by Keith McCalmont

The Pick 6 on Friday will be bolstered by a $44,798 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Opening Day of the Belmont Park fall meet

The $1 Pick 6 returned $574 to bettors who selected 4-of-6 winners correctly.

Thursday’s Pick 6 kicked off in Race 4 with O’Gotten Girl [No. 1, $11] winning a six-furlong maiden special weight for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up on the Widener turf for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.

Amore Fire [No. 1, $16.60] prevailed in Race 5, a six-furlong maiden claiming sprint for juvenile fillies on Big Sandy. Hall of Famer Javier Castellano engineered the winning trip for conditioner Wayne Potts.

In Race 6, jockey Kendrick Carmouche guided the Brittany Russell-conditioned Adelaide Miss [No. 8, $26.20] to a narrow score over Evvie Jets [No. 9] in a one-mile allowance optional-claiming event on the Widener turf for sophomore fillies.

Alcools [post 2, $10] won Race 7, a $40,000 claiming sprint for 3-year-olds and up, under jockey Jose Ortiz for trainer Chris Englehart; and Temple [No. 2, $16.20] continued a difficult sequence by winning Race 8, a 10-furlong inner turf allowance optional-claiming event for 3-year-olds and up.

The carryover was already confirmed heading into the Race 9 finale with four horses – Mill Stone Creek (No. 3), Elegant Laoban (No. 6), Angeloverthepulpit (No. 7) and Killoean Rose (No. 12) – uncovered in the Late Pick 5.

Mondeuse [No. 2] set the pace in the 1 1/16-mile maiden claiming tilt on the Widener turf for state-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up, but Constitutionalrage [No. 1, $18.40] enjoyed a perfect ground-saving trip under Jose Lezcano before angling out to launch her winning bid in the stretch run for trainer Bruce Brown.

The Late Pick 5 returned $20,353.50 on the $0.50 wager.

Friday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 4 at 2:34 p.m. Eastern and includes the $100,000 Allied Forces in Race 7 and the $100,000 Christiecat in Race 8. First post on the nine-race card is 1:00 p.m. Eastern.
