With a carryover of $56,415 from Wednesday, $338,435 was wagered Thursday in the Pick Six for a total pool of $394,850.

 

The feature race, a six-furlong starter allowance sprint, was won by 8-5 favored All Run, piloted by Mario Gutierrez. All Run, a gelded son of Flower Alley, tallied by three lengths and paid $5.40. Swiss Cheese was second and Gold Treasure third.
