The $141K win in 1993 was pretty much total luck and a poorly constructed $192 ticket made only because we won a bunch of money in the early double and were looking for some action. The only interesting thing about it is that it is one of the only times I remember a " simulcast " race being part of the Pick-6, as the last leg was a simulcast of the P-Classic from Del Mar. Bertrando won as part of a 3-1 three horse entry...defeating 2-5 Best Pal. I actually knew three other people who were alive to Best Pal but, obviously, no one used the Bertrando entry ( which incidentally finished second as well ).
The one last year, which I split with friends, was ( I think ) a $528 play ( or very close to that ). That is on the high end of plays for me. I actually don't play the Pick-6 that often, maybe a few times a month, and have done OK with it over the years. I hit on for around $10K earlier this year ( I think on Good Friday ) and another for just over $2K and both plays involved investments of around $200.
