The 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.5 million Saturday at Gulfstream Park.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 23rd consecutive racing program Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $327.58.
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.
Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, including the $100,000 Martha Washington in Race 9 and the $100,000 Not Surprising in Race 11.
Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Tournesol and Patrick Biancone-trained Yesterdayoncemore, who finished 1-2, respectively, in the July 12 Portofino Bay, are scheduled to clash again in the Martha Washington, a mile turf stakes for 3-year-old fillies.
Amador Sanchez-trained Graceful Kitten and Ruben Gracida-trained Monforte are both scheduled to return from layoffs in the $100,000 Not Surprising, a mile turf stakes for 3-year-olds. Graceful Kitten won the first three starts of his career before finishing off the board in both the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) at Santa Anita hasn't run since finishing off the board in the Nov. 30 Pulpit at Gulfstream. Monforte will seek to win his fifth straight race, the most recent being a win in the Feb. 17 Sage of Monticello at Gulfstream. Todd Pletcher-Kokomo brings sharp recent form into the Not Surprising, coming off a late-running optional claiming allowance victory.
