OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Thursday’s card at Belmont at the Big A will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $33,745 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Sunday’s nine-race program.
The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,249.50 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.
Sunday’s sequence kicked off in Race 4 with D’s a Rock [No. 4, $10.60] graduating in a state-bred maiden claiming sprint with Katie Davis up for trainer Chad Summers.
Another graduation followed in Race 5 as the Dylan Davis-piloted Pookie [No. 6, $16.60] took a turf maiden for conditioner Tom Morley, one race before Scythian [No. 8, $24.20] earned a berth into the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf with a win in the Grade 2, $200,000 Miss Grillo with Junior Alvarado at the helm for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott in Race 6.
Race 7 saw Three B’s [No. 10, $7.20] break his maiden in a 6 1/2-furlong state-bred maiden sprint with Ricardo Santana, Jr. in the irons for conditioner Horacio De Paz. The day’s third and final stakes race, the Grade 3, $175,000 Matron, followed in Race 8 as Dylan Davis rallied Abientot [No. 10, $12.20] to victory for Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse.
With the carryover already ensured heading into the Race 9 finale, Flavien Prat guided Unit Economics [No. 4, $5.60*] to victory in a one-mile turf allowance for four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown to close out the sequence.
Thursday’s Pick 6 will begin in Race 3 at approximately 1:41 p.m. Eastern. First post on the eight-race card is 12:40 p.m.
