by Mary Eddy

A Pick 6 carryover of $46,486 will bolster Friday’s eight-race card after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Sunday at Aqueduct Racetrack.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $166.75 to those who selected 5-of-6 horse correctly on Sunday. 

Thursday’s sequence began in Race 4 when Double Shot [No. 2, $5.10] scored a claiming victory for trainer David Donk with Eric Cancel in the irons by 4 1/2 lengths. 

The Marcelo Arenas-trained Brew Pub [No. 4, $9.50] took down an allowance in his first start against winners with Raul Mena in Race 5 up before Peruvian Boy [No. 5, $4.80] with Jose Gomez aboard earned his third career win in Race 6 by a nose for trainer Jeffrey Englehart. 

Trainer Gustavo Rodriguez earned his fourth win of the Aqueduct winter meet when Jose Lezcano piloted Ok Honey [No. 1, $4.30] to victory in Race 7, one race before Manny Franco guided the Robert Falcone, Jr.-trained Kept Waiting [No. 2, $6.90] to victory in the $100,000 Broadway in Race 8.

With only one horse uncovered in Race 9 to complete the sequence, Prince of Joy [No. 5, $63] provided an upset win to secure the carryover. Jacqueline Davis piloted the winner for Ricardo Legall. 

Friday's Pick 6 sequence at Aqueduct will begin in Race 3 at 1:48 p.m. Eastern. First post on the eight-race card is 12:50 p.m. There is no live racing on Thursday, February 17 to accommodate for the President’s Day card on Monday, February 21.
