$260,473 pick six carryover into Friday’s Belmont card
ELMONT, N.Y. – There will be a pick six carryover of $260,473 into Friday’s card at Belmont Park after the wager went unhit for a second consecutive program.
The carryover was triggered when Chulainn ($19.60) got up in the last two jumps to nail Voliero in the nightcap. There were two live pick six tickets, each worth $130,236.50, to Voliero.
The other winners in Thursday’s pick six sequence were Dancingwthdaffodls ($36.80), Ninth Hour ($9.20), The Last Zip ($12.20), Higher Truth ($8.30), and Jalen Journey ($5.30). The consolation payout (5 of 6) was $1,479.

This is largest carryover of this Belmont Park meet, which saw the pick six wager return to its traditional format of paying out 75 percent of the pool to those who had all six winners with 25 percent reserved to a consolation (5 of 6) payout. That was a change from the jackpot format that only paid out the entire pool when there was a single winning ticket.
The pick six is now a $1 base wager. It had been 20 cents under the jackpot format.
Friday’s pick six begins on race 4 (2:31 p.m. Eastern). The sequence includes four turf races and a forecast that should allow for them all to be run on the turf.
