With three Grade 1 stakes highlighting what promises to be an outstanding racing card, fans will get the opportunity to take a shot at what will likely be a $5 million pool with a mandatory payout in the Memorial Day 20 cent Pick Six Jackpot at Santa Anita on Monday.
With a Rainbow Six carryover into Friday of $449,347, track officials project Monday's pool is likely to exceed $5 million, providing there is no Single Ticket winner on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
In addition to the prospect of a $5 million Rainbow Six pool on Monday, there will also be guaranteed pools of $500,000 in Santa Anita's 50 cent Late Pick 5 throughout the holiday weekend on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
First post time for a nine-race card on Monday is at 1 p.m., with the Rainbow Six comprised of races four through nine. Fans can download free Equibase past performances for Monday's races at santaanita.com.
Along with great betting opportunities, Memorial Day Monday is also Dollar Day, with $1 beers, $1 sodas and $2 hot dogs.
