The wager will return on Sunday, Nov. 8 and end on Sunday, Nov. 29, which is closing day of Churchill's fall meet.

After this Sunday, the wagers will take place on subsequent days when both tracks are racing. Those Cross Country Pick 5 days will be:

– Thursday, Nov.12 – Sunday, Nov. 15 (four days);
– Thursday, Nov. 19 – Sunday, Nov. 22 (four days); and.
– Friday, Nov. 27 – Sunday, Nov. 29 (three days).

Live coverage will be available with America's Day at the Races on FOX Sports and MSG Networks. Free Equibase past performances for all Cross Country Pick 5 sequences will be available for download at https://www.nyra.com/aqueduct/racing/cross-country-wagers.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Every day will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

The 2020 fall meet at Aqueduct Racetrack will begin on Friday, November 6 and continue through Sunday, December 6. Highlighted by the 32nd renewal of the Grade 1, $250,000 Cigar Mile on Saturday, December 5, the 18-day fall meet at Aqueduct features 29 stakes, including 11 graded events, worth $3.41 in purses.

Graded Stakes Winner Blended Citizen Retired From Racing; Stud Plans Pending

Sayjay Racing LLC, Greg Hall, and Brooke Hubbard's multiple graded stakes winner Blended Citizen has been retired from racing.

Bred by Ray Hanson, Blended Citizen is by Gone West's most underrated son, two-time Kentucky Oaks sire Proud Citizen, out of the multiple stakes-winning Langfuhr mare Langara Lass. This makes him a half-brother to stakes-winning millionaire Lookin At Lee, runner-up in the 2017 Kentucky Derby.

Blended Citizen was a classic contender himself after graded wins in the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks over Turfway Park's all-weather surface and a score in the G3 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park. He proved to be one of the most durable, well-traveled and versatile members of his generation. He raced at 10 tracks and remained a graded performer this year at age five, ultimately being awarded the Jan. 18 G3 Louisiana Stakes at Fair Grounds via disqualification.

Blended Citizen's first win came in November of his juvenile season over the Del Mar turf course where he defeated future Grade 1 winner River Boyne in a maiden special weight. He was purchased eight months earlier at the OBS March 2-Year-Old in Training sale after a sparkling work, commanding the highest price for a juvenile by his sire in 2017.

The Gone West sire-line is responsible for some of the most important stallions in North America; namely Speightstown and Quality Road. Blended Citizen is bred on the prolific Gone West/Langfuhr cross similar to leading Pennsylvania sire Uptowncharlybrown.

A stud deal is pending for Blended Citizen. He's cataloged as a stallion prospect in the upcoming Keeneland November auction with South Point Sales.
