$1.1MM payout caps thrilling SA P6
By kasept. Filed in 2016 |Tags: Santa Anita
Truly exciting day of action at Santa Anita as $1.1MM double carryover prize hung in the balance of nightcap after Gary Sherlock single-handedly attempted to force a 3rd day of P6 excitement with 64-1 and 17-1 upsetters. Favorite True Brilliance romped in the 9th to deliver a single winner the 7-figure payout however and the only carryover into Sunday is a $25k Hi-5 kitty.
Enjoyed my Beat the Host duties and thank everyone that played. Hope everyone did well Saturday! Had prepared for possible Sunday C/O insanity on another strong SA card, so here’s the sequence to further enhance a day that already boasts the NFC/AFC Championships and return of X-Files tonight…
