Mandatory Payout Saturday In Del Mar’s Pick 6; $1,874,996 In Jackpot

In Del Mar racetrack's Rainbow Pick Single Ticket Jackpot wager, for the 18th straight time a single bettor couldn't tab all six winners on his or her own meaning there will be yet another carryover into Saturday's TVG Pacific Classic Day card where a “mandatory” payout awaits at the seaside track north of San Diego, Calif.

Friday's carryover amount of $1,874,996 will be in the pool to start the day Saturday and it and all the “new” money that comes in on the bet will go out to those who have the most winners, guaranteed.

Some projections put the likely “new” money amount in the $6-million to $10-million range. If so, it will virtually ensure that the track will best its non-Breeders' Cup single-day betting record of $25,870,431 set on August 18, 2018, a TVG Pacific Classic Day.

Racing for the big TVG Pacific Classic Day card begins at 2 p.m. Saturday. Eleven races will be on tap with the Pick Six wager beginning on Race 6, which is scheduled to go off at approximately 4:30 p.m.

Edgeway, Bravo Team Up For Rancho Bernardo Score At Del Mar

Hronis Racing's Edgeway, the even-money favorite in a short field of four fillies and mares, went about her business in fine fashion Friday afternoon and came away a one-length winner in the 50th edition of the Grade 3, $100,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

The 4-year-old daughter of Competitive Edge covered 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:16.80 under Joe Bravo and won her race in easier fashion than the margin would indicate. She also gave her trainer, John Sadler, his sixth victory in this distaff sprint going back to a fine filly named Track Gal the conditioner saddled to win the race in 1995, '96 and '97.

Finishing second in the Rancho Bernardo was Gem Inc and Kagele's Proud Emma, while pulling in third was Don Alberto Stable's Stellar Sound.

Edgeway was winning her fifth race in her eighth start and the winner's share of $60,000 pushed her earnings so far to $379,200. With show wagering cancelled due to the short field, Edgeway returned $4.00 and $2.60, while Proud Emma paid $4.60.

In the track's Rainbow Pick 6 Single Ticket Jackpot wager, for the 18th straight time a single bettor couldn't tab all six winners on his or her own meaning there will be yet another carryover into Saturday's TVG Pacific Classic Day card where a “mandatory” payout awaits. Friday's carryover amount of $1,874,996 will be in the pool to start the day tomorrow and it and all the “new” money that comes in on the bet will go out to those who have the most winners, guaranteed.

Some projections put the likely “new” money amount in the $6- to $10-million range. If so, it will virtually ensure that the track will best its non-Breeders' Cup single-day betting record of $25,870,431 set on August 18, 2018, a TVG Pacific Classic Day.

Racing for the big TVG Pacific Classic Day card begins at 2 p.m. Saturday. Eleven races will be on tap with the Pick 6 wager beginning on Race 6, which is scheduled to go off at approximately 4:30 p.m.

JOE BRAVO (Edgeway, winner) – “She was feeling real positive from the break right on through. I was in the catbird seat pretty much all the way. At the three-eighths (pole) I just cut her loose and she got real brave then. She's a nice filly and good horses make my job easier. It'll be interesting to see what John (trainer Sadler) does with her next.”

JOHN SADLER (Edgeway, winner) – “This has been such a good race for me and it is fun to win it again; it has been a few years in between wins. This is a good filly, she has a great record. The only bad race was her last one and Gamine (who left Edgeway 11 ¼ lengths behind in the Great Lady M at Los Alamitos) is the best in the country. She came back from it today, so I'm very happy.”

FRACTIONS:  :22.31  :44.94  1:10.05  1:16.80

The stakes win was the third of the meet for rider Bravo, but his first in the Rancho Bernardo. He now has five stakes wins at Del Mar.

The stakes win was the first of the meet for trainer Sadler, but sixth in the Rancho Bernardo. He now has 79 stakes wins at Del Mar, second most of all trainers.

The winning owners, Hronis Racing, are Kosta and Pete Hronis of Delano, Calif.

Gulfstream Park: Big Fields Abound, Rainbow 6 Has $400,000 Guaranteed Jackpot

The $75,000 Proud Man will headline Saturday's 12-race program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where the mile turf stakes for 2-year-olds will also be the highlight of a challenging 20-cent Rainbow 6 six-race sequence.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $400,000. The popular multi-race wager's sequence will span Races 7-12 on a program that will feature full fields (136 entries) and six turf races.

The Proud Man drew a field of 10 lightly raced juveniles, including a pair of main-track-only entrants), with no obvious 'single.'  C My Meister, who won his turf debut while making his third career start for trainer Kelsey Danner, is the 3-1 morning-line favorite, followed by Jena Antonucci-trained Winging It, a son of Into Mischief who was valiant in defeat in his recent off-the-turf debut, at 4-1. Rory Miller-trained Fulton Street, a son of First Dude rated at 5-1, could well be a sleeper looking to his recent maiden score in his turf debut. Third-place finisher Into Touring came right back to break his maiden at Del Mar for trainer Mark Casse.

The first six races on Saturday's card figure to be just as challenging as the last six races, offering four races with full fields of 12 and three turf races for early Pick 5 and Pick 4 bettors.

Leon McKanas-trained T Ville, a son of Vancouver who was nominated to the Proud Man after finishing a troubled third in his recent debut, will seek to graduate in Race 3, a maiden special weight race at a mile on turf that also attracted Juan Alvarado-trained Globes, whose dam Pink Poppy was a multiple stakes winner over Gulfstream's turf course. Sons of Maclean's Music, Bernardini and Nyquist (two) are scheduled to make their respective debuts in the race.

Mark Casse-trained Rufa Red Knot, who finished third in her career debut in the Florida Sire Stakes Desert Vixen, is expected to receive a lot of attention from handicappers in Race 6, a seven-furlong maiden special weight race for Florida-bred juvenile fillies. The daughter of Noble Bird broke last from her rail post position and rushed up to set the pace before tiring late in the six-furlong Desert Vixen.

Saturday's first-race post time is set for 12:20 p.m.

Four-Day Race Week Begins Thursday Sept. 9
Gulfstream Park will go to a four-day race week beginning Thursday, Sept. 9.

Gulfstream went to a three-day week June 7 when work started on the construction of a Tapeta surface on the outer section of its turf course. The Tapeta course is expected to be completed in September.

Gulfstream's schedule the weekend of Aug. 27-29 will include the second leg of the FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes featuring the $200,000 Affirmed and $200,000 Susan's Girl.
