Friday’s card at Saratoga Race Course will feature a $1 Pick 6 carryover of $123,924 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Thursday’s 10-race program.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $20,654 for bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Thursday’s sequence kicked off in Race 5 with Top Envoy [No. 2, $71] graduating at first asking under Hall of Famer Javier Castellano for trainer Leah Gyarmati in a 1 1/16-mile state-bred maiden claimer for 3-year-olds and up.

Donegal Surges [No. 6, $7] followed by also graduating at first asking in Race 6, sprinting clear to a sharp score in a juvenile maiden special weight for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher with Jose Ortiz in the irons. Claytnthelionheart [No. 6, $8.60] rallied late to get the win for trainer Philip Bauer and jockey Julien Leparoux in Race 7, a nine-furlong claimer for 3-year-olds and up.

The Junior Alvarado-piloted Len Lo Lady [No. 4, $22.20] surged to victory in Race 8 for trainer Dale Romans one race before Poppy Flower [No. 1, $10.40] closed in time to secure the featured $150,000 Galway for Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott.

With the carryover already confirmed, Saratoga Chrome [No. 12, $20.40] captured the Race 10 finale with a strong stretch run under Joel Rosario for trainer Michelle Nevin in a one-mile inner turf maiden for state-bred fillies and mares, 3-years-old and up.
