The victory by Concord Jet in the final race at Del Mar on Thursday resulted in a single ticket winning the pick six for $218,929. The ticket cost $1,536, and was purchased at Del Mar.

There was a $155,879 carryover in the single-ticket jackpot coming into Thursday's races. Fresh money of $97,191 was bet on the pick six on Thursday.

Concord Jet is trained by Brian Koriner. On Nov. 11, a Koriner trainee won the final race on a day when a single ticket hit the pick six for $138,889. That ticket also was purchased on track.

Concord Jet scored a front-running victory and stayed up following a stewards' inquiry into the start of the race. Had he been disqualified, the pick six would have carried over. According to the explanation announced by Trevor Denman after being briefed by the stewards, the stewards ruled that although Corcord Jet veered out, the horses who were compromised finished so far back that it did not impact the order of finish.

Editorial addendum:

I'm not sure how one could know that being interfered with at the start could not impact where the horse finishes, but there you go.

The rule stewards are supposed to use says they are supposed to determine if a horse was denied "the opportunity" of a better placing. I'd think getting severely interfered with at the start of a 5 1/2-furlong race might cost one the "opportunity" of a better placing.

For the record, I had no financial interest in the outcome of the race.

I just think it's a bad call, and it's been a bad policy to allow this situation in Southern California going back to l'affair Bayern in the Breeders' Cup Classic four years ago.

And if the horse is taken down, the conspiracy theorists would have come out of the woodwork ("they DQ'd the horse to continue the carryover!").

There were no satisfying outcomes here. Well, except for the holder(s) of the lone winning ticket.
