Meadowlands: Pick 6 carryover, Graduate top weekend action

It's a fact that Meadowlands fans love a carryover, and their next chance to jump into one with a sizeable pool comes this Friday (April 30).

Last Saturday (April 24), no one hit the 20-cent Pick-6, creating a carryover of $9,992. That amount might seem unimpressive, but because that money is not subject to the already low 15 percent takeout on the wager, betting figures to be fast and furious on Friday.

The last time a carryover was offered on a P6 (April 10), a $9,019 carryover led to a total pool of $73,124, and those who correctly selected all six winners collected $877.14.

Championship Meet starts

Some of the best 4-year-old pacers in training will be on the track at The Big M Saturday as the Graduate Series gets underway with a pair of $50,000 dashes in Leg One of the series.

Division One features Poseidon Seelster, a Nik Drennan trainee seeking his third straight win in sub-1:50, and Captain Barbossa, the 2020 Little Brown Jug winner who won last week at The Big M in 1:49 1/5 after a final quarter in a sensational 25 3/5.

Ruthless Hanover makes his first start in three months off a win at the mile oval in 1:48 4/5 in Division Two, and will take on Sandbetweenmytoes, who upset Horse of the Year Tall Dark Stranger in the 2020 Breeders Crown at odds of 200-1.
