The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed for $1 million Friday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for 12 racing days in a row following a mandatory payout on Jan. 29, Pegasus World Cup Day.
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.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, kicked off by a maiden special weight race for Florida-bred 3-year-old fillies. Little Pearl, a daughter of Constitution, will debut for a trainer with a 29-percent strike rate with first-time starters. With Liberty, Spirit Wind and Chitienne are returning from promising debuts.
In Race 7, Peter D, a stakes winner on Tapeta during the Fall Meet, returns to turf in a 1 1/16-mile starter optional claiming allowance. Steel City Dude and Demogorgon also move to turf following solid showings on Tapeta. Wicked Fast is slated to make his first start off the claim for trainer Jorge Abreu, looking to duplicate winning effort in a $50,000 maiden claimer at Belmont in November.
The sequence concludes with a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance on turf, headed by Timmy M, a winner at this level in an off-the-turf event, and Farm Boy, a winner over the Gulfstream turf who is coming off a pair of placings in starter allowances at Tampa Bay.
Who's Hot: Edwin Gonzalez swept the last three races on Thursday's card aboard Souper All Star ($10.20) in Race 7, Bramble Berry ($7) in Race 8 and Alado ($9.80) in Race 9.
Tyler Gaffalione doubled aboard New York Style ($17.80) in Race 2 and Grainger County ($6) in Race 6.
