Del Mar Press Release
DEL MAR, Calif.— Pick Six players will have two special shots at cashing in big time on the popular wager this Friday and Saturday when Del Mar offers value-plus on the exotic bet that requires selecting the winners of the last six races on a program.
On Friday, the track will “guarantee” a $1-million score to any single-ticket winner of the bet, which can be attempted for as little as 20¢ a ticket. Should a person be the only one to “hit” the wager, they would win the prize (which might be as much as $400,000), after which Del Mar will write them an additional check to bring their final score up to $1 million.
Then on Saturday’s special FanDuel Racing Pacific Classic Day card, there will be no “carryovers” on the wager: all monies in the pool will be paid out to those with the most winners. If present carryovers continue into the Saturday card, a total prize of as much as $4 million on the “mandatory payout” program is well with the realm of possibilities.
The current Pick Six carryover going into Thursday’s program is $255,282.
The record for a Pick Six payout at Del Mar is the $2,100,017 winning ticket on August 1, 2004.
Friday’s program will offer eight races; Saturday’s will have 11. Friday’s first post is 3 p.m., while Saturday’s is 1:30 p.m.
