Astronaut Helps Vic Stauffer Orbit Field To Win Pacific Classic Betting Challenge

Vic Stauffer, from Hot Springs, Ark., hit a $100 race 11 exacta that paid more than $45,000 to blast into the lead of Saturday's Pacific Classic Betting Challenge at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif. Stauffer bested 115 total entries with a final bankroll of $55,820.

Todd Cady from San Diego and Roger Cettina from Rumson, N.J., finished second and third to round out the top three as both turned the $3,500 starting bankroll into over $33,000.

Stauffer wins $50,000 in cash plus $10,000 Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge entry, this year held at Del Mar on November 5 and 6. His gigantic exacta payoff in the last race featured a 24-1 winner on top of a 22-1 second-place finisher to easily move into the first place finish.

A total of seven entries to the Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge were awarded to the top seven finishers. Also awarded were 2022 National Horseplayers Championship berths plus cash prizes accumulating to $180,000 in total prizes.

$36 Million Handle Sets All-Time Summer Wagering Mark At Del Mar

Del Mar established a new single-day betting mark Saturday when $36,005,613 was wagered on the seaside track's 11-race TVG Pacific Classic Day card smashing the old mark of $25,870,431 set on TVG Pacific Classic Day in 2018.

Besides a terrific race card that included five Graded stakes topped by the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, the track also had the benefit of a massive 20-cent Pick 6 Single Ticket Jackpot pool that finally topped out at $10,751,767, fueled by a mandatory payout.

The pool consisted of a $1,874,996 carryover jackpot and “new” money of $8,876,771. Each winning ticket – and there were 822 of them – paid $10,521.50

TVG Pacific Classic Day had been designated as a “mandatory payout” day, meaning all monies would be paid out to those with the most winners. The track will have another such “mandatory” day on its closing day, Labor Day Monday, Sept. 6.

Hronis Racing's Tripoli captured the TVG Pacific Classic and earned a first prize of $600,000. The 4-year-old colt also earned an all-entry-fees-paid admission into the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6.

Gulfstream Rainbow 6 To Have Guaranteed $400,000 Pool Sunday

Gulfstream Park's Rainbow 6 jackpot will have a guaranteed pool of $400,000 when racing resumes Sunday with 12:50 p.m. first race post at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track.

Sunday's 10-race card, which drew 104 entries, features five turf races and a maiden special weight event for 2-year-olds at seven furlongs.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Pacific Classic Day Could See Record Handle, Pick Six To Include $1.87 Million Carryover

Del Mar's single-day betting mark (not counting the two Breeders' Cup days held here in 2017), could tumble today thanks to a terrific racing card and a $1,874,996 carryover into today's Pick Six Single Ticket Jackpot wager.

TVG Pacific Classic Day has been designated as one of two “mandatory payout” dates (the other is closing day), which means that all monies in the pool – including the carryover – will be paid out this afternoon to those with the most winners in the six-race bet.

The current single-day mark is the $25,870,431 wagered on TVG Pacific Classic Day on August 18, 2018.

Estimates of anywhere from $6- to $10-million in “new money” in the Pick Six pool today would most assuredly push the one-day betting handle above the former mark, possibly into the $30-million-plus range.

The track's 20¢ Pick Six Single Ticket Jackpot wager has carried over 18 times since it was hit on Day 2 of the current meet.
