Here's the betting menu for Santa Anita's winter meet

With big fields and huge wagering pools expected for Santa Anita’s winter meet opening day Monday, fans will be offered a comprehensive betting menu that will include a $1 million guaranteed payout in the track’s 20-cent single-ticket Rainbow Pick 6, providing there is a single-ticket winner.

With 11 races on tap, including six graded stakes, the opening day Rainbow Pick 6 will comprise races 6-11. Early first post time on opening day is at 2 p.m. EST and assigned post time for race 6 is at 4:30 p.m. EST.

In addition to an early and late 50-cent Pick 4, the opening day menu will include a special 50-cent mid-Pick 4, which will cover races 5-8. Santa Anita will again offer a takeout of 15.43 percent on all $2 win, place and show wagers.

Santa Anita’s early 50-cent Pick 5, which features a 14 percent takeout, is also included in the meet's betting menu, as is a 50-cent late Pick 5.

On opening day, Santa Anita’s 50-cent early Pick 4 will start with race 2. The mid-Pick Four will start with race 5, and the 50-cent late Pick 4 will start with Race 8.

With a jackpot provision in place, the 20-cent single-ticket Rainbow Pick 6 requires a perfect single ticket on any given race day to key the jackpot payoff. Again, on opening day, Santa Anita will guarantee a $1 million payoff to any such single-ticket winner.

Santa Anita also will continue to offer its $5 Golden Hour double and the $1 Golden Hour Pick 4. Both include late races from Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields and offer fans a 15 percent takeout.

Players also will be offered $1 exactas, $2 rolling daily doubles, 50-cent rolling Pic Pick 3s, as well as 10-cent superfectas on all races with a minimum of six runners.

The $1 Super High 5 also is available in all races with seven or more declared starters. There is a 100 percent payout on all tickets selecting five winners, no consolation and a 100 percent carryover to the next race, including to the next day, if applicable.

Although estimates vary, with clear skies and good weather predicted for Monday, Santa Anita’s opening day pari-mutuel handle could exceed $20 million.

Beginning Saturday, Jan. 7, Santa Anita and Gulfstream Park will offer a new $1 Coast to Coast Pick 5 with a 15 percent takeout. This wager will be offered every Saturday and Sunday beginning in January and on all Saturdays and Sundays throughout the upcoming meet.
