TORONTO, June 16 - Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) today announced an exciting new concept for its Pick 6 wager...a Turbo-charged Pick 6.

The new Turbo-charged Pick 6 starts on Sunday, June 21, Queen's Plate Day, and will run once a week on Sundays. There will be $150,000 added to the June 21st Pick 6 carryover with a guaranteed minimum carryover for the following Sundays of $150,000.

This $2 Pick 6 on Sundays will replace the current Pick 6 schedule and will continue to cover the final races on the card (Races 6 through 11 on Queen's Plate day).

"Seeding our Pick 6 carryover with $150,000 should raise some eyebrows," said Sean Pinsonneault, WEG's Vice-President of Wagering Services. "This is not the standard pool guarantee you hear about but is real money that we will dump into the Pick 6 carryover, waiting for players to win. Woodbine offers one of the largest purse structures and average field sizes in North America and it is time to stop keeping it a secret."

This Turbo-charged Pick 6, a bet in which horseplayers are asked to select the winners of six consecutive races, is offered only on Sundays. If the Pick 6 jackpot is won on Sunday, WEG will re-seed the pool with another $150,000.
