In deep stretch it looked like it was over. Neutrality had it. But, Brahms Tudor and Saul Arias had other plans. Neutrality was clear by a couple near the 1/16 pole. The Pick Six was nailed. Hearts stopped. Babies screamed. Women clutched their purses.
Lots of bettors had Neutrality, one of the favorites, in the final leg of their Pick Six at Hollywood Park on Thursday. Lots. And with a 1/16 to go she had it won.
People were counting their money. Double checking their tickets and trying to contain their excitement. It was over.
But the finish line couldn’t come up quick enough for the 12 and Jon Court.
Brahms Tudor, 25-1, stalked the pace and found herself behind a wall of horses at the top of the stretch. Arias looked for room and eventually found some. After some maneuvering, she came up on Neutrality with 50 yards to go. She was on the inside, gaining steadily, but the finish line was near.
And…she nailed Neutrality at the wire on a head bob.
It was one heck of a dramatic Pick 6 carryover race. Tomorrow’s carryover is almost half a million.
