Pegasus World Cup Weekend will be wrapped up in grand style with a mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The popular multi-race wager has been building a jackpot for 12 racing days in a row, generating a carryover pool of $727,305.66 heading into Sunday's 11-race program. Sunday's pool is estimated to grow to $3 million or higher.
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.
Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-11, kicked off by a five-furlong turf dash for $12,500 claiming fillies and mares. Queen Calypso and Filmore East, who will make their first starts for trainers with 30-percent strike rates with off-the-claim starters, are rated at 3-1 and 7-2, in the morning line.
A 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race on turf for 3-year-old fillies follows in Race 6. Trainer Chad Brown is represented by two first-time starters in the full field – Public Service, a daughter of Hard Spun, and Ughrouda, a daughter of Curlin. Todd Pletcher-trained Beside Herself, a very wide third in her Gulfstream debut, is rated as the 3-1 morning-line favorite.
Ever-steady Don't Get Khozy is rated at 9-5 in a seven-furlong optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares in Race 7, which is followed by a well-stocked 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds on turf. Brown-trained Bandimere, a son of More Than Ready, and Pletcher-trained Celestial Glaze, a son of Frosted, are among the first-time starters.
Elizabeth Dobles' Cuy is slated to seek his third win in a row over Gulfstream's Tapeta course in Race 9, a 5 ½-furlong starter allowance. The sequence will be wrapped up by a mile optional claiming allowance on turf, featuring a full field of older horses, in Race 10, and a 1 1/16-mile race for $10,000 claimers on Tapeta in Race 11.
