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.

Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Pool At Gulfstream Guaranteed At $250,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $250,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the third consecutive racing day since last Saturday's mandatory payout. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $6,659.46 Friday.

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. A full field of maiden claimers will kick off the sequence in a five-furlong turf dash in Race 7 before stakes-placed Sweetheart Deal will try to improve on her second-place finish in her recent 2020 debut in an optional claiming allowance in Race 8. Todd Pletcher-trained Kokomo, a daughter of Uncle Mo who broke her maiden over the Gulfstream turf in her 2019 finale, will make her second start of the year in Race 9, a mile optional claiming allowance on turf, after finishing third in an off-the-turf optional claiming allowance last month.

Race 10 will feature Florida-breds, including Bob Hess Jr.-trained Silvery Enough, who will seek his third straight victory in the six-furlong optional claiming allowance. The Rainbow 6 sequence will be closed out by a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance on turf in Race 11, in which On a Spree will seek his third-straight victory for trainer Juan Arriagada, and a $30,000 claiming race at six furlongs in Race 12, in which Win With Pride will make his second start for Pletcher since being claimed by Repole Stables.
