Just like the old Four Seasons song but with a month and year change. "Oh what a night, early October 1993" (changed from late December 1963).
Today l found a photocopy of the winning Pick 6 result whilst Spring cleaning. I'm assuming it was staged at Alexandra Park. As a very small punter l was probably thrilled with the $1219.50 for 50 cents return at the time, but the winning horses involved is what stands out now.
Leg 1; 7 But Of Me
Leg 2; 5 Christopher Vance
Leg 3; 11 Victor Supreme
Leg 4; 9 Camberley Octane
Leg 5; 10 Sole Patron
Leg 6; 9 Montana Vance
It's been a long time since we've seen a winner's list containing that much talent out of Alexandra Park.
The last 5 legs were all won by the Sub (I'm guessing I probably took 'the field' in the first leg along with the 5 favourites), so at $1219.50 for 50 cents, I'm assuming the first leg winner must have been a bit of an outsider?
It was in the days of the Pick 6 having a concession pool (Any 5) too. The Pick 6 pool was $150,000 (123 winners), with the $27969.10 Concession pool paying out $9.90 for 'Any 5', 2823 times.
