Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6 Pool Guaranteed At $400,000 On Wednesday
When Gulfstream resumes racing Wednesday afternoon the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed pool of $400,000.
First race post at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track is noon.
Wednesday's Rainbow 6 sequence will begin with 3-year-old and up claiming going five furlongs on the turf in Gulfstream's fifth race. The sequence has four races scheduled on the turf.
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.
NOTE: Magic Stables LLC's 2-year-old colt Papetu remained unbeaten in two starts when he drove away from six others to win Gulfstream's first juvenile allowance race of the meet. The Son of Gone Astray covered the 5 ½ furlongs in 1:04.46. The filly Princess Secret finished second and Famous Gent third…Whisper Hill Farm LLC's Doll Collection, a 4-year-old filly by Tapit out of champion Groupie Doll, broke her maiden Sunday, covering seven furlongs in 1:24.23.
