Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $400,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $400,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing day Wednesday, when multiple tickets with six winners were each worth $39.62 for a sequence that included two 'all' races.

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.

Defending Spring/Summer Meet champion Edgard Zayas added three more wins to his meet-leading total at Gulfstream Park Wednesday with a natural hat trick. Zayas scored aboard Nothin But Net ($5.20) in Race 5, Bourbon in May ($7.40) in Race 6 and R Mercedes Boy ($8.40) in Race 7.

Zayas has been victorious on each of the past eight racing programs at Gulfstream while notching seven multi-win performances.

Zayas holds a 75-63 lead over Emisael Jaramillo, who doubled aboard Special Inclusion ($3.60) in Race 2 and Bahamian Beat ($3.20) in Race 8 Wednesday.

Jockey Angel Stanley, who was unseated from his mount in Race 5, was taken to Aventura Hospital for evaluation after reporting back pain.

10-Year-Old Pay Any Price Prevails In Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint

Pay Any Price, the 10-year-old gelding owned by Averill Racing LLC and Matties Racing Stable LLC, held off a late rally by Ambassador Luna to win Sunday's $75,000 Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint by a nose over a 'good' turf course at Gulfstream Park.

A son of Wildcat Heir trained by Georgina Baxter, Pay Any Price has won 19 of 33 races, including nine stakes. The gelding won the Umphrey in 2017 and 2018, the Crystal River in 2018 and 2019, and was second in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint in 2017.

The win was especially pleasing to Baxter after Pay Any Price lost his three previous starts.

“This horse is amazing, isn't he?” Baxter said. “I know his last two runs were questionable but you can never write this horse off. You have to respect him every time he steps on the racetrack.

“He's special to me. He's special to everyone in the barn. He's 10 years old. His worst enemy is his attitude, but he's turned into be our best friend – the fact that he is so goofy and quirky. He's still so good and so fast and still running well at 10 years old.”

Pay Any Price popped out of the gate under jockey Edgard Zayas and set fractions of :21.84 and :44.03 before hitting the wire first. The gelding was bred in Florida by Brent and Crystal Fernung and has now won 16 of 24 starts at Gulfstream.

Earlier in the afternoon, GU Racing Stable LLC's Belle Laura split horses around the turn and drove to an impressive victory in Sunday's $60,000 In The Breeze, covering a good mile turf course in 1:35.32.

The 4-year-old daughter of Mucho Macho Man, facing 10 others, including six stakes winners, was fifth down the backstretch before moving between pacesetter Dangerous Curves and Rosa Star around the turn and then driving away to a 4 ½ length victory over Great Sister Diane. Midnight Soiree was third.

Belle Laura is now two-for-two this year under the shedrow of trainer Juan Avila and jockey Hector Berrios. The filly finished third in the Jessamine (G2) and seventh in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) as a 2-year-old, and third in the Herecomesthebride (G3) last year.

Friday’s Rainbow 6 To Have $400K Guarantee At Gulfstream; Mandatory Payout Set For Tuesday

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $400,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the sixth consecutive racing day Wednesday, when multiple tickets with five of six winners were each worth $3,049.80.

There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $3,398.92 heading into Friday's program.

Gulfstream has scheduled a special live-racing program on Tuesday, when mandatory payouts of the Rainbow 6, Late Pick 5 and the Super Hi-5 will be offered on the final day of Florida's fiscal year.

Zayas Hitting His Stride with a Big Boost from Pletcher
Edgard Zayas teamed with trainer Todd Pletcher for a victory with a promising Florida Sire Stakes-eligible juvenile for the second racing day in a row at Gulfstream Park Wednesday.

After guiding Tamiami to a late-rallying triumph in a maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies on Sunday, Zayas returned to the Gulfstream winner's circle after riding Son of a Beast to a gutsy front-running score against seven Florida-bred 2-year-olds Wednesday.

The victory aboard the son of The Big Beast was Zayas' 58^th of the Spring Meet at Gulfstream to place him at the top of the jockey standings. The defending Spring Meet riding champion has received considerable support from Pletcher, the leading trainer who left a talent-deep string at Gulfstream after wrapping up his 16^th Championship Meet training title March 29.

“I appreciate the opportunity he's always given me. He's always given me an opportunity on his horses,” Zayas said. “We just got to keep working as hard as we can for him and hopefully stay lucky.”

Son of a Beast, who is owned by breeders Jettany Thoroughbred Corp. and JAG Racing, was rushed to the lead shortly after the start of Wednesday's five-furlong Race 2, encountered heavy pressure from Tiger on the turn and through the stretch and battled his way to victory by three-quarters of a length.

“He's a big horse for that distance. I think he's definitely going to go longer. He broke good and I had to rush him a little bit, but once he got into stride he had a beautiful stride,” Zayas said. “Once he got pressure from that other horse, it helped him. It encouraged him to finish up strong.”

Son of a Beast, who ran five furlongs in 59.06 seconds as the 3-2 favorite, established himself as a prominent prospect for the 2020 Florida Sire Stakes series that is scheduled to get under way Aug. 1.

As for Zayas, who will celebrate his 27^th birthday Saturday, he's looking forward to building on his Spring Meet momentum.

“I'm hitting my stride again with all the opportunities from the owners and trainers,” he said. “Hopefully, this is the time to hit my stride and keep it going for a long time.”
