Santa Anita Returns Traditional Pick Six

Santa Anita Park will return to a traditional $1 Pick Six when its 18-day Autumn Meet opens on Friday, Sept. 29, the track said in a press release early Friday.

Officials have responded to the wishes of a vast number of players seeking a return to a more traditional format with 70 percent of the net pool paid to tickets which correctly select all six winners and 30 percent paid in a consolation payoff to those players who select five of six winners.

As is the case with the traditional Pick Six format, in the event there are no tickets with all six winners, 70 percent of the net pool is carried over to the next card and 30 percent is paid out to winning consolation tickets.

The Pick Six will again be comprised of the final six races on each day's program with a mandatory payout in place on closing day, Sunday, Nov. 5.

Heavy Fog Prompts Aqueduct Cancellation

Officials at the New York Racing Association (NYRA) were forced to call off the final four races on Saturday's New Year's Eve program, the result of heavy fog that rolled into the greater New York metropolitan area during the early afternoon hours that caused dangerously low visibility levels.

Per the rules of the New York Gaming Commission, the Pick 6 pool, featuring a carryover of $22,611, will be refunded. The wager and carryover will return on Sunday's card, beginning with race four, with a mandatory payout.

Saturday's featured $150,000 Queens County S. will be brought back as part of the program next Saturday, Jan. 7.

Aqueduct was to remain open for simulcasting from around the country. Sunday's New Year's Day card is highlighted by the $150,000 Ladies S. that is carded as race three. First post is 12:20 p.m. ET.

Fair Grounds Lowers Pick 5 Takeout to 15%, Adds New Pick 6

With the approval of the Louisiana State Racing Commission, Fair Grounds is lowering the takeout on its Pick 5 from 25% to 15% and adding a new Pick 6 at the same 15% rate with a $1 minimum.

“We are very excited about both of these new wagering opportunities for horseplayers,” said Gary Palmisano Jr., the newly-appointed Executive Director of Racing for Churchill Downs Incorporated, which owns Fair Grounds. “Fair Grounds has not had a Pick 6 in many years. After monitoring the success of this same wager at the New York Racing Association, we feel this is an interesting variation of the pool to implement and worth exploring.”

Fair Grounds offers a traditional Pick 5 where the entire pool, after the 15% takeout, is paid out to winning bettors. If there are no perfect Pick 5 tickets, the entire pool, minus the takeout, will carry over to the late Pick Five the next racing day. On most racing days there will be two Pick Five opportunities for horseplayers–an early and a late–and on cards of 11 races or more, a third may be added.

The new $1 Pick 6 will be “non-jackpot” and 75% of the after-takeout pool will be paid to all tickets with six winners. The other 25% will be paid to all those with five of six winners as a consolation. If no one has six winners, 75% goes to the next day as a carryover and 25% is paid to all the consolation tickets.

“The obvious goal is that this wager will create numerous carryover opportunities and draw attention to racing in New Orleans,” Palmisano Jr. added.

The 80-day 2022-2023 Fair Grounds racing season opens Friday, Nov. 18 and runs through Sunday, Mar. 26.
