Pick 6 carryover of $138K on Friday at Belmont Park

by Keith McCalmont

Friday’s card at Belmont Park will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $138,215 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Tuesday’s 10-race card.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $9,214 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Tuesday’s sequence kicked off with a mild upset as Jose Ortiz guided Classic Mark [No. 4, $15.20] to victory for trainer Linda Rice, besting heavily favored Mistical Curlin in the 1 1/16-mile starter allowance for 3-year-olds and up.

Flavien Prat, who won five races on the card, posted a prominent score in Race 6 aboard the Brendan Walsh-trained Heaven Street [No. 6, $8.90] in a seven-furlong Widener turf test for older horses. 

Be Up [No. 3, $17.60] held off Myriskyaffair to capture Race 7, a 10-furlong inner turf test for fillies and mares with Manny Franco aboard for conditioner Mike Maker one race before I’m Buzzy [No. 5, $27.20] upset a six-furlong claiming sprint older fillies and mares with Dylan Davis up for trainer Chris Englehart in Race 8.

Prat returned to the winner’s circle in Race 9 after guiding the George Weaver-trained King Moonracer [No. 9, $19.80] to his second career win in the six-furlong state-bred allowance sprint for 3-year-olds and up.

With the carryover already confirmed in the Race 10 finale, a 10-furlong inner turf test for fillies and mares, Prat secured his fifth win on the card by guiding Highland Grace [No. 5, $8.20] to victory for trainer Barclay Tagg.

Friday’s Pick 6 will kick off in Race 5 at 3:09 p.m. Eastern and includes the Grade 3, $250,000 Manila in Race 9. First post for the 10-race card is 1:05 p.m.
