There were no winning tickets in Friday's 50-cent pick five, leading to a massive carryover of $251,993 for the first pick five of Saturday's program.

Going into Friday's fifth race, only one horse was covered in the pick five. Papa Gulf was as close as third but faded to finish fourth behind race winner Taniko ($6.60).

The early pick five pool will soar on Saturday, with the likelihood of $1.5 million in new money.

The pick five covers the first five races on a program that begins at noon, Pacific.
