The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool was hit for a $358,032.19 payoff Wednesday at Gulfstream Park. The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for 14 consecutive racing days.
One lucky bettor purchased a ticket with all six winners on Wednesday's nine-race card, including Soul of an Angel, who pulled off a 35-1 upset in the Race 8 feature.
Gerald James-trained South of an Angel ($74.40) rallied off a hot early pace with a wide sweep into the stretch to get the jump on highly regarded Avow and register a 2 ½-length victory in the mile optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds and up. Shaun Bridgmohan rode the winner, who ran a mile in a swift 1:35.74. Avow, who had to wait for room on the turn into the homestretch, made a strong kick to finish second, 10 ½ lengths ahead of Three Witches.
The Late Pick 5 paid $126,864.70.
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 winning combination was 4-3-8-4-2-6.
The Rainbow 6 will start anew Thursday.
