Saturday’s nine-race card will feature a Pick 6 carryover of $28,207 as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Friday at Aqueduct Racetrack.
A $1 Pick 6 ticket returned $207 for the selection of 5 of 6 winners correctly.
Friday’s sequence began in Race 3 when My Roxy Girl [No. 5, $4.90] romped in a seven-furlong claimer for state-bred fillies and mares under Jose Ortiz to give trainer Juan Vazquez his second of four wins on the card.
Jockey Jalon Samuel earned a riding double by guiding Papa Smooth [No. 9, $10] to a claiming sprint victory in Race 4 for trainer Orlando Noda and Always Charming [No. 2, $12.20] to a maiden score for trainer Cleveland Johnson in Race 5, a six-furlong sprint for state-bred 2-year-olds.
The Horacio Depaz-trained Amity Island [No. 2, $17.20] got her head down just in time to win Race 6 under Kendrick Carmouche, a one-mile allowance for New York-bred fillies and mares 3 years old and up. Ruben Silvera guided Repo Rocks [No. 3, $7.20] to a flying finish to secure a 6 ½-furlong allowance win in Race 7 to give Vazquez another victory.
With only two horses covered in the finale [No. 6, Bohemian Ruby; No. 8, Bail Out the Bank] in Race 8, El Mayor [No. 9, $7] gave Vazquez a late double with an impressive one-mile state-bred maiden claiming win under Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano.
Saturday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 4 at 1:43 p.m. Eastern and includes the featured $100,000 Garland of Roses in Race 8. First post on the nine-race card is 12:20 p.m.

In the eyes of Hall of Fame owner and breeder John Hettinger, there was no greater importance in the breeding and campaigning of racehorses than ensuring them with a proper and lifelong retirement once their racing careers came to a close.
