Pick 6 carryover of $83K into Thursday’s card at Belmont Park
by Keith McCalmont
Thursday’s card at Belmont Park will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $83,540 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Sunday’s nine-race program.
The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,392 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.
Sunday’s sequence kicked off in Race 4 with a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight captured by the regally-bred Saint Tapit [No. 1, $5.80], who graduated at first asking under Luis Saez for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. The 3-year-old Tapit colt is out of Havre de Grace, who earned 2011 Horse of the Year and Champion Older Mare honors.
New York-bred Theodora Grace [No. 1, $11.60], trained by Tom Albertrani, arrived in time under Dylan Davis to capture Race 5, an open seven-furlong Widener turf claiming sprint ahead of an impressive maiden coup for Accretive [No. 8, $4.50] in Race 6 sprinting 6 1/2-furlongs over the main track under Irad Ortiz, Jr. for trainer Chad Brown.
Runningwscissors [No. 4, $44.60] lit up the tote board in Race 7, rallying to victory under Saez for trainer John Kirby in a six-furlong inner turf sprint for state-breds 3-and-up. Bank Sting [No. 7, $3.60] won the featured Dancin Renee with ease as the post-time favorite under Joel Rosario for conditioner John Terranova.
With half of the 12-horse field covered in the final leg in Race 9, first-time starter Vindatude [No. 3, $63.50] triggered the carryover with a prominent effort under Manny Franco for trainer George Weaver in a state-bred maiden claimer for fillies and mares 3-and-up.
Thursday’s Pick 6 will kick off in Race 4 at 4:40 p.m. Eastern and includes a trio of challenging turf races. First post on the nine-race card is 3:05 p.m.
