In this special episode of the In The Money Players' Podcast, Mikey P welcomes Frank Scatoni of Double Trouble Live to discuss the $30,000 carryover Sunset Six pick six at Santa Anita on Thursday racing. The conversation centers on the growing movement around low takeout, high minimum wagers—like the $3 all turf pick three and $5 late double—designed to empower retail horse players by reducing track takeout and creating a more level playing field. Frank emphasizes the importance of community, ticket construction, and strategic handicapping in these formats, highlighting how they foster engagement and fairness. The duo then dive into detailed handicapping for each leg of the Sunset Six, analyzing speed, class, trip, and hidden angles—such as horses that move too early into a fast pace and then fade. Frank shares his top picks, including sneaky long shots and horses with strong connections like Jeff Mullins, while Mikey offers his own insights and skepticism toward favorites. They also discuss the strategic value of combining these wagers with the late pick three and late double to maximize returns through diversified ticket construction. The episode closes with excitement for the upcoming Derby week and a call to action for listeners to participate in the carryover pool.
Low takeout, high minimum wagers like the Sunset Six create a fairer, more engaging environment for retail horse players.
Use hidden angles—like horses that move too early into a fast pace and then fade—to find value in tough fields.
Jeff Mullins' horses have a 42% win rate when returning after a previous win, making them strong candidates in key races.
Treat the Sunset Six like an A/B/C ticket with multiple coverage rather than a traditional parlay to maximize value.
Jockeys like Pereira and riders like Giroux can be key differentiators, especially on long shots and top contenders.

Introducing the Sunset Six & Low Takeout Revolution
“These low takeout, high minimum wagers are perfect for us. I hope... there's more.”
Handicapping Race 1: The 17-5 Claimer at Gulfstream

Race 2: State Breds on Synthetic Track – The Hidden Gems
The duo breaks down the second leg—a state-bred turf sprint at Gulfstream—where the favorite, Bronze Bullet, is favored, but Frank identifies Skipping Stars and Two Fear as dangerous long shots based on tactical angles and jockey matchups.
Race 3: The Turf Mile – Stella Bonada vs. Nos Damas
“A horse who moves too early into a really fast pace and then flattens out... that's one of my favorite angles.”
Race 4: The Short Field & Mullins’ Winning Streak
“When Jeff Mullins wins the previous race and comes back, they win 42% of the time right back.”
“When Jeff Mullins wins the previous race and comes back, they win 42% of the time right back.”
“A horse who moves too early into a really fast pace and then flattens out... that's one of my favorite angles.”
“These are played more like an A, B, C slash ticket where you can have multiple coverage and you don't have to whack it a bunch of times.”
