Favorites Dominate Pick 6s

Horseplayers hit the pick six at Belmont, Churchill, and Hollywood, which were all offering sizable carryover pots on Wednesday, but favorites dominated the sequence at each track. At Hollywood, the longest price was $9.40 on Charisma Matters in the sixth, and the payout $5,193. Belmont players were saved from an even smaller return when 3-1 Our Top Cat was disqualified and placed second, behind 19-1 Karakorum Thunder, in the day’s finale. Disqualifications are always controversial, and this one was no exception, but Left at the Gate makes a pretty good case that it was justified. Belmont paid $14,026. Churchill players did the best, with a payout of $41,722, largely thanks to longshot Unforgotten in the sixth, who paid $38 to win.
