$500,000 Rainbow 6 Jackpot Guarantee Saturday At Gulfstream; Mandatory Payouts Set For Tuesday

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $500,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the seventh consecutive racing day Friday, when multiple tickets with six winners were each worth $2,888.80.

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 and include the $60,000 Added Elegance in Race 11. Letruska and Nonna Madeline, who finished 1-2, respectively, in an Oaklawn Park allowance in April, will have a rematch in the mile overnight stakes for fillies and mares.

Letruska has won eight of her nine lifetime races on dirt, including the Copa Invitacional del Caribe on the Dec. 8 Clasico Internacional del Caribe program at Gulfstream. Nonna Madeline has placed twice in graded stakes, including a third-place finish in the Inside Information (G2) Jan. 25 at Gulfstream.

Mandatory Payouts for Tuesday's 9-Race Card
Tuesday's special 9-race program, which will feature mandatory payouts of the Rainbow 6, Late Pick 4 and Late Pick 5, was drawn Friday.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will begin with the fourth race, a maiden claiming event over a five furlong turf course. The sequence will have three races on the turf.

NOTES: Ron Paolucci Racing, LLC's Liza Star, a 6-year-old mare trained by Peter Walder and ridden by Miguel Vasquez, won Friday's feature, a $48,000 allowance optional claiming event. Liza Star, a winner of 11 of 31 starts and seven of her last 11, covered 6 ½ furlongs in 1:16.26…Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado scored a riding double on Friday, winning back-to-back in races 5 and 6 with Customerexperience and Sailing Solo for trainers Saffie Joseph Jr. and Louie Roussel III.

Assiniboia Downs Pick 5 Jackpot Approaches $400,000; July 6 Mandatory Payout Set

The Jackpot Pick 5 bet offered at Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is now a staggering $392,927 going into Monday's and a mandatory payout date has been set.

“Our fans have been chasing the jackpot since the start of the season and are salivating at the chance to win it.”, said Darren Dunn, CEO. “It is creating a lot of excitement and has people dreaming about what they would do with all that money.”

The Jackpot Pick 5 bet requires the selection of the winners of the last 5 races in the program. Players with the correct selections share in the proceeds from the amount bet on that day. The jackpot is a bonus that is paid if there is only one winning ticket. The cost of a ticket is only 20 cents.

The single winner jackpot pool will typically build to a point and then there is a mandatory payout day scheduled. A mandatory payout day requires that the entire jackpot and the current day's pool must be paid out to the winners that day. These events draw substantially more wagering as everyone is trying to win their share of the jackpot bonus.

The mandatory payout day for the Jackpot Pick 5 has now been set for Monday, July 6, 2020, if the bet is not won by a single winning ticket before that date.

“These pools create quite a buzz for players.”, continued Dunn. “If a single winner wins it before that date, they will walk away with hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it isn't won, we will be giving it away to all winners. Either way is a great result! This has the potential to be a record-setting event.”

The Downs also has a Jackpot Hi-5 bet with a carryover of $54,000. This pool requires the correct selection of the first 5 finishers of the last race of every racing program.

Racing continues every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday through September 15 at 7:30 pm (Central Time).

Stronach 5 Pays $4,165.20 Despite Wins By Two Heavy Favorites

Despite victories by two heavy favorites in Liza Star and Plot the Dots, Friday's Stronach 5 still rewarded bettors with winning tickets with a $4,165.20 payoff.

The national wager, with races from Laurel Park and Gulfstream Park, had a guaranteed pool of $100,000.

Friday's Stronach 5 began with Laurel Park's sixth race and an impressive victory by the 10-1 maiden Fiya, owned by The Orebanks, trained by Michael Merryman, and ridden by Feargal Lynch. The second leg of the sequence, run as Gulfstream's eighth race, was won by favored Liza Star while the third leg, run as Laurel's seventh race, was also won by the favorite, 4-5 shot Plot the Dots.

The 6-1 shot Rags for Britches won Gulfstream's ninth race, the fourth leg of Stronach 5, while the sequence wrapped up with the 7-1 shot Princess Killmain winning Laurel's eighth race.

Friday's races and sequence

Leg One – Laurel Park 6^th Race: Fiya $22.40
Leg Two –Gulfstream Park 8^th Race: Liza Star $4.20
Leg Three –Laurel Park 7th Race: Plot the Dots $3.80
Leg Four –Gulfstream Park 9th Race: Rags for Britches $14.80

Fans can watch and wager on the action at 1/ST.COM/BET.

The Stronach 5 In the Money podcast, hosted by Jonathan Kinchen and Peter Thomas Fornatale, is posted by 2 p.m. every Thursday at InTheMoneyPodcast.com and is available on iTunes and other major podcast distributors.

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.

Nominations Announced For $1-Million Haskell; Race To Include Derby Points, Breeders’ Cup Berth, Potential Bonus

Thirty-three horses were nominated to the Grade 1, $1-million TVG.com Haskell Stakes, with Monmouth Park's signature race on July 18 offering the added inducements of points for the Kentucky Derby and “Win and You're In” status for the Breeders' Cup Classic, racing secretary/handicapper John Heims and stakes coordinator Lynn T. Ott announced on Friday.

The Oceanport, N.J., track is also putting up a $1-million bonus for any horse that sweeps the Haskell, the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic this year.

The nine-furlong Haskell, to be contested for the 53rd time, headlines a stakes-filled program that includes the Grade 1 United Nations. It is one of just two Grade 1 races left for 3-year-olds prior to the Kentucky Derby, which has moved to Sept. 5 from its traditional spot the first Saturday in May because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Breeders' Cup Classic is set for Nov. 7.

A total of 170 points will be available for a chance to make the starting gate in the Kentucky Derby, with 100 going to the Haskell winner, 40 to the runner-up, 20 to the third-place finisher and 10 to the fourth-place horses.

Santa Anita Derby runner-up Authentic is one of three runners nominated from trainer Bob Baffert's barn. Cezanne and Uncle Chuck are the others.

Baffert has won the Haskell Invitational a record eight times, doing so in 2015 (American Pharoah), 2014 (Bayern), 2012 (Paynter), 2011 (Coil), 2010 (Lookin at Lucky), 2005 (Roman Ruler), 2002 (War Emblem) and 2001 (Point Given).

Opening Day for the 2020 Monmouth Park meet is set for Friday, July 3, with a 5 p.m. first post. Saturday and Sunday post times will be 12:50, with the exception of a noon start on Haskell Day.
