The Saturday Pick 6
at Aqueduct Racetrack will feature a $98,922 double Pick 6 carryover and three
stakes, including the 132nd running of the Grade 3, $200,000
Withers.
The sequence begins with race 5, which has a scheduled post time of
2:13. The Withers, the fifth leg of the Pick 6, is headed by Godolpin
Racing’s Alpha, who looks to post consecutive stakes victories at the Big
A, having taken the Count Fleet on January 7.
The Pick 6 also includes a pair of sprint stakes. The morning-line
favorite for the $100,000 Correction, a filly and mare event that will serve as
the second leg, is Nicole H, who is unbeaten in three starts on the inner
track. The fourth leg is the Grade 3, $150,000 Toboggan, which features last
year’s winner Calibrachoa. Seven opponents, including Repole Stable
entry-mate Caixa Eletronica and a coupled entry from owner Michael Dubb, will
take on Calibrachoa.
Also on offer is the $250,000 Guaranteed Late Pick 4, which spans the
final four races, 7-10, on the card.
Those who wish to play the Pick 6 can place their bets at Aqueduct
Racetrack or the Belmont Café, or through NYRA Rewards, which offers
Internet, On-Track, Phone, and Mobile
wagering.
