A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool yielded multiple payoffs of $1.140.92 Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The carryover jackpot pool heading into Rainbow 6 wagering was $873,676, which helped to generate a handle of $5,474,357 on the popular multi-race wager Sunday.
The Rainbow 6 had gone for the 10 straight racing days since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Feb. 22.
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 Rainbow 6 will start anew on Wednesday, when a 10-race program will get underway at 1:10 p.m. and there will be a guaranteed pool of $150,000.
WHO'S HOT: Leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. kept rolling along toward another Championship Meet title with four winners Sunday. The two-time defending titlist scored aboard Shananies Paynter ($4.80) in Race 1, Maureenlovesfrank ($3) in Race 2, Too Much Tip ($5.80) in Race 4, and Livin at the Beach ($5.40) in Race 6.
Ortiz, who rode five winners Friday and two on Saturday, has a meet-leading total of 121. The record for most victories by a jockey is 137, set by Luis Saez during the 2017-2018 meet. Ortiz rode 135 winners in 2018-2019.
