The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $800,000 Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where an 11-race program will get underway at 12:05 p.m.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the ninth day of the Championship Meet, Saturday when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $25,942.04.
The 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 goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, kicked off by a well-stocked maiden special weight race for Florida-bred 2-year-olds at 7 ½ furlongs on turf. Mike Maker-trained Chess's Dream is set for a return to turf while taking on nine rivals. The son of Jess's Dream finished second twice on turf in his first two career starts during Gulfstream Park's Spring/Summer Meet before switching to the main track for an off-the-board finish in the $400,000 In Reality. Trainer Christophe Clement will unveil Borkan, a son of Speightstown.
A six-furlong sprint for $12,500 claimers in Race 7 is followed by a pair of salty optional claiming allowance races in Races 8 and 9.
Michael Trombetta-trained Spun Glass, a daughter of Hard Spun who has won her last two races at Presque Isle Downs and Woodbine, goes for three in a row in Race 8, a five-furlong turf sprint for fillies and mares.. Bob Hess Jr.-trained Lenzi's Lucky Lady, who captured the FSS Desert Vixen last year, is scheduled to make her second start since finishing off the board in the Charles Town Oaks (G3).
In Race 9, a six-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up, Irad Ortiz Jr. is slated to ride With Verve for the first time. The Larry Bates-trained son of Kantharos, who won last season's Hutcheson, is coming off a third-place finish in the Millions Sprint Preview at Gulfstream Park West.
A $50,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up at a mile on turf in Race 10 and a five-furlong maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies on turf in Race 11 wrap up the Rainbow 6 Sequence. In the finale, Hall of Famer Bill Mott will send out Candy Jar, a Godolphin homebred daughter of Candy Ride, for her career debut.
