Sunday’s Pick 6 will be bolstered by a $61,096 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack.
The $1 Pick 6 returned $20,365.50 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.
Saturday’s Pick 6 sequence kicked off in Race 5 when Dylan Davis engineered a winning trip aboard the Ray Handal-trained Ricky’s Revenge [No. 9, $12], who earned his first victory in four starts for a $30,000 tag.
Harrel Ventures’ Chanceux [No. 1, $3.90] broke his maiden at second asking for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher in Race 6, going six furlongs over the outer turf.
Veteran conditioner Mitchell Friedman saddled Willaway [No. 4, $94.50] to her first triumph since February 2020 when taking Race 7, a 6 ½-furlong main track allowance optional claimer for New York-bred fillies and mares. Heman Harkie piloted the 5-year-old daughter of Dublin.
Jay Em Ess Stable’s Happy Medium [No. 5, $2.90] was the shortest price in the sequence when defeating winners going six furlongs in Race 8 for trainer Michelle Nevin. Manny Franco is now 2-for-2 aboard the son of Runhappy.
Bruno Schickedanz’s Mandate [No. 12, $91.50] upset graded stakes winner Tell Your Daddy to capture the $150,000 Artie Schiller in Race 9 going one mile over the inner turf. Pennsylvania-based rider Andrew Wolfsont engineered the winning trip for trainer Robert Johnston.
Closing out the sequence in Race 10 was Sunny Crest Farm’s Alicia’s Way [No. 8, $32.80], who made her third career start a winning one for a $40,000 tag going 6 ½ furlongs over the main track. Eric Cancel, leading rider at the 2020 Big A winter meet, guided the Laoban juvenile filly for trainer Chris Englehart.
Sunday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 4 at 1:46 p.m. Eastern and includes the $150,000 Winter Memories for 3-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles over the inner turf in Race 8. First post on the nine-race card is 12:20 p.m.
