Pick 6 carryover of $161K into Wednesday’s card at Saratoga Race Course

by Ryan Martin

The Pick 6 on Wednesday will be bolstered by a $161,541 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved Sunday at Saratoga Race Course. 

The $1 Pick 6 returned $538 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly. 

Sunday’s sequence kicked off in Race 5 with Gerrymander [No. 3, $22.20] graduating at second asking in a six-furlong maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies. Jockey Joel Rosario engineered the winning trip for trainer Chad Brown.   

Hail To [No. 8, $43.60], a full sister to multiple Grade 1-winner Sadler’s Joy, lit up the tote board when breaking her maiden at second asking over the inner turf going 1 1/16 miles for trainer Tom Albertrani in Race 6. The 2-year-old daughter of Kitten’s Joy was piloted by jockey Ricardo Santana, Jr.  

Santana, Jr. struck gold yet again when piloting Montauk Daddy [No. 5, $7.30] to a second straight victory for trainer Rob Atras in a 5 ½-furlong starter allowance over the Mellon turf course in Race 7.  

Beau Liam [No. 1, $2.80] gave Santana, Jr. the hat trick in Race 8 when the son of Liam’s Map remained unbeaten in three starts, capturing a second level allowance tilt at 6 ½ furlongs over the main track. Trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, Beau Liam was the lone favorite to win in the sequence.  

Peter Brant’s Sifting Sands [No. 8, $18.80] notched a third career win for trainer Chad Brown, capturing the $120,000 Better Talk Now [Race 9] in the sequence’s penultimate leg. The son of Dubawi was ridden by Manny Franco.  

Rounding out the sequence in Race 10 was Newcal Stable’s New York homebred Chulainn [No. 6, 22.60], who scored her second lifetime win, taking a 1 1/16-mile starter allowance over the Mellon turf course for trainer Graham Motion with Rosario aboard.

Wednesday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 5 at 3:21 p.m. Eastern and includes the Grade 3, $150,000 With Anticipation in Race 9. First post on the 10-race card is 1:05 p.m. Eastern.
