Mandatory payouts will be sprinkled throughout the Sunday afternoon card at Golden Gate Fields in Albany, Calif., with the aforementioned payouts set to take place in the Golden Pick Six, the Rolling Super High Five and both the Early and Late Pick 5 wagers. First post on Sunday is 1:15 PM PT.
The headliner on Sunday is the mandatory payout of the Golden Pick Six jackpot wager, a 20-cent minimum bet. Heading into the Sunday program, the current pool sits at $329,496. With the entire pool to be paid out, horseplayers can expect a seven-figure “new money” pool to be added into the already large Pick Six pot. The first leg of the sequence goes as Race 5, with post time for the first race of the sequence set at 3:27 PM PT. There were 48 horses entered in the six-race sequence.
Three of the races in Sunday's Golden Pick Six sequence are turf routes. The fourth leg, Race 8, appears as an appealing handicapping puzzle. A 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight sprint on Tapeta for 2-year-old fillies, Race 8 drew a full field of 12 entrants. Leading trainer Jonathan Wong saddles a pair of contenders as do top Golden Gate conditioners Steve Sherman, Isidro Tamayo and Blaine Wright. The feature race of the day, Race 9, is an allowance for 3-year-old fillies, featuring the rapidly improving Sadie Bluegrass and the Michael McCarthy trained Woke Up To Aces from Southern California.
The 50-cent Early Pick 5, which links the first five races each day, is a player-friendly 14% takeout wager. The 50-cent Late Pick 5, on the other hand, consists of the last five races each day. The $1 Rolling Super High Five, which gives bettors the task of correctly tabbing the first five finishers in a race, will have a mandatory payout in the final race of the day, Race 10.
Race 9 at Golden Gate is the second leg of the Golden Hour Pick 4 wager, a 15% takeout wager linking the last two races at Santa Anita and the last two races at Golden Gate. The finale at Golden Gate, Race 10, is the second leg of the $5 minimum Golden Hour Double, a Daily Double wager which compliments the Golden Hour Pick 4 and combines the final race at Santa Anita with the nightcap at Golden Gate.
