A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool is set for Saturday's FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes program at Gulfstream Park.
Four stakes for 2-year-olds, including the $200,000 FSS Affirmed and $200,000 FSS Susan's Girl, will be included in the popular multi-race wager's six-race sequence.
With a carryover of $349,328.25 heading into Saturday's program, the Rainbow 6 pool is expected to swell into the millions. Gulfstream hosts and analysts Ron Nicoletti and Jason Blewitt look at Saturday's sequence and provide handicapping tips.
The Rainbow 6 sent unsolved for the eighth consecutive program Friday, when tickets with all six winners were each worth $388.14.
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.
Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Race 7-12, kicked off by a full field of $6,250 maiden claiming fillies and mares going six furlongs in Race 7, followed by the $75,000 Proud Man, the $200,000 Susan's Girl, the $75,000 Sharp Susan and the $200,000 Affirmed. The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a 1 1/16-mile turf race for $12,500 claimers.
The Proud Man, a mile turf race, will be contested by nine juveniles, including Boca Boy, who finished third in the $100,000 Dr. Fager, the first leg of the Florida Sire Stakes series Aug. 1. The Sharp Susan, a mile turf race for 2-year-old fillies, attracted Spanish Loveaffair, who captured her July 23 debut by 11 lengths for trainer Mark Casse.
Breeze On By, who captured the six-furlong Dr. Fager, returns in the seven-furlong Affirmed, in which the Ralph Nicks trainee will again clash with Dr. Fager runner-up Gatsby.
Go Jo Jo Go, a late-closing winner of the $100,000 FSS Desert Vixen, will headline the seven-furlong Susan's Girl, in which Desert Vixen runner-up Princess Secret will seek revenge on the Michael Yates trainee.
Breeze On By and Go Jo Jo Go are both owned by Gilbert Campbell's Stonehedge LLC, winner of 14 Florida Sire Stakes series races.
