Santa Anitas GI Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5,
With three undefeated runners and several other strong
contenders signed on, Saturday's renewal of Santa Anitas GI
Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the
GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5, appears to be a
wide-open affair. Bob Baffert seeks his 10th victory in this event
and will saddle two
very strong chances to
achieve that mark
with >TDN Rising
Stars= American
Cleopatra (Pioneerof
the Nile) and Noted
and Quoted (The
Factor). A full-sister to
Triple Crown winner
and Horse of the Year
American Pharoah, American Cleopatra was an impressive debut
winner over Union Strike (Union Rags) at Del Mar July 31, but
wasforced to settle for second last time when that rival came
running late to win the Sept. 3 GI Del Mar Debutante S. by 2 1/4
lengths going seven furlongs. Fourth in her July 16 Del Mar
unveiling, Speedway Stable=s Noted and Quoted romped by 9
1/2 lengths next out there Aug. 7 and was fourth last time in the
Del Mar Debutante.
Also exiting the Debutante is third-place finisher Champagne
Room (Broken Vow). Second when debuting in the same July 16
Del Mar test as Noted and Quoted, the bay broke her maiden
with a win in the GII Sorrento S. Aug. 6 prior to her effort in the
Debutante last time.
Leading the trio of unbeaten runners is LNJ Foxwoods= With
Honors(War Front), who is two-for-two on grass thus far in her
young career. Opening her account with a half-length success
over the Del Mar lawn, the Keith Desormeaux pupil won that
venue=s Juvenile Fillies Turf S. by the same margin last time Sept.
5. Also looking to remain perfect is Zapperkat (Ghostzapper),
who romped by 5 1/4 lengths in her Del Mar unveiling Aug. 20;
and Bitzka (Tiago), who was claimed by Hronis Racing and John
Sadler for $62,500 after a debut win at Del Mar Aug. 25 and
followed suit with a victory in the Barretts Debutante S. Sept.
17.

Del Mar Changes Pick 6 to "Jackpot" Wager

A change to the Pick Six wager that is expected to offer large payoffs and re-energize what has been California's most popular exotic bet will have its debut with the opening of the annual Del Mar Fall race meeting when the track changes the structure of the bet to a "jackpot" style wager.
The Pick Six will offer a "Single Ticket Jackpot" element added to it which allows for a solo winner to score a potentially hefty jackpot. That enhancement was approved by the California Horse Racing Board at its monthly meeting Sept. 22 and will debut at the 15-day seaside session starting Friday, Nov. 11.
The standard formula for the Pick Six is that 70% of the total pool is paid out to those with tickets tabbing six of six winners. Consolation tickets, those with five of six winners, divided the remaining 30% of the pool.
The new twist on the Pick Six will alter that arrangement. Those picking all six winners will continue to get 70% of the pool, but the remaining 30% will be split two ways. Those with consolation tickets will be paid 15% of the pool, while the final 15% will be carried forward until there is a lone Pick Six winning ticket at which time that day's total Pick Six pool, along with the complete carryover pool, is paid to that one lucky winner.
"The majority of Pick Six players won't find anything different in this enhancement," said Craig Dado, Del Mar's executive vice president for marketing. "They're still paying $2 for the bet, 70% of the pool continues to go to those who pick six winners, the takeout is the same and the chance for a huge score is still there. What is different, though, is that there now will be a chance for an even bigger score if you've got that one ticket."
The new arrangement allows for payouts on the "Single Ticket Jackpot" pool on any day of the meeting. But in the scenario where no single ticket wins the bet for the whole meet, the entire carryover would be put in the closing-day Pick Six pool (Sunday, December 4) and paid out to all winning tickets.
Del Mar reports focus groups among a cross-section of racing fans have provided positive feedback on the new bet to track officials. Many bettors said they liked the idea of the payout remaining at 70% of the pool for those picking six winners, while others were intrigued by the idea of a large pool growing separately with the potential for a massive payout on closing day. Most Pick Six players indicated that consolation pools weren't the reason they played the bet and Del Mar officials emphasized that the consolation prizes weren't being taken away, but rather adjusted to allow for half of it to be reallocated to the "Jackpot" pool.
