No Winner in Sunday’s Rainbow 6 Means Record Carryover Jackpot For Friday Card At Pimlico

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 25th consecutive racing day Sunday, boosting the Maryland state record carryover jackpot to $1,351,928.63 when live action returns Friday, July 2.

No horses were live to take down the jackpot entering Sunday's seventh-race finale, won by 4-5 favorite Sam and Sy ($3.20) and Preakness Meet-leading jockey Charlie Marquez. A total of $125,174 was added to Saturday's carryover of $1,311,881.31. Multiple tickets with all six winners paid $223.78.

Last solved for a $23,346.70 payout May 7, the Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out only when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 60 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Introduced in Maryland April 2, 2015 on opening day of Pimlico's spring meet, the Rainbow 6 has far surpassed its previous state record carryover of $345,898.33 spanning 31 racing programs before being solved by one lucky bettor for a life-changing $399,545.94 payout April 15, 2018 at Laurel Park. The winning ticket was purchased through Maine off-track betting.

Friday's Rainbow 6 will span Races 3-8. The sequence opens with a waiver maiden claimer for 2-year-old fillies sprinting five furlongs on the main track, and includes two races scheduled for one mile over the turf course which drew a total of 28 entries.

Gulfstream Park: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $500,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $500,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the seventh racing day in a row Thursday, when tickets with all six winners were each worth $1,051.48

There will also be a Super Hi-5 Carryover Friday of $4,251.17.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool has been scheduled for Saturday, when the $200,000 Affirmed and the $200,000 Susan's Girl will be included in the six-race sequence. The pool is expected to exceed $2 million if the Rainbow 6 continues to go unsolved Friday.

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.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, which will feature a well-stocked $65,000 maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies in Race 5 with offspring of Uncle Mo, Cairo Prince, Speightster, Air Force Blue and Jess's Dream. The sequence will conclude with a mile turf race for $40,000 maiden claimers in Race 9.

Race 9 will also be included in the sequence for Friday's Stronach 5, the national wager with a $1 base and a $100,000 pool guarantee. Laurel Park's Race 7 will kick off the sequence, followed by Gulfstream's Race 9, Races 8 and 9 at Laurel, and Race 2 at Golden Gate Fields.
