The Dade Park 6 challenges bettors to pick the winners of the final six races on the program. The wager carries a 15% takeout.

The spotlight falls on race 8, the $150,000 Ellis Park Turf in which multiple-stakes winner Everland has been installed as the 7-5 morning-line favorite.

The sequence begins with a $10,000 claiming race for fillies and mares followed by an oversubscribed, maiden special-weight on turf which drew 12 2-year-old fillies plus one also-eligible.

A first-level allowance sprint for seven fillies and mares is next, and then 11 maiden 2-year-olds stretch to a mile in race 7.

The action wraps up in race 9 with a wide-open, maiden-claiming event for 3-year-old fillies.

Sunday’s card also includes two Pick 5s starting with races 1 and 5 and two Pick 4s beginning with races 2 and 6.
