SANTA ANITA PICK SIX CARRYOVER INTO THURSDAY OF $92,218; TOTAL PICK SIX POOL SHOULD APPROACH $500,000

UNTOUCHED THROUGH EIGHT DAYS, SANTA ANITA SINGLE TICKET JACKPOT CARRYOVER SWELLS TO $213,717

With average field size in Sunday’s Pick Six averaging just over 10 runners per race, Santa Anita’s two dollar Pick Six proved unhittable, resulting in a carryover into Thursday of $92,218. With three days off and fresh money expected, Thursday’s total Pick Six pool is expected to approach $500,000.

Additionally, for the eighth consecutive racing day, Santa Anita’s Single Ticket Pick Six Jackpot again proved elusive resulting in a separate Jackpot carryover of $213,717 heading into Thursday.

With an eight-race card on tap Thursday, the Pick Six will encompass races three through eight. A total of 59 horses, 57 of which are eligible to run, have been entered in Thursday’s Pick Six, making for average field size of 9.5 runners per race.

First post time Thursday is at 1 p.m. and approximate post time for race three is at 2 p.m. PT.

Thank you for your continued support of Santa Anita and IdaBet.com!

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 24^th consecutive program at Gulfstream Park on Sunday, swelling the jackpot carryover to $1,464,550.68 for Wednesday’s card.

Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $39,124.30.

The carryover jackpot is 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 goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

The carryover jackpot pool going into Sunday’s six-race sequence (Races 6-11) was $1,287,926.22, generating a Rainbow 6 handle of $736,026.

The popular multi-race wager has last solved on Dec. 7, when a lucky ticketholder cashed for a $98,309.32 jackpot payoff.

Who’s Hot: The Ortiz brothers each made two visits to the winner’s circle. Irad Ortiz Jr. scored aboard Pounds to Pennies ($6.20) in the sixth race and Whoop Ti Do ($5.60) in the seventh. Jose Ortiz won on Uncle Tbone ($4.60) in the third and Cosita Rica ($9.20) in the 11^th.

Dear Valued IdaBet.com players:

We are temporarily having to suspend Northfield Park’s racing signal due to a lawsuit filed by the Ohio horseman’s association against Northfield Park for alleged penalties owed for not fully disclosing all

​export signal ​

entities per contracts (in a nutshell).

Unfortunately, even though our company provided the proper contract language and specifically listed all our operational sites, Northfield Park submitted approvals to the  Ohio horseman’s association that only listed the legal entity name or in our case, only submitted a partial list of operational sites and the horsemen are arguing that penalty is due on the handle from those specific sites even though purses were paid for all handle according to Northfield Park.

We’ve been told by Northfield Park that they are at the negotiating table with the Ohio horsemen but that signal must be suspended on the sites that were not specifically included by TRA code in the submittal process.

We have also been told by Northfield Park that this issue effects a multitude of sites across the country both ADW and OTB.

This is extremely unfortunate for all parties as handle will be affected at Northfield Park, purses will be affected to the Ohio horsemen, and innocent companies such as ours are affected because we’re caught in the crossfire

​ through no fault of our own​

.

We’re hopeful an agreement can be reached quickly and we can resume signal distribution in the near future.

We apologize and regret any inconvenience this will cause you. ...

Heavily Favored McKinzie Remains Unbeaten As He Takes Grade III $100,000 Sham Stakes By 3 1/2 Lengths Under Smith

Jan 8, 2018

HEAVILY FAVORED MCKINZIE REMAINS UNBEATEN AS HE TAKES GRADE III, $100,000 SHAM STAKES BY 3 ½ LENGTHS UNDER SMITH; BAFFERT TAKES BLINKERS OFF & STREET SENSE COLT RELAXES WELL EARLY

WITH THE WIN, MCKINZIE PICKS UP 10 KENTUCKY DERBY QUALIFYING POINTS

Bob Baffert’s McKinzie took another significant step toward the Kentucky Derby by winning Saturday’s Grade III, $100,000 Sham Stakes in stylish fashion under Mike Smith, as he dominated by 3 ½ lengths while getting a flat mile in 1:36.58.

With Baffert removing blinkers, McKinzie seemed more settled early than he had been in his first trip around two turns, a win, via disqualification in the Grade I Cash Call Los Alamitos Futurity at 1 1/16 miles on Dec. 9.

“He was a bit too aggressive last time,” said Smith. “Today, he seemed to relax early, then he jumped when I asked, so taking the blinkers off today, I thought we might as well try it and I think it was a great move.”

The heavy 1-5 favorite in a field of six sophomores, McKinzie paid $2.40, $2.40 and $2.10.

Owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman, McKinzie, a Kentucky-bred colt by Street Sense, is now perfect in three starts and with the winner’s check of $60,000, he now has earnings of $270,000.

In a gallant effort, All Out Blitz, who tried two turns for the first time and was ridden by Tyler Baze, went to the front as expected and although he was no match for the winner when confronted a quarter mile out, stayed gamely for the place, finishing four lengths clear of My Boy Jack.

Off at 14-1, All Out Blitz paid $7.20 and $3.80.

Ridden by Kent Desormeaux and trying dirt for the first since his debut six starts back, My Boy Jack held off second choice Shivermetimbers by a neck and paid $2.80 to show.

With the win, McKinzie picked up 10 Kentucky Derby qualifying points, with four, two and one point each going to the second, third...
