The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $500,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the seventh consecutive racing day Friday, when multiple tickets with six winners were each worth $2,888.80.
The carryover jackpot 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 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 sequence will span Races 7-12 and include the $60,000 Added Elegance in Race 11. Letruska and Nonna Madeline, who finished 1-2, respectively, in an Oaklawn Park allowance in April, will have a rematch in the mile overnight stakes for fillies and mares.
Letruska has won eight of her nine lifetime races on dirt, including the Copa Invitacional del Caribe on the Dec. 8 Clasico Internacional del Caribe program at Gulfstream. Nonna Madeline has placed twice in graded stakes, including a third-place finish in the Inside Information (G2) Jan. 25 at Gulfstream.
Mandatory Payouts for Tuesday's 9-Race Card
Tuesday's special 9-race program, which will feature mandatory payouts of the Rainbow 6, Late Pick 4 and Late Pick 5, was drawn Friday.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will begin with the fourth race, a maiden claiming event over a five furlong turf course. The sequence will have three races on the turf.
NOTES: Ron Paolucci Racing, LLC's Liza Star, a 6-year-old mare trained by Peter Walder and ridden by Miguel Vasquez, won Friday's feature, a $48,000 allowance optional claiming event. Liza Star, a winner of 11 of 31 starts and seven of her last 11, covered 6 ½ furlongs in 1:16.26…Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado scored a riding double on Friday, winning back-to-back in races 5 and 6 with Customerexperience and Sailing Solo for trainers Saffie Joseph Jr. and Louie Roussel III.

The Jackpot Pick 5 bet offered at Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is now a staggering $392,927 going into Monday's and a mandatory payout date has been set.
“Our fans have been chasing the jackpot since the start of the season and are salivating at the chance to win it.”, said Darren Dunn, CEO. “It is creating a lot of excitement and has people dreaming about what they would do with all that money.”
The Jackpot Pick 5 bet requires the selection of the winners of the last 5 races in the program. Players with the correct selections share in the proceeds from the amount bet on that day. The jackpot is a bonus that is paid if there is only one winning ticket. The cost of a ticket is only 20 cents.
The single winner jackpot pool will typically build to a point and then there is a mandatory payout day scheduled. A mandatory payout day requires that the entire jackpot and the current day's pool must be paid out to the winners that day. These events draw substantially more wagering as everyone is trying to win their share of the jackpot bonus.
The mandatory payout day for the Jackpot Pick 5 has now been set for Monday, July 6, 2020, if the bet is not won by a single winning ticket before that date.
“These pools create quite a buzz for players.”, continued Dunn. “If a single winner wins it before that date, they will walk away with hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it isn't won, we will be giving it away to all winners. Either way is a great result! This has the potential to be a record-setting event.”
The Downs also has a Jackpot Hi-5 bet with a carryover of $54,000. This pool requires the correct selection of the first 5 finishers of the last race of every racing program.
Racing continues every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday through September 15 at 7:30 pm (Central Time).
