Longshots have ruled the first four races, leaving only one of six runners covered in the lucrative 50-cent pick five going into Friday's fifth race.

If Papa Gulf (13) wins, there will be a payoff of $251,993 for the 50-cent bet. If Papa Gulf is beaten, the carryover would be the same.

Carryovers in the pick five wager are rare since the bet has a low minimum wager and is so popular that most combinations are typically covered.

Papa Gulf was 6-1 with 17-1 minutes to post. Impression (12) is the 9-5 favorite.
