Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park will celebrate the HBO series
LUCK with a special Pick Six wager on Sunshine Millions Day, Saturday,
Jan. 28. The one dollar minimum wager will have a guaranteed pool of
$250,000 and will feature three races from Santa Anita and three from
Gulfstream Park. HBO’s LUCK, the highly anticipated racetrack-themed
series based at Santa Anita and starring Dustin Hoffman will premier the
following night, Jan. 29.
First post time on Millions Day is 12 noon. The LUCK Pick Six
will begin at approximately 1:10 p.m. with Gulfstream’s eighth race. It
will conclude with Santa Anita’s sixth race, which will be run at
approximately 2:37 p.m. All six races will be stakes races.
“The Stronach Group is very proud of the fact the Sunshine
Millions, which was initiated in 2003, has become one of our most
popular signature events here at Santa Anita,” said George Haines, Santa
Anita President. “LUCK has the potential to expose thousands of new
fans to our sport and to Santa Anita and we believe this wager is going
to help draw attention throughout the country.
“The LUCK Pick Six will start at Gulfstream with their eighth
race and from there we’ll be alternating with Gulfstream every other
race. We’re looking forward to welcoming many of the actors associated
with LUCK throughout the day in the winner’s circle and at other
ancillary locations throughout the track. The LUCK Pick Six is a great
way to get people excited about Sunshine Millions Day and to introduce a
new crowd to The Great Race Place,” Haines added.
In addition to a one dollar minimum wager, the LUCK Pick Six
will also offer a mandatory payout, with no carryover provision. In the
event of a Santa Anita Pick Six carryover on Friday, Jan. 27, all Pick
Six monies would be carried over to Sunday, Jan. 29.
The LUCK Pick Six will be televised on HRTV and at facebook.com/LUCKHBO.
Entries for the LUCK Pick Six will be taken this Sunday at both
Santa Anita and Gulfstream.
