Saturday's Cigar Mile Day card will be bolstered by a triple Pick 6 carryover of $729,611 as the multi-race wager went unsolved on Friday at Aqueduct Racetrack.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $2,938 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly.

Friday's sequence kicked off in Race 5 with Sweet Mission [No. 12, $45.80] posting a 21-1 upset in a 1 1/16-mile inner turf claiming tilt for fillies and mares. Jose Ortiz piloted the winner for Mark Hennig.

Lost My Sock [No.1, $104.50], sent to post at odds of 51-1 under Raul Mena for trainer Derek Ryan, wore down Glitter Up in deep stretch to win Race 6, a six-furlong outer turf sprint for maiden juvenile fillies.

The streak of longshots continued in Race 7, a six-furlong optional-claiming sprint for state-bred 3-year-olds and up, with Saratoga Pal [No. 4, $40.40] rallying wide down the lane to win at odds of 19-1 as the longest shot in the seven-horse field. Eric Cancel guided the winner for Chris Englehart.

Crea's Bklyn Law [No. 8, $8.10] rallied down the center of the track to capture Race 8 with Kendrick Carmouche up for Michael Miceli in the 6 1/2-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up on the main track.

Off at odds of 4-1, Summer to Remember [No. 2, $12.20] took charge into the final turn and staved off a late charge from Smile Bryan to win Race 9, a 1 1/16-mile inner turf claiming tilt for 3-year-olds and up. Ortiz engineered the score for trainer Rudy Rodriguez.

With the carryover already confirmed, the Christophe Clement-conditioned She's the One [No. 3, $3.30] prevailed as the odds-on choice under Irad Ortiz, Jr. in Race 10, a six-furlong outer turf sprint for New York-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up.

Saturday's Pick 6 kicks off in Race 5 at 1:45 p.m. Eastern and includes the Grade 1, $750,000 Cigar Mile, the Grade 2, $250,000 Remsen, the Grade 2, $250,000 Demoiselle, and the Grade 3, $250,000 Go for Wand. First post on the 10-race card is 11:50 a.m.

Laurel: Turf Maintenance Necessitates Adjusting Distance Of Two Stakes Races

Required maintenance of Laurel's world-class turf course has necessitated adjusting the distances for the first two scheduled grass stakes of the season.

The $100,000 Henry S. Clark for 3-year-olds and up and $100,000 Dahlia for fillies and mares 3 and older will each be contested at 1 1/16 miles. Both stakes were originally scheduled for one mile.

Topping the Saturday, April 17 stakes program are the $125,000 Federico Tesio for 3-year-olds and $125,000 Weber City Miss for 3-year-old fillies. Once again, the Tesio will serve as a 'Win and In' qualifier for Triple Crown-nominated horses to the 146th Preakness Stakes (G1) May 15 at Pimlico Race Course, and the Weber City is a 'Win and In' event for the Black-Eyed Susan (G2) on Preakness weekend.

Also on the April 17 card are the $100,000 Frank Y. Whiteley for 3-year-olds and up sprinting seven furlongs and $100,000 King T. Leatherbury, 5 ½-furlong turf dash for 3-year-olds and up.

Nominations for all seven stakes close Saturday, April 3.

Notes: Trainer Claudio Gonzalez and jockey Angel Cruz teamed up for a pair of wins Sunday with Start the Parade ($4.40) in Race 4 and Tayler's Chrome ($18.60) in Race 7. Jockeys Sheldon Russell and five-pound apprentice Charlie Marquez both rode back-to-back winners, Marquez with Bahama Channel (5.60) in Race 2 and Bean Indiscreet ($3.60) in Race 3 and Russell with Princess Corey ($3.20) in Race 5 and King Mauro ($9) in Race 6.
