Shenandoah Downs to unveil pick six wagering this summer
Shenandoah Downs in Hegerstown Maryland will launch a pick six pool during its July 5 meeting, adopting a Big Bonanza and Little Bonanza structure with a 70 percent payout to top selectors and 30 percent to next best, fully licensed and supervised by the West Virginia State Racing Commission. The system uses IBM sorting machines and perforated cards, with Pottinger of El Commandante Puerto Rico guiding setup after studying Lincoln Downs and others. Bald Eagle earns headlines with a Metropolitan Handicap victory, extending a streak of seven wins in 12 starts and boosting his earnings to $515,407, as he stands 17 hands tall and rewrites mile speed expectations.
