The traditional $2 Pick Six and a diverse set of wagers highlight the betting menu on offer for Santa Anita's 90th year, which begins with the Classic Meet on Thursday, Dec. 26, 1/ST Racing & Gaming said in a press release on Friday.
Santa Anita made several changes to its wagering menu including raising the minimum bet for the Pick Six and adding what they describe as low-takeout wagers prior to the most recent Santa Anita Autumn Meet. Each will remain in place for both the Classic Meet, which ends Apr. 6, and the Hollywood Meet which runs from Apr. 18 to June 15.
If there are no tickets with the half dozen winners necessary for the $2 Pick Six, 70 percent of the pool will then carry over to the next race day with the remainder paid out in consolations.
'The Great Race Place' will again offer a $5 minimum late Daily Double, $3 late Pick 3 and $3 All-Turf Pick 3, each of which sports a 15 percent takeout rate.
The Late and Early Pick 5 ay 50 cents returns, while the $1 Coast-to-Coast Pick 5 is also back with a 15 percent takeout rate. The Coast-to-Coast Pick 5, which combines races from Santa Anita and Gulfstream Park, is offered every Saturday and Sunday through the end of the Hollywood Meet.
Santa Anita also has a $1 Super High 5 on the final race each day. If there are no perfect tickets, 100 percent of the pool will carryover to the following day's Super High 5.
The 10-cent superfecta will be offered on all races with a minimum of six runners, along with $1 exactas, and 50-cent Early and Late Pick 4's.
