$145,797 Pick 6 Carryover Thursday At Los Alamitos; Miyadi Saddles Three Winners Sunday

For the sixth time in the first seven days of the Los Angeles County Fair Winter Thoroughbred meet at Los Alamitos in Cypress, Calif., there will be a Pick 6 carryover when racing resumes Thursday.

The carryover will be a hefty $145,797 as no tickets were able to isolate six winners for the fourth consecutive racing day.

Three upsets in a row by Next Flight ($26.80) in the sixth, Synthesis ($24.40) and Loud Loud Music ($19.80) in the eighth triggered another carryover.

The Pick 6 will begin in Thursday's fourth race. Post time is 12:30 p.m. and scheduled post time for the fourth is 1:58 p.m. The pool could reach $500,000.

Trainer Steve Miyadi won three of the final four races Sunday with longshots, including 8-1 outsider Loud Loud Music in the $50,500 feature at Los Alamitos.

Unplaced in three previous starts on dirt, the 3-year-old daughter of Tizbud and the Bernstein mare Your Cheatin Heart rallied late to defeat Cheap Cheap Cheap and eight others in the optional claimer for fillies and mares bred or sired in California.

Owned by breeder Nick Alexander and ridden by Abel Cedillo, Loud Loud Music won for the third time in eight starts and the $28,800 payday pushed her earnings to $95,100. She paid $19.80, $7.60 and $5.

Cheap Cheap Cheap, the 7-2 second choice under jockey Flavien Prat, returned $4.60 and $3.40 while finishing 1 ½ lengths in front of 2-1 favorite Habobanero. The show price on Habobanero was $3.20.

Miyadi's other two victories were provided by Next Flight, who returned $26.80 in taking the sixth and first time starter Becca Taylor, also owned by breeder Alexander, who scored a 17-1 surprise in the ninth.

With four days remaining in the Los Angeles County Fair Winter Thoroughbred meet, Juan Hernandez holds an 8-7 lead over Cedillo and apprentice Jessica Pyfer in the jockey standings.

Miyadi has four wins to hold the edge in the trainer's race, one ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, Isidro Tamayo and Jonathan Wong.
