stakes of her career in Sunday’s $86,600 Wishing Well Stakes at Santa Anita, a victory that trainer Marty Jones credited to jockey Rafael Bejarano.

“Raf did a good job getting her to settle and that was the difference,” Jones said. “If she’d been caught in a speed duel, they might have caught her.”

Trainer John Sadler has been fined $1,500 for two instances in which horses that he started at Hollywood Park in a two-day period in late November tested positive for the muscle relaxant Methocarbamol.

The positives were found in post-race tests taken from Doubledown On Ten, who finished fifth in the fourth race on Nov. 25, a maiden special weight for sprinters; and Stoney Fleece, the winner of the $100,000 Generous Stakes for 2-year-old males over a mile on turf on Nov. 27.

The 2010 stakes winner Clubhouse Ride will return from a layoff of nearly 13 months in Saturday’s $200,000 Strub Stakes, a situation that trainer Craig Lewis admits is less than ideal.

“My options are somewhat limited with him,” he said. “It’s pretty demanding to go a mile and an eighth after his workouts.”

ARCADIA, Calif.- Willa B Awesome may have earned a start in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes on March 3 with her front-running win in Saturday’s $100,000 Santa Ysabel Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

Willa Be Awesome won the Grade 3 Santa Ysabel over 1 1/16 miles by 3 1/2 lengths, earning her first graded stakes win. The victory left trainer Walther Solis thinking that Willa Be Awesome fits in the $250,000 Las Virgenes Stakes over a mile.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - The way Broadway’s Alibi worked one week prior to Sunday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Forward Gal Stakes, trainer Todd Pletcher was expecting a good performance from his 3-year-old filly in the sprint stakes.

He wasn’t expecting she would win by almost 17 lengths.

Taking the lead soon after the start under John Velazquez, Broadway’s Alibi splashed her way to a 16 3/4-length victory over Say a Novena in the Forward Gal run in the slop at Gulfstream Park.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Eclipse Award winner Hansen may have been the center of attention, but it was Algorithms who stole the show in Sunday’s $400,000 Holy Bull at Gulfstream Park, cruising to an easy five-length victory over the reigning 2-year-old champion in the first major local prep on the Kentucky Derby trail.               

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -   Add another horse, El Padrino, to trainer Todd Pletcher’s steadily growing list of Kentucky Derby prospects.

El Padrino may have actually moved to the top of that list following his extremely impressive two-length victory over Take Charge Indy on a good and sealed racetrack Sunday at Gulfstream Park. The entry-level allowance race was the first start for El Padrino since his third- place finish in the Grade 2 Remsen two months earlier.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - It was a typically busy Sunday morning for trainer Todd Pletcher, who worked 28 horses at Palm Meadows, including Donn Handicap contender Mission Impazible and promising 3-year-olds Ecabroni, Spring Hill Farm, and Thunder Moccasin.

Mission Impazible, working in company with the 3-year-old Big Blue Nation, went five furlongs in 1:02.38, getting the last quarter in 24.16 seconds. He galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.95 and pulled up seven furlongs in 1:28.96.
