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.
