Mandatory Payout for Del Mar’s ‘Pick Six Weekend’

Del Mar will feature a “Pick Six Weekend” this Saturday and Sunday with a $1-million single ticket guarantee on Saturday's 11-race program and a “mandatory” payout in place for Sunday's planned 11-race card.

Saturday's “guarantee” means anyone correctly selecting the bet as a single-ticket winner would get the complete amount in the pot, then earn an additional check from Del Mar to raise the total earnings to $1 million. If there is no single ticket winner, all “jackpot” (single ticket) carryover money will go forward to Sunday.

Those with the most winners Sunday will be paid the amount in the pot divided by the total number of winners. There will be no carryovers.

No one was able to hit the popular exotic bet as a single ticket through the first three days of racing at the seaside track's summer meet, resulting in a $195,122 “jackpot” carryover into Thursday's fourth day of the meet.

The largest win prize in the history of the bet at Del Mar took place Aug. 1, 2004, when one bettor collected a reward of $2,100,017.

Son Of Maximus Mischief Conquers Maiden Field At Del Mar

8th-Del Mar, $84,000, Msw, 7-23, 2yo, 5f, :57.71, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
RAGING TORRENT (c, 2, Maximus Mischief–Violent Wave, by Violence) received an unconvincing 9-1 chance in this maiden spot after bringing $75,000 at the OBS April Sale and was a step slow behind the field to start. In chase mode from the bell, he saved ground into the turn and fanned out wide to bid with a quarter to run. Despite Antonio Fresu losing his crop at the head of the lane, Raging Torrent needed no extra encouragement, drawing away from the field to graduate by 2 1/4 lengths. I Win Again (Speightstown) came home second while $700,000 Keeneland September grad Rothschild (Uncle Mo) took little money and came home fifth. The sixth individual winner for freshman sire Maximus Mischief (by Into Mischief), Raging Torrent has a yearling Honor A.P. half-brother. His dam reported a filly by Collected this spring. Sales History: $27,000 RNA Ylg '22 KEESEP; $75,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
