Saratoga Opening Day Pick 6 Too Tough To Hit; $118,028 Carries Over To Friday

Saratoga Opening Day Pick 6 Too Tough To Hit; $118,028 Carries Over To Friday originally appeared on Paulick Report. Friday's card at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $118,028 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Thursday's 10-race program that opened the 40-day summer meet. Advertisement The $1 Pick 6 returned $5,620 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 winners correctly. Opening Day's Pick 6 sequence kicked off in Race 5 with a win from favored Deep Satin [No. 3, $6.70] in the first division of the one-mile inner turf restricted Listed $135,000 De La Rose with Jose Ortiz aboard for trainer Cherie DeVaux. Hall of Famer John Velazquez piloted the next winner as the George Weaver-conditioned Cy Fair [No. 10, $13.40] captured a 5 1/2-furlong Mellon turf maiden, in Race 6. The next race saw Ortiz return to the winner's circle aboard Lobby Rendezvous [No. 1, $10.80] in a nine-furlong maiden for conditioner Matt Shirer, in Race 7. In Race 8, the second division of the De La Rose, Dylan Davis navigated Ozara [No. 1, $10.20] to a ground-saving victory for trainer Miguel Clement. In Race 9, a six-furlong starter allowance, Irad Ortiz, Jr. led Spiritual Lady [No. 1, $25.40] to an 11-1 victory for conditioner Gregory Charlerie's first career victory. Advertisement With just the favored Best Impression covered heading into the Race 10 finale, a seven-furlong claimer, the Gustavo Rodriguez-trained 16-1 longshot Dream On Cara [No. 2, $34.20] prevailed with Ricardo Santana, Jr. in the saddle, triggering the carryover. Friday's Pick 6 begins in Race 5 at approximately 3:27 p.m. Eastern and includes the Grade 3, $175,000 Coronation Cup in Race 7.

Brilliant Berti Victorious In Wise Dan

Brilliant Berti Victorious In Wise Dan originally appeared on Paulick Report. A fourth generation homebred for the Klein family, Brilliant Berti picked up his second career graded stakes win in the $500,000 Grade 2 Wise Dan Stakes at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., on June 28. The 4-year-old son of Noble Mission completed the 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.41 over the firm, yet rain-softened, turf. 'Brian did a great job at getting him to settle,' trainer Cherie DeVaux told Churchill Down's Kaitlin Free. 'He kicked clear and ran a great race.' Advertisement The Wise Dan was the seventh win for Brilliant Berti in 11 career races. He won his first graded stakes in the G3 Bryan Station States at Keeneland in October, and won the American Derby for 3-year-olds on the turf on this card last year. Sent out from the DeVaux barn, Brilliant Berti was relegated to midpack after the break. With no pace in the early stages, Seminole Chief from the far outside cleared the field to lead heading into the first turn. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. placed Brilliant Berti in fourth heading into the first turn. Seminole Chief led the seven-horse field along the backstretch, setting fractions of :24.96 and :50.31. Mi Hermano Ramon took over the lead from Seminole Chief with an early move in the middle of the home turn, as Brilliant Berti began his own rally a length behind. Brilliant Berti briefly dueled with Mi Hermano Ramon, before putting that foe away. As they duked it out, Taking Candy and Lagynos charged up the rail but Brilliant Berti was able to hold on by three quarters of a length. Stablemate Taking Candy got up for second with Lagynos in third. Californian-invader Mi Hermano Ramon and Fort Washington finished in a dead-heat for fourth. Sent off as the 5-2 post-time favorite, Brilliant Berti paid $6.08 for the win. 'They both came back with a lot of dirt on them,' Devaux continued. 'There was a lot of give.'
