$64K PICK 6 CARRYOVER, GUARANTEED LATE PICK 4 HIGHLIGHT SATURDAY CARD

 

ELMONT, N.Y. – Sansannah's 39-1 upset in Friday's finale at Belmont Park triggered a $64,482 Pick 6 carryover into Saturday's card, which features a pair of graded stakes on the turf.

 

Saturday's Pick 6 spans races 5-10 and is scheduled to get underway at 2:58 p.m. The Grade 3, $150,000 Athenia for fillies and mares serves as the third leg of the Pick 6 sequence. In the fifth leg, Boisterous seeks his second straight score in Grade 3, $150,000 Knickerbocker.

 

The card also includes a $300,000 Guaranteed Late Pick 4 covering races 7-10. The Late Pick 4 is a 50 cent minimum wager in which the bettor must correctly pick all four winners, with The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) to supplement the difference if the total wagering pool is less than $300,000.

 

Those who wish to play the Pick 6 can place their bets at Belmont or Aqueduct Racetrack, or through NYRA Rewards, which offers Internet, On-Track, Phone, and Mobile wagering.
