Big Bucksalot on a roll at age of 6

Big Bucksalot has won two of his last three plus a second after his smart victory as the even-money favorite going a flat mile at Thistledown under Alexander Chavez.

The 6-year-old Neolithic gelding bred by Julie Jackson sat a comfortable second down the backstretch, was carried out to the six path for the stretch run, then drew off under a hand ride, winning by 3 1/2 lengths in 1:39.18. He paid $4.20 and earned a check for $7,320, lifting his career total to $124,197 on a record of 9-5-6 in 40 starts.

He was claimed out of the race.
