The “All Burger”. That’s a name someone in the press box came up with years ago to describe having the only winning Pick Six ticket. It happened today to the tune of $118,338 and the ticket was bought on-track. Someone in the crowd of 4,913 left with a six-figure score and they deserved it, considering the last five winners in the Pick Six paid double digits, concluding with longshot UNUSUAL MEN ($30.40 after being listed at 4/1 on the morning line).
Eight different winning jockeys and trainers today. The most impressive horse on the card was comebacker MR TEX, who romped home in the 6th race while winning in 1:09.1 for Bob Baffert and Victor Espinoza. He was well regarded last summer but didn’t run well in his only start…obviously something went amiss that day at Del Mar.
Jockey Jorge Chavez was off again today after suffering a knee injury during training hours on Thursday morning. He is listed as “day to day”.
BALANCE and ERMINE square off in tomorrow’s Grade I Santa Margarita locally but the best action of the day is the great card from Fair Grounds. Garrett Gomez, Corey Nakatani and Alex Solis will be in Louisiana, and Jose Valdivia will ride COURT THE KING in the El Camino Real Derby at Bay Meadows.
Happy Birthday to the venerable JOHN HENRY, who turned 32 today. Residing at the Kentucky Horse Park, he’s apparently still as ornery as ever.
Don’t forget about the huge carryover in the Magna Five, which begins with Laurel’s 9th race at 1:40 p.m.
