Gulfstream Park's mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 resulted in multiple winning tickets Saturday returning $7,363.64.
There was a carryover of $839,334.75 in the Rainbow 6 at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track, and $5.336 million of new money bet into the pool. The sequence included Repole Stable's Always Shopping winning the Via Borghese and Sleepy Eyes Todd winning the Mr. Prospector (G3).
The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot is usually 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. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.
Racing continues at Gulfstream Sunday with an 11-race program featuring two Florida-bred allowance optional claiming events with purses of $40,000. The ninth race, at a mile on the main track, has Charlie the Greek entered off a sixth-place finish Dec. 5 in the Claiming Crown Iron Horse. Green Mansions will make his first start since being claimed by Jorge Delgado. The 10th race, at five furlongs on the turf, has Ray'swarrior as the 5-2 favorite, Trained by Kelly Breen, Ray'swarrior comes into the race off a fifth-place finish in the Claiming Crown Express.
The Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed pool Sunday of $75,000.
