Sunday Pick 6 At Saratoga Bolstered By Saturday Carryover

Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Sunday’s Pick 6 will be bolstered by a $257,811 carryover as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $1,014 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Saturday’s sequence kicked off in Race 6 with Midnight Worker [No. 1, $22.20] graduating at first asking under Luis Saez for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher in a six-furlong maiden event for 2-year-olds.

Peter Brant’s Sifting Sands [No. 3, $58] posted the biggest price of the sequence in Race 7, capturing a turf allowance under Manny Franco for four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown. Brant and Brown combined again in Race 8 as Rastafara [No. 3, $7.10] secured the win in a one-mile inner-turf tilt under Irad Ortiz, Jr.

Caramel Swirl [No. 6, $4.30] won as the post-time favorite in Race 9, capturing the seven-furlong allowance with a perfect trip from Junior Alvarado for Hall of Fame conditioner Bill Mott.

Ortiz, Jr. notched his second win of the sequence, rallying outside rivals aboard Caravel [No. 1, $4] to win the Grade 3, $200,000 Caress in Race 10 in impressive fashion for trainer, breeder, and co-owner Elizabeth Merryman.

In the Race 11 finale, Mike’s Girl [No. 10, $19] staved off Cara’s Dreamer [No. 1], who was also uncovered in the sequence, clinching the carryover in the 1 1/16-mile inner-turf event.

Sunday’s Pick 6 kicks off in Race 5 at 3:21 p.m. Eastern and includes the $200,000 Grade 3 Shuvee for older fillies and mares in Race 9. First post on the 10-race card is 1:05 p.m. Eastern.
