There will be a jackpot carryover of $170,841.94 in the 20-cent Rainbow 6 when live racing resumes to Gulfstream Park for an 11-race program Wednesday.
First race post time is 12:35 p.m.
The popular multi-race sequence went unsolved for the sixth consecutive racing day on Monday’s special Presidents Day holiday card. Multiple tickets were sold with all six winners, each worth $2,768.36.
Wednesday’s Rainbow 6 spans Races 6-11, including the featured 10th, a second-level $49,000 optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up. The 1 1/16-mile drew a field of six, including Nauset Beach, second by a nose in the Sunshine Millions Classic Jan. 21, and Papa Zulu, fourth in the $400,000 Poseidon Jan. 28.
The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is paid out only 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. However, on days when a mandatory payout is scheduled, the entire pool is shared by those holding tickets with the most winners
Rainbow 6 Carryover: $170,841.94
