Gulfstream: Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is guaranteed at $125,000
The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $125,000 for Friday’s 10-race program at Gulfstream Park.
First race post time is 12:10 p.m. EST.
Friday’s Rainbow 6 sequence spans races 5-10 and includes a pair of optional-claiming allowance features for Florida-breds. Race 6 for 3-year-olds and up sprinting six furlongs on the main track drew a field of nine led by 5-2 program favorite Classify, a seven-furlong maiden winner Oct. 20 who ran second first time against winners Dec. 3, both at Gulfstream against older horses.
Race 9, for fillies and mares 3 and up scheduled for one mile on the grass, will see 5-year-old Crystal Coast chasing a sixth career win from post 2 against eight rivals including Hay Hay Paula, a winner of three straight on the all-weather Tapeta course.
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. On mandatory payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettor with the most winners.
There will be a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 on Saturday’s program, which features the Grade 2 Fort Lauderdale, Harlan’s Holiday (G3) and Suwannee River. They are the local preps for the Pegasus World Cup Turf (G1), Pegasus World Cup (G1) and Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf (G2), respectively, on Jan. 27.
