The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.3 million Friday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The Rainbow 6 went unsolved Thursday for the 13th racing day in a row since a March 6 mandatory payout. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $1,793.80 Thursday.
A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 is scheduled for Saturday's Gulfstream Park program, which will include 10 stakes, headlined by the $750,000 Curlin Florida Derby presented by Hill 'n' Dale Farm at Xalapa.
Should the popular multi-race wager go unsolved through Friday the pool is expected to swell into the multi-millions.
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.
The Late Pick 5 and the Late Pick 4, both boasting all-stakes sequences, will have guaranteed pools of $750,000 Saturday. The Late Pick 5 (Races 10-14) and Late Pick 4 (Races 11-14) will both have all-stakes sequences. The Curlin Florida Derby will anchor the sequences for the Late Pick 5, Late Pick 4 and the Rainbow 6 (Races 9-14).
There will be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $4,534.49 heading into Friday's card.
