I am not talking about the Pick 6 at Del Mar.
The entire Jackpot Pick 6 was hit today at Ferndale.
The California Fairs run a Jackpot type wager that carry's over from Fair to Fair. So far the only fair that has run this year has been at Pleasanton. The wine Country, or Santa Rosa meet at GGF does not participate in this jackpot bet. Ferndale was the 2nd fair to race, with opening day yesterday. Nobody had the lone winning ticket at Pleasanton, which ended in mid July, so the carryover started yesterday at around $199K. They bet around $1000 yesterday with no jackpot winner.
On todays card the field size were 4-5-4-5-6-7. That alone should make it impossible to jackpot.
They bet $9900 into todays pick 6, and going into the last race, six of the seven horses had one live ticket to them, each paying $206K. There was one horse, the #
that had multiple tickets and would have paid $1400.
The winning prices were, $11.00, $5.40, $11.80, $9.80, $17.20 and $8.80. So no strangers won.
So with 31 total horses to play, on a $0.20 wager, someone was alive to 6 of the 7 for the whole pool.
$3360 wager covers all horses in each race. I wonder if someone, or group did it.
There were 3 odds on favorites that did not win.
Interesting result
