Friday’s card at Saratoga Race Course will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $111,629 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Thursday’s 10-race card. 

The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,200 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

The sequence kicked off in Race 5 – a seven-furlong $20,000 maiden claimer for 3-years-old and upward – when the Kendrick Carmouche pilotedDisappearance [No. 10, $9.60] rallied to a three-length score for trainer Robert Falcone, Jr.

Arnmore Thoroughbreds and Even Keel Thoroughbreds’ Gala Brand [No. 1, $7.80], trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott and ridden by Jose Ortiz, defeated males in the featured Race 7 – the Grade 3, $175,000 With Anticipation for juveniles going 1 1/16 over the inner turf. 

Trainer Derek Ryan saddled the Javier Castellano-piloted Cicciobello [No. 3, $6.40] to victory in Race 8 – a one-mile allowance tilt for New York-breds 3-years-old and upward over the main track. 

In Race 9 – a seven-furlong starter allowance for 3-year-olds and upward over the main track – the Jamie Begg-trained Locke and Key [No. 8, $36.40]sprung a massive upset with Ricardo Santana, Jr. in the irons. 

With four horses covered in Race 10 – a $35,000 claimer for fillies and mares 3-years-old and upward going 1 1/16 miles over the inner turf – the Jimmy Ferraro-trained and co-owned More Mango [No. 3, $90.50] picked up a third lifetime win. Jaime Torres was aboard for the 44-1 score.
