Oaks/Derby Pick 6, 10-Cent Superfectas Highlight Derby Weekend Wagering Menu

A two-day Pick 6 that features six graded stakes races, including the $3 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and $1.25 million Longines Kentucky Oaks, highlights a spectacular wagering menu for the Oaks and Derby days at Churchill Downs.

Along with the $2 Oaks/Derby Pick 6, the wagering menu will also feature 10-cent Superfectas. In previous years, Superfectas on Oaks and Derby days were $1 because of the large on-track crowd. Without spectators in attendance, track officials reduced the minimum to 10 cents.

The Oaks/Derby Pick 6 has a mandatory payout with a 15% takeout. The wager will include the following races:

· Friday Race 10: $400,000 Alysheba presented by Sentient Jet (GII)

· Friday Race 11: $500,000 La Troienne presented by Oaks Grove Racing and Gaming (GI)

· Friday Race 12: $1.25 million Longines Kentucky Oaks (GI)

· Saturday Race 12: $500,000 Derby City Distaff presented by Derby City Gaming (GI)

· Saturday Race 13: $1 million Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic (GI)

· Saturday Race 14: $3 million Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve (GI)

Friday's Oaks Day card also includes the two-day Oaks/Derby Double and Oaks/Old Forester Bourbon/Derby Pick 3.

There will be four 50-cent Pick 5 pools with a low 15% takeout on both Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days.

The wagering menu also includes the 20-cent Single 6 Jackpot. To win the entire Single 6 Jackpot, a player must have the only winning combination. If there are multiple winning combinations, 90 percent of the pool will be paid out and 10 percent will carry to the next day's card. The Single 6 Jackpot takeout is 15%. There will be a mandatory payout on Kentucky Derby Day.

Bets can be placed online at TwinSpires.com, the official advance-deposit wagering service for Churchill Downs Incorporated and the Kentucky Derby, as well as other online wagering outlets and satellite wagering centers across North America.

Mandatory Payout: Saturday’s Rainbow 6 At Gulfstream Features $349,328 Carryover

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool is set for Saturday's FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes program at Gulfstream Park.

Four stakes for 2-year-olds, including the $200,000 FSS Affirmed and $200,000 FSS Susan's Girl, will be included in the popular multi-race wager's six-race sequence.

With a carryover of $349,328.25 heading into Saturday's program, the Rainbow 6 pool is expected to swell into the millions. Gulfstream hosts and analysts Ron Nicoletti and Jason Blewitt look at Saturday's sequence and provide handicapping tips.

The Rainbow 6 sent unsolved for the eighth consecutive program Friday, when tickets with all six winners were each worth $388.14.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is usually only 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Race 7-12, kicked off by a full field of $6,250 maiden claiming fillies and mares going six furlongs in Race 7, followed by the $75,000 Proud Man, the $200,000 Susan's Girl, the $75,000 Sharp Susan and the $200,000 Affirmed. The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a 1 1/16-mile turf race for $12,500 claimers.

The Proud Man, a mile turf race, will be contested by nine juveniles, including Boca Boy, who finished third in the $100,000 Dr. Fager, the first leg of the Florida Sire Stakes series Aug. 1. The Sharp Susan, a mile turf race for 2-year-old fillies, attracted Spanish Loveaffair, who captured her July 23 debut by 11 lengths for trainer Mark Casse.

Breeze On By, who captured the six-furlong Dr. Fager, returns in the seven-furlong Affirmed, in which the Ralph Nicks trainee will again clash with Dr. Fager runner-up Gatsby.

Go Jo Jo Go, a late-closing winner of the $100,000 FSS Desert Vixen, will headline the seven-furlong Susan's Girl, in which Desert Vixen runner-up Princess Secret will seek revenge on the Michael Yates trainee.

Breeze On By and Go Jo Jo Go are both owned by Gilbert Campbell's Stonehedge LLC, winner of 14 Florida Sire Stakes series races.
