Sunday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed at $850,000
The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $850,000 for Sunday’s 10-race program at Gulfstream Park.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 14th consecutive racing day following a mandatory payout of $40,357.56 March 5. Multiple tickets with all six winners Saturday returned $4.008.64.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
Saturday’s Rainbow 6 spans Races 5-10.
There will be a mandatory payout on Sunday, April 2.
Who’s Hot: Trainer James Toner and jockey Jorge Ruiz won three consecutive races Saturday in the middle of Gulfstream’s program. The pair teamed up for victories with Seige of Boston ($4.40) in Race 6, Bryce Canyon ($8) in Race 7 and Traffic Song ($29.60) in Race 8.
