by Keith McCalmont

The Pick 6 on Saturday will be bolstered by a $44,261 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved Friday at Belmont Park.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,475 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly. 

Friday’s sequence kicked off in Race 5 with Anador [No. 1, $15.80] graduating in a one-mile Widener turf tilt for juvenile fillies under Dylan Davis for trainer Christophe Clement.

Hagler [No. 5, $14.20] showed good punch down the lane to notch a marvelous maiden win in Race 6, a 6 1/2-furlong sprint for juveniles over Big Sandy. Jorge Vargas, Jr. piloted the winner for Rudy Rodriguez.

Grudge [No. 4, $39.40] provided Davis his second win in the sequence and third score on the card, capturing a six-furlong inner turf sprint in Race 7 for trainer Chris Englehart.

Manny Franco guided the Gustavo Rodriguez-trained Chloe Rose [No. 6, $19.80] to victory in Race 8, a 6 1/2-furlong sprint for fillies and mares; which was followed by an impressive victory by Value Proposition [No. 11, $3.70], with Luis Saez up for Chad Brown, in the featured $100,000 Oyster Bay, a seven-furlong Widener turf sprint for 3-year-olds and up in Race 9.

With the carryover already guaranteed, Slow Crossing [No. 3, $10.20]powered clear to win the finale with Saez up for Rudy Rodriguez in a six-furlong maiden claiming sprint for New York-bred juvenile fillies.

Saturday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 5 at 2:43 p.m. Eastern. First post on the 10-race Empire Showcase Day card is 12:35 p.m.
