$251,589 Carryover In Sunday’s Pick 6 At Saratoga

Sunday's card at Saratoga Race Course will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $251,589 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Saturday's 12-race program.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $27,954 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

The sequence kicked off in Race 7 with the Manny Franco-piloted General Partner [No. 3, $9.30] graduating impressively at second asking for four-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Chad Brown in a seven-furlong maiden special weight for 2-year-olds.

Race 8 saw the New York-bred Thin White Duke [No. 3, $20.40] run down his rivals in deep stretch under Jose Lezcano to score against open company in the $150,000 Harvey Pack, a 5 1/2-furlong Mellon turf sprint for older horses, for trainer David Donk. The upsets continued in Race 9 when the Dana Saul-trained Missing Fortune [No. 3, $35.60] cruised to a six-furlong state-bred filly and mare allowance score under Keiber Coa

The biggest price in the sequence came in Race 10, a one-mile inner turf allowance for 3-year-olds and up, when the Robertino Diodoro trainee Drakon [No. 13, $44] prevailed over Fredo in a thrilling photo finish under Ricardo Santana, Jr., one race before another photo finish in the day's featured Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup [Race 11] that saw Bright Future [No. 8, $9.50] notch his first stakes triumph for Hall of Famers Todd Pletcher and Javier Castellano

With just two horses covered in the final leg [Race 12], the Eddie Persaud-trained Dream Road [No. 3, $25.60] triggered the carryover with win in a state-bred 1 1/16-mile maiden claimer for fillies and mares over the turf with Ruben Silvera in the irons.

Sunday's Pick 6 will kick off in Race 5 at 2:52 p.m. Eastern. First post for the 10-race card, which features the Grade 1 Spinaway in Race 9, is 12:40 p.m.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: Seeing ‘Red’ In The Dueling Grounds Oaks

The elite Kentucky Downs meet rolls on, featuring some of the nation's largest purses and field sizes, and one of the most attractive wagering menus on the racing calendar.

The Paulick Report is back with another season of Longshot Look to help you get the most out of one of North America's premier turf meets.

For each card of the seven-day meet, J.D. Fox will single out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.

On Sunday's card, Fox zeroes in on Race 10, the Dueling Grounds Oaks: a 1 5/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies. His 12-1 horse to watch will try to take advantage of her distance-laden pedigree and a slight step back in class to hopefully ring the bell at a price.

In the event of inclement weather around Franklin, Ky., we've introduced J.D.'s “Scratch Saver” pick to increase the chances of the host helping you find a winner, whether they're a longshot or not.

His Scratch Saver for Sunday's card comes in Race 8, where he'll be eyeing #8 Strand of Gold, who is 10-1 on the Morning Line. Strand of Gold broke her maiden impressively in March and needed the first-up effort off a five-month layoff last time at Saratoga Race Course. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. hits just shy of 20 percent with second starts off similar layoffs, and jockey Edgard Zayas and Joseph hit at 25 percent last year's Kentucky Downs meet (4-for-16).

Kentucky Downs' 2023 meet takes place Aug. 31 and Sept. 2, 3, 7, 9, 10 and 13. First post each day is at 12:25 p.m. Central, except for the Saturday, Sept. 9 card, which features a special start time of 11:30 a.m. Central.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: Can A Return To The Grass Equal Cash?

The elite Kentucky Downs rolls on, featuring some of the nation's largest purses and field sizes, and one of the most attractive wagering menus on the racing calendar.

The Paulick Report is back with another season of Longshot Look to help you get the most out of one of North America's premier turf meets.

For each card of the seven-day meet, J.D. Fox will single out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.

On Saturday's card, Fox will be watching a 20-1 morning line shot in Race 4 who is making her return to turf for the first time since breaking her maiden last year.

Saturday's “Scratch Saver” is #3 Etheric in the second race. Etheric returns from a long layoff into Jonathan Thomas' barn, who is hitting at 30 percent on horses new to his shedrow. This horse has shown an ability to grind and close in what appears to be a wide open maiden special weight field. Etheric is 8-1 on the morning line.
