Although five horses were covered heading into the last leg of Wednesday’s pick six at Aqueduct, the favorite was not among them. So, when lukewarm choice The Blonde Peque ($8.60) took the finale as the second winner on the day for trainer Christophe Clement and the third for jockey Joel Rosario, the result was a two-day carryover of $72,676 into Thursday. Many tickets stayed alive through the first four races, wins by Gloria Victoria ($3.20), Secretive ($10.20), Summer Solo ($6.80), and Garmentos Girl ($14). Things grew more complicated in race 8, where 4-1 second choice Merry Meadow was disqualified and placed third after putting 1-2 shot Ultimate Shopper in tight along the rail in the stretch. Thus, second finisher My Place ($28.20) was awarded the victory. Other than The Blonde Peque, the other five horses held at single-digit odds in the last race – Poster Girl, Pleasant Cat, Atlantic Dream, Cat’s Claw, and Zamquick – were covered. Thursday’s pick six begins with race 4 at 1:47 p.m. Eastern.
