Last-race longshot forces pick five carryover to Thursday
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - An upset in Sunday’s final race triggered a late pick-5 carryover of $189,194 into Thursday’s Aqueduct card.
There are only eight races Thursday, so the late pick-5, a 50-cent minimum wager, will start on race 4 (2:16 p.m. Eastern).
Sunday’s sequence began with heavily favored O’Trouble ($3.10). But double-digit-priced winners ensued with Ricelle ($13.20), Gaslight ($29.60), Milton the Monster ($10.80) and Prince of Joy ($66). Prince of Joy was the only horse not covered in the late pick-5.
There is not a carryover in the pick-6 because Sunday was deemed a mandatory payout for that wager, owing to a carryover of $22,612 from Friday’s card. All wagers in Saturday’s pick-6 were refunded when the final four races of that program were canceled due to fog.
Sunday’s pick-6 was paid out to those who selected five of six winners, returning $4,780.50 for $1.
