Santa Anita's traditional $1 Pick Six heads a robust and varied 2023-24 Classic Meet Wagering Menu as The Great Race Place approaches its traditional opening day on Tuesday, Dec. 26.
The $1 Pick Six features a carryover component and a 70/30 split, with 70 percent of each day's net pool going to any ticket with six winners and the remaining 30 percent paid out to consolation winners with five winners. In the event there are no tickets with six winners, 70 percent of the net pool is carried over to the next racing day.
Along with the $1 Pick Six, Santa Anita will also again be offering the $3 All Turf Pick 3. Unveiled at its recent Autumn Meet, the $3 All Turf Pick, which is comprised of the final three turf races each day, proved very popular with players seeking large fields and added value.
Additionally, all Trifectas and rolling Pick 3's will now be $1 minimum wagers in an effort to increase mutuel payouts.
The upcoming Classic Meet will no doubt get off to a fast start, as three Grade 1, $300,000 stakes, the Malibu, the La Brea and the American Oaks headline what figures to be a spectacular card. Additionally, three Grade 2, $200,000 stakes, the San Antonio, the San Gabriel and the Mathis Mile, will also adorn the opening day proceedings.
Santa Anita will continue to offer a low 14 percent takeout 50 cent Early Pick 5, as well as the 50 cent Late Pick 5, $1 exactas, $2 rolling Daily Doubles, an early 50 cent Pick 4, as well as 10 cent Superfectas on all races with a minimum of six runners. As noted above, all Trifectas and rolling Pick 3's are now $1 minimum wagers.
In addition to wagering on-track, fans have a variety of betting options, including 1st.com/bet, which can be downloaded free of charge at the App Store. In addition to Santa Anita's simulcast signal, all of the track's races are available free of charge at santaanita.com/live will be shown live on FanDuel TV as well.
