Brilliant Blue Wins Feature

With Brilliant Blue, the longest shot in the field at 24-1, winning the next-to-last race in Wednesday’s pick six at Santa Anita, there were only two tickets with six winners and they were worth $485,636 apiece. Brilliant Blue, beating Prince Wild by 1 3/4 lengths, was winless in 10 starts last year.

Ridden by Alex Solis, Santa Anita’s leading jockey, Brilliant Blue won for the first time in 14 months, giving trainer Wiz Murdoch his first victory at Santa Anita.
