Friday's Pick 6 sequence kicked off in Race 4 with a win from Aristide Maillol [No. 6, $7.88] in a six-furlong state-bred maiden claimer with Jose Lezcano aboard for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. 

Jockey Flavien Prat navigated the Chad Brown-trained Iron Sight [No. 4, $4.16*] to victory next in a 1 3/16-mile turf maiden in Race 5. The following race saw Jaime Rodriguez pilot the Horacio De Paz-trained English Castle [No. 4, $24.18] to score at odds of 11-1 in a 1 1/16-mile turf allowance for New York-breds in Race 6.
 
In Race 7, a 6 1/2-furlong claimer, Ricardo Santana, Jr. rode Sebastianthe First [No. 9, $19.66] to victory for trainer Jose Delgado. In Race 8, a 1 3/16-mile starter optional claimer on turf, Carc Brothers [No. 4, $3.34*] improved to 3-for-3 overall for trainer Rob Atras. 
 
With just 3-of-9 horses covered heading into the Race 9 finale, a 1 1/16-mile turf maiden claimer, Levi Warrior [No. 3, $25.02] successfully closed up the rail under Hall of Famer John Velazquez for trainer Mark Hennig, triggering the carryover.
