Pick six features carryover of $132,849

Show up early at Keeneland on Wednesday. Not only does the day’s third race feature some familiar names – it kicks off a pick-six sequence with a hefty $132,849 carryover.

The $1 pick six has carried over every day since last being hit Oct. 8.

Wednesday’s opening race in the sequence is a $100,000 conditioned allowance-optional event for 3-year-olds, and is led by Petrov, who was a player in Oaklawn’s series for the division earlier this year. The colt finished second in both the Smarty Jones and the Grade 3 Southwest. After Petrov finished fourth in the Grade 2 Rebel and ninth in the Arkansas Derby, trainer Ron Moquett gave the colt a brief freshening, and he has recently found his footing in sprint company. He posted a four-length allowance win at Saratoga under Jose Ortiz, who will be back in the irons Wednesday, and most recently was third in the Grade 3 Gallant Bob at Parx Racing.

Excitations, trained by Al Stall for the Fair Grounds Racing Club, finished second in the Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga going this 6 1/2-furlong distance. His Beyer Speed Figure of 101 for that effort is the best in this field.

Aquamarine finished second to Recruiting Ready in the Chick Lang Stakes this spring, while Shadow Tracer was a multiple stakes winner against his fellow Michigan-breds over the summer.

◗ Light Up Our World and Fizzy Friday each is looking for her first U.S. win in the seventh race, a $69,000 conditioned allowance on the turf for fillies and mares.

Light Up Our World, group-stakes-placed in England, is winless in four starts this year, all for trainer Arnaud Delacour. She finished second in the Grade 3 Violet Stakes at Monmouth and third in the All Along at Laurel in her two most recent outings.

Fizzy Friday won her first two starts in Ireland before coming to the U.S. in the care of Ignacio Correas. She is winless in four starts here, finishing second last out in the Riskaverse Stakes at Saratoga.

Sensitive and Brooks House were second and third in an allowance-optional event at Kentucky Downs to Res Ipsa, who came back to win her subsequent outing.

◗ The sixth race, a $65,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-olds, is another intriguing piece in the pick six puzzle. Adena Springs homebred Sir Sahib, from the first crop of Fort Larned, finished third for trainer Ian Wilkes at Churchill in his debut with a Beyer of 64, the best in this field. The one-two finishers in that race, Promises Fulfilled and Rubus, have both come back to win at this meet.

Mississippi, a Pioneerof the Nile colt who was a $700,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale earlier this year, makes his debut in the sixth race. Trained by Mark Casse, he put in a recent bullet work at Keeneland.
