At odds of 14-1, a 3-year-old maiden daughter of the late Unusual Heat helped key a massive $450,706.96 payout in Friday's 20 cent Single Ticket Rainbow Pick 6 Jackpot at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif.
Purchased for $307.20 through Xpressbet.com, the single winning ticket holder had to be feeling good at the top of the stretch, as New Heat, ridden by Abel Cedillo and trained by Anthony Saavedra, enjoyed a 1 1/2-length advantage, seconds later, that margin shrank precipitously, as New Heat held on to win by a diminishing neck at the wire.
Unhittable through the first 10 days of Santa Anita's current Autumn Meet, there was a Rainbow 6 jackpot carryover from Monday of $364,453. With $113,020 in new money wagered Friday, the total jackpot pool reached $477,473 by third race post time.
Beginning with Friday's third race, here are the winning horses, with prices, in Friday's 20 cent Single Ticket Rainbow Pick 6 Jackpot: R3, #10 Me Likey ($7.80), R4, #5 Don't Stop Lookin ($39.20), R5, #5 She's Our Charm ($8.00), R6, #5 Bold Endeavor ($10.80), R7, #3 Pyron ($7.60) and R8, #4 New Heat ($30.40).
