HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool yielded multiple payoffs of $4,220.26 Sunday at Gulfstream Park.
The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for seven consecutive racing days, producing a carryover pool of $112,838 heading into wagering on Sunday’s six-race sequence that spanned Races 5-10. A total of $1,157,335 was wagered on the Rainbow 6 Sunday.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is only 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 usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. On mandatory-payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager’s six-race sequence.
The winning combination was 2-4-5-3-2-10. The Rainbow 6 starts anew when live racing resumes on Friday.
Gulfstream Turf Renovation, New Summer Schedule
Beginning with its nine-race holiday program Friday, July 4 Gulfstream will move to a summer schedule of live racing Friday through Sunday.
The month of July will include maintenance and renovation of the turf course. Weather permitting, turf racing could resume Aug. 4.
Gulfstream’s July 4th weekend of racing will include Friday’s $75,000 Carry Back featuring Arcadia Michigan Stable’s undefeated 3-year-old colt Here Comes Francis, and Saturday’s $75,000 Smile Sprint with Ken Ramsey’s Hooper (G3) runner-up and Army Mule winner Implementation.
