Sunday's pick six began with two carryovers and had greater-than-normal interest with a pool of $500,702 in new money.

The bet began with a carryover of $71,591 in the main pool and $188,432 in the single ticket jackpot portion of the pool, which is paid only if there is one winning ticket.

With other circuits not racing this afternoon, notably New York, the Santa Anita races had a larger presence on the national stage.

The pick six began in the fourth race, which was won by favored Vasilika ($4), who closed from off the pace to hold off the European import Melissa Jane, a 3-1 chance.
