The winning payoff on the mandatory payout Charles Town pick six was incorrectly calculated and disseminated on Saturday, Charles Town Classic Day.
There was a carryover of $179,963 coming into the card and $1,196,337 in fresh money was wagered into the pool. The Charles Town 6-12, as it is called, has a 12 percent takeout.
The original payout posted on TVG was a 20-cent payout of $6,168.50 and a carryover the correct payout of $9,630.62 for a 20-cent ticket and no carryover. There were 128 winning tickets.
As of noon Sunday, the Equibase chart still listed the payout as $9,630.60 for a $1 wager.
Erich Zimny, the vice president of racing operations at Charles Town, said a wrong payout was posted but quickly corrected.
It was "caught very early and repriced," he said.
The track's Twitter feed, @RaceCharlesTown, posted the following message, which elicited a limited number of critical responses:
"PICK 6 UPDATE: Tote initially priced the Pick 6 payout incorrectly. There is NO carryover. EVERYONE who hit the Pick 6 is getting paid the correct and full amount."
The winning horses in the sequence were Malpais ($4), Clubman ($21.80), Divine Mischief ($29.20), Runnin'toluvya ($21.20), Parisian Diva ($3.40), and Winning Scholar ($9.80).
