by Keith McCalmont

Saturday’s nine-race card at Aqueduct Racetrack will be bolstered by a double Pick 6 carryover of $98,633 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Friday. 

The $1 Pick 6 returned $22,500.50 to those who selected 5-of-6 horses correctly.

 Friday’s sequence began in Race 4 with Pendolino [No. 8, $81.50] upsetting a one-turn mile claiming event for older fillies and mares as the longest shot on the board. Oscar Gomez engineered the upset for owner-trainer Eduardo Jones.

Write the Check [No. 1A, $22.80] surged to victory under Luis Rodriguez Castro for trainer Bruce Brown in Race 5, a one-turn mile maiden claiming event for state-bred sophomore fillies.

The parade of longshots continued in Race 6 with Forty Two Ace [No. 6, $30.20] splashing to victory in a one-mile starter allowance for older horses under Mike Luzzi for owner-trainer Charlton Baker and was followed by Gallina [No. 7, $12] rallying to win a starter allowance for older fillies and mares in Race 7 for Trevor McCarthy and owner-trainer Jimmy Bond. 

Mystic Night [No. 6, $5] won as the 3-2 mutuel favorite in Race 8, a nine-furlong allowance optional claimer for older horses with Manny Franco in the irons for four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown.

With the double Pick 6 carryover already confirmed, Incontrovertible [No. 10, $12.20] closed out the sequence in Race 9 for jockey Carol Cedeno and trainer Edward Allard in the one-turn mile maiden claiming event for older state-bred fillies and mares. 

Saturday’s Pick 6 will kick off in Race 4 at 2:18 p.m. Eastern and includes the Grade 3, $250,000 Withers in Race 8. First post on the nine-race card is 12:50 p.m.
