WOW! That is insane. Does anyone know how the rest of the ticket was structured?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Not sure.

I know the Breeders Cup Fix 6 winning ticket consisted of four straight singles, followed by two ALL-ALL's.

I think it's pretty amusing that someone singled a 65/1 shot in leg one of pick six!...if this is true.

If you have DRF Plus, you can check it out on Free's Daily Plays for today. I can't post it.

Four horses in the seventh and two horses in the eighth. Not exactly like the BC structure, but perhaps that was done by design.

Ateam - certainly does raise some eyebrows. Maybe the person(s) who singled the horse in Leg A had a connection to the horse so they had to single him. It was just a $16 ticket. Either good handicapping or luck or both.

I've played this game for the better half of my life and I've never heard of someone singling a 60-1 shot and having it win, much less, having it be one of four straight singles and then hitting the pick 6.

I would like to know the percentages of that happening. Virtually impossible for me to believe.

If that explains the 65/1 shot he singled, he still needed to connect with three more singles in the next three races....a proposition that was offering 426/1 odds on a parlay.

But yeah, just the concept of singling a 65/1 shot in leg 1 of a P6 is virtually unheard of.

That horse (the 65/1 shot) was out of the 1st race of the pick six sequence on the huge carryover day at Hollywood. Exhale!!! He didn't run horrible and shouldn't have been 65/1. But, I agree someone got lucky here.

Just two cents to think about (at least from my optimistic perspective) is that we're using the 65-1 number as the standard.

If this were a player who placed their pick-6 wager before the pools opened, say a bet from a bettor who wasn't actively wagering on each race and just handicapped it first and placed it -- the morning line odds and the final odds were:

20-1 -- off at 65-1
5-1 -- off at 8-1
3-1 -- off at 2-1
8-1 -- off at 14-1

While the early singling still looks fishy, it doesn't look quite as crazy when you look at the ML odds of the horses. This player didn't necessarily single a 65-1 shot, he or she may have singled what they thought was a 20-1 shot.

If that matters....

This explanation makes it sound less suspicious. I thought, after the Breeders' Cup Pick 6 fix, that it was near impossible to manipulate the Pick 6 wagers. Anyone know if all venues made the security repairs?
