There will be a mandatory payout in Santa Anita's 20 cent Rainbow Pick Six Jackpot, with the likelihood of a $3 million-plus pool on Runhappy Santa Anita Derby Day, this Saturday.
Entries will be taken for Saturday on Wednesday and track officials project Saturday's total Jackpot pool will easily exceed $3 million.
The 86th running of the Grade 1, $750,000 Runhappy Santa Anita Derby, to be contested at a mile and one eighth, has produced the winners of 20 Kentucky Derbies, dating back to longshot Gallahadion in 1940.
In addition to the Santa Anita Derby, five other stakes, the Grade 2, $200,000 Charles Whittingham, the Grade 3, $200,000 Monrovia, the $150,000 Echo Eddie and the $150,000 Evening Jewel will serve to highlight an incredible day of racing.
First post time for a 12-race card on Derby Day is set for 12 noon. With the Rainbow Six comprised of the final six races on the program, leg one will be Saturday's seventh race, with an approximate post time of 3 p.m. PT.
The Runhappy Santa Anita Derby, which will be broadcast live on NBC, will be carded as Saturday's sixth race.
Admission gates will open on Derby Day at 10 a.m. For additional information, please visit santaanita.com or call (626) 574-RACE.
