There’s a pick six carryover of more than $169,000 into Wednesday’s eight-race Santa Anita program. That was pretty much assured when Moonlit Habit, a 57-1 long shot ridden by Alonzo Quinonez, won the fifth race Sunday and returned $117. Quinonez, whose book is being handled by veteran agent Richie Silverstein, also guided 10-1 outsider Spanish Ice ($23.60) to a victory in the seventh. Silverstein is also the agent for Martin Pedroza, who is sidelined with a fractured pelvis.
The pick-six pool Wednesday could approach or exceed $1 million.
I needed that Ellis firster to win the last race today – I part-wheeled the late double to her and had some good W/P cheese on her too. Thought she was the one in the lane…..just couldn’t get it done.
