Two-day, $276K carryover into Friday Belmont at the Big A card
OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- There will be a pick six carryover of $207,748 into Friday’s Belmont at Aqueduct card after the wager was not hit for a second straight day.
Thursday’s sequence began with a $71,284 carryover and there was $268,617 wagered into the pool. The sequence began with Masabeeh ($14.60), Scotty ($17.20), and After Five ($41.20), the latter the longest shot in a seven-horse field. Logical winners Curlin’s Wisdom ($5.10) and Mosienko ($4.20) won the next two legs, leaving live tickets to three horses -- The Sleepychipmunk, Sense a Giant, and Addicted to You -- entering the last race.
In the finale, Ableton, a 6-1 shot, held off Sense a Giant and Addicted to You to create the carryover. Before the last went official, the stewards declared Addicted to You a non-starter, as he was in the hands of the assistant starter. That reduced the odds on Ableton to 9-2 and he returned $11.20.
