Wednesday Belmont Park Pick 6 Results ($930,000 Carryover)

There is speculation that the pool for today's Pick 6 at Belmont could reach $3 million, although the early scratches and the switch of race 9 from turf to dirt may cause a slightly smaller pool. 

Post time for the first leg, race 4, is 2:22 Eastern / 11:22 Pacific. (The post time has been moved up by Belmont Park in hopes of beating the rain.)

I'll post the results for each leg of the sequence below.

Winning combination: 4 / 3 / 10 / 7 / 1 / 11

-4-Macho Joe wires the field at 8/5 in the first leg and wins easily ahead of 1-Montana Knight.

-A huge upset in Race 5 (leg 2), as 3-Landlash at 22/1 wins by a half-head over 5-Kaffiend.  There were a lot of people that had either 7-Under the Rainbow or 1-Laylaben as singles on their tickets (including yours truly), and very few that were playing to this horse.  Safe to say a ton of players were probably just knocked out of the Pick 6.

-Things return to normal in Race 6 as 10-Hooligan's Delight sweeps by pacesetter 3-Tudor King to win the third leg at odds of 7/2.

-The old "First Time Gelded" angle comes into play in Race 7 as 7-John Wyatt goes by 4-Tapitdar in the final strides to win at odds of 4/1.  

Unless something really crazy happens in these final two legs, I doubt this Pick 6 will carryover.  Race 8 is only a 5-horse field, so it's unlikely to produce a carryover causing result.  The 9th, however, will probably have a strong favorite in the 12-Aquit, so that is probably the only hope of a carryover to tomorrow.

-1-Starforaday (4/1) takes command at the top of the stretch to win Race 8.
