24 Winning Tickets in Pick Six

Trainer Juan Garcia and jockey Patrick Valenzuela played a big role in Hollywood Park’s pick six on Wednesday.

On an afternoon when there was a carry-over of $143,950, Garcia won twice with Gloriababy, a 6-1 longshot in the third, and with American All Star, at 5-1 in the sixth. Valenzuela doubled in the sequence with Autumn Accent, part of the favored entry in the fourth, and favored Pocketfullofpesos, who won for the fourth time in as many races at Hollywood Park in the seventh.

The other winners in the pick six were Greenbaypacker, who won for the second time in 22 races, and Lady Siphonica, a full sister to former Hollywood Futurity winner Siphonic, who won in her debut for trainer Doug O’Neill in the eighth race.

There were 24 tickets that isolated all six winners; each worth $24,892.

Valenzuela, who tops the rider standings at Hollywood Park, also won the first with 3-5 choice Beer Stien. Valenzuela, who resumed riding April 25 after a suspension, has 21 victories at the meet, seven more than runner-up Corey Nakatani.
