by Keith McCalmont

The Pick 6 on Wednesday will be bolstered by a $145,196 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved Sunday at Saratoga Race Course.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $2,104 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Sunday’s sequence kicked off in Race 5 with Gimmick [No. 3, $26.60]graduating at third asking in a six-furlong maiden special weight for juvenile fillies. Tyler Gaffalione engineered the winning trip for Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen.

Write This Down [No. 1, $6.40], the 2-1 mutuel favorite piloted by Manny Franco for trainer Rob Atras, prevailed in Race 6, a 5 ½-furlong Mellon turf sprint for New York-bred maiden claiming fillies 3-years-old and up.

In Race 7, yet another lukewarm favorite, Mira Mission [No. 5, $8.30], got the job done at odds of 3-1 under Jose Lezcano from trainer Tom Bush in a 1 1/16-mile optional-claiming event for sophomores on the inner turf.

Customerexperience [No. 1, 19.40] upset Race 8 under Dylan Davis for trainer Mike Miceli in a seven-furlong claiming sprint for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up, ahead of a thrilling finish in the featured $120,000 Galway won by Star Devine [No. 10, $17] in a 5 1/2-furlong Mellon turf sprint for sophomore fillies.

With only Sengekontacket [No. 10] covered in the Pick 6 finale in Race 10, Mirabell Mei [No. 5, $10.40] prevailed over Alpha Babe [No. 2] in a 1 1/16-mile claiming event on the inner turf for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up. Jose Lezcano piloted the winner for trainer John Terranova.

Wednesday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 5 at 3:21 p.m. Eastern and includes the $120,000 Bolton Landing in Race 9. First post on the 10-race card is 1:05 p.m. Eastern.
