There will be a late pick-5 carryover of $46,314 into Friday’s card at Aqueduct after the wager was not hit on Thursday.
Sixto, the longest shot in a five-horse field -- Ghost Fighter the 5-2 2nd choice was scratched at the gate -- won race 5, a 2-year-old maiden race. Whyisshesoolucky won race 7 as the longest price on the board, returning $94. There were two live pick-5 tickets on #2 Catzalionbythetale, but he could only manage a fourth-place, in the eighth and final. Tiz Kaz Now ($9.70) won the finale as the third choice in a five-horse field.
Friday’s late pick-5 will be on races 4 through 8 and includes a stakes-caliber allowance race where 2019 Belmont Stakes winner Sir Winston certainly looks like a vulnerable 8-5 morning-line favorite.
As far as the Empire 6 goes, there were unique tickets to two horses entering Thursday’s finale, but neither unique ticket was on the winner. Thus, there will be an Empire 6 carryover of $252,159. The winning payout on Thursday’s Empire 6 was $766.50 for those who had 5 of 6.
