The 20-cent Rainbow 6 Gross Jackpot Pool will be guaranteed at $375,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the 17th racing day following a mandatory payout.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10, featuring the $65,000 Proud Man Stakes, in which seven of the eight entrants are eligible for the FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes series that gets underway at Gulfstream Sept. 9. The Race 9 feature, which will be contested by 2-year-olds going six furlongs, offers a $25,000 win-only bonus to a Florida-bred winner.
Antonio Sano-trained Divieto, the only Kentucky-bred in the field, is rated as the 5-2 morning-line favorite on the strength of an impressive career debut July 21. The son of Dialed In defeated stablemate Le Dom Bro by 4 ½ lengths. Le Dom Bro came back Friday to graduate at Saratoga.
Juan Alvarado-trained Reaper, who captured the Prairie Gold Juvenile at Prairie Meadows last time out; Jose D'Angelo-trained Bentornato, who rallied from off the pace to win his recent debut; Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Big Effect, who graduated smartly after getting caught late by Bentornato in his debut; and Michael Yates-trained Keep On Coming, an easy winner in his May 5 debut; are all prime candidates for the FSS series.
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.
