NYRA Schedules Mandatory Payout Of Empire 6 For Aug. 9

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) announced Thursday that the Sunday, Aug. 9 card at Saratoga Race Course will feature a mandatory payout of the Empire 6, which boasts a jackpot of $1,080,254 heading into Thursday's live racing action at the Spa.

Live coverage of all the races in the sequence will be available with Saratoga Live on FOX Sports and MSG+. Free Equibase-provided past performances will be available for races that are part of the Saratoga Live broadcast and can be accessed at https://www.nyra.com/saratoga/racing/tv-schedule.

The Empire 6 requires the bettor to select the first-place finisher of the final six races of the card. On non-mandatory payout days, if one unique ticket exists, then 100 percent of the net pool, plus the jackpot carryover if applicable, will be paid to the winner. If there is no unique wager selecting the first-place finisher in all six races, then 75 percent of the day's net pool will be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of races. The remainder will be added into the jackpot and carried to the next day's Empire 6.

Sunday's card is headlined by the $85,000 Alydar, a nine-furlong test for 4-year-olds and up.
