Buoyed by Sunday’s closing-day Rainbow Pick 6 pool of nearly $8 million, Santa Anita posted increases in both on-track and all-sources handle for its 22-day Autumn Meet.

Overall handle totaled $206.7 million for the stand, accounting for a 7% hike in average daily handle from last year. Of that total, $23.7 million was wagered on-track, a 3% increase per day over 2017. Last year’s meet, which spanned 19 days, totaled $167.3 million in all-sources handle and $19.8 million in on-track take.

Flavien Prat, who swept the closing day graded stakes aboard Vasilika (Skipshot) in the GII Goldikova S. and River Boyne (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) in the GII Twilight Derby, topped the meet’s rider standings with 20, two better than resurgent Rafael Bejarano. Jerry Hollendorfer and Peter Miller tied for the trainer’s title with 15 wins apiece, one clear of Doug O’Neill’s 14.
