A chalky start to the Pick-6 as the 4-5 favorite Backtohisroots draws away to an easy win for trainer Joe Sharp, who continues to wield a hot hand here, in the opening leg. A total of $306,967 was added to the carryover of nearly $57,000. Finger Lakes invader Irish Roar, at 44-1, was second best in his debut despite acting up some at the gate.
