The 2012 Kentucky Derby brought a huge payday to the Pick 6 play at Churchill Downs, thanks not only to the win of I'll Have Another in the Kentucky Derby (the 11th race of the day at Churchill), but a collection of upset wins. A $2 Pick 6 play that hit all six winners of today's races correctly will pay out $675,148.00 to any bettor lucky enough to hit it.
A Pick 6 play picks the winner of six races -- bets can start as cheap as $2, but bettors may pick as many horses as they'd like to win each race at a higher cost. I'll Have Another went off with 15-1 odds, far from the favorites Bodemeister (4-1) and Union Rags (5-1). Combined with the win of Little Mike, a a 12/1 winner in the G1-Woodford Turf Classic, the Pick 6 payout surged.
I'll Have Another's relatively long odds also made all the other 2012 Kentucky Derby payouts lucrative.
