Pete Escalante couldn’t even find a seat at Del Mar Race Track Saturday, but the 62-year-old Rancho Penasquitos resident will remember standing in Section 16 for the rest of his life.
He will also remember his six winners: Earthdust (paid $17), Select A Song ($32.80), Doctor’s Tribute ($4), Julie The Flapper ($19.80), Breakfast Table ($13) and Sharrood ($7.80).
Those six winners--in races two through seven--gave Escalante a Del Mar record $555,609.50 Pick Six ticket. The previous Del Mar mark was $202,261.80, set Aug. 7,1985.
