The Pick 6 for Thursday, December 30 will be bolstered by a $49,302 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Sunday at Aqueduct.
The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,166 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.
Sunday’s Pick 6 sequence kicked off in Race 4 when Jorge Vargas, Jr. engineered a winning trip aboard the Michelle Giangiulio-trained Alpine Queen [No. 7, $9.40], to earn a second victory in eight starts for a $25,000 tag.
Reigning Chick [No. 12, $34.40] made her career debut a winning one at seven furlongs in Race 5, going wire-to-wire under Kendrick Carmouche for trainer Orlando Noda.
The shortest price in the sequence took place in Race 6, when Maiden Beauty [No. 5, $5.00] earned her eighth career win in 34 lifetime starts. Carmouche piloted the daughter of Revolutionary for trainer Robert Falcone, Jr.
Carmouche completed a hat trick when guiding Michael Dubb’s Chateau [No. 6, $5.20] to victory in the $100,000 Gravesend [Race 7] for trainer Rob Atras. The son of Flat Out earned his first triumph since capturing the Grade 3 Tom Fool in March at the Big A.
Forewarned [No. 9, $86], owned and trained by Uriah St. Lewis, lit up the tote board with a late-rallying victory under Dexter Haddock, to capture the $125,000 Queens County [Race 8].
With only three horses covered in the Pick 6 to close out the sequence in Race 9, Sandro the Great [No. 5, $23.80] defeated his New York-bred counterparts for a $40,000 tag, earning his first victory in 11 lifetime starts. Patrick Quick saddled the Gallagher’s Stud homebred, who was ridden by Benjamin Hernandez.
The Pick 6 will return on Thursday, December 30 when live racing resumes at the Big A following the Holiday break.
