Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6 Guaranteed At $1 Million Saturday; Mandatory Payout Sunday

Gulfstream Park wraps up its summer meeting with $1 million in purses up for the grabs Saturday – including the finals of the FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes – and a mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 that could swell to approximately $5 million.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1 million for Saturday's FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes program at Gulfstream Park. Multiple winning tickets Friday returned $39,583.64. There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $3,612.13.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will be co-headlined by the $400,000 FSS In Reality and the $400,000 FSS My Dear Girl for fillies, the final legs of the tradition-rich series for 2-year-olds sired by accredited Florida stallions.

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.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will be highlighted by six juvenile stakes. The $150,000 FSS Wildcat Heir, a mile stakes for 3-year-olds and up, will kick off the sequence in Race 6, followed by the $75,000 Hollywood Beach, a five-furlong turf sprint; the My Dear Girl, the 1 1/16-mile FSS final for fillies; the $75,000 Armed Forces, a mile turf stakes; and the In Reality, the 1 1/16-mile open-division FSS final. The $75,000 Our Dear Peggy, a mile turf race for fillies, will conclude the sequence in Race 11.

Stonehedge LLC's Breeze On By will seek to become the fifth horse to sweep the open division of the Florida Sire Stakes in the In Reality. The undefeated Ralph Nicks-trained colt, who captured the $100,000 FSS Dr. Fager and the FSS $200,000 Affirmed would join Three Rules (2016), Sir Oscar (2003), Seacliff (1995) and Smile (1984) with a triumph in the 1 1/16-mile In Reality.

Owner/trainer Daniel Pita's Princess Secret, who captured the $200,000 FSS Affirmed, and Stonehedge LLC's Go Jo Jo Go, the $100,000 Desert Vixen winner, will clash again in the My Dear Girl.

Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Guaranteed At $900,000, Mandatory Payout Sunday

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool is scheduled for Sunday's closing-day program of the Spring/Summer Meet at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race program went unsolved for the 13th consecutive racing day Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $2,967.68. The carryover jackpot pool grew to $636,676.56. However, there will be a jackpot pool guarantee of $900,000 for Friday's Rainbow 6.

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.

Should the Rainbow 6 go unsolved Friday and Saturday, the pool is expected to build into the millions.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, including a second-level optional claiming allowance featuring Tatweej's quest for three wins in a row.

Trained by Todd Pletcher, the late-developing 4-year-old, who brought a bid of $2.5 million at the 2017 Keeneland September sale, has scored dominating back-to-back victories at Friday's distance of a mile. The son of Tapit, who finished third in his June 21 debut at Gulfstream, broke his maiden in front-running style by 3 ¾ lengths July 25. The Kentucky-bred colt, who is out of Grade 1-stakes winner Tiz Miz Sue, came right back to score by 2 ½ lengths Aug. 22. Edgard Zayas has the return mount Friday, when Tatweej will take on five rivals, including Brewmeister, who will also be seeking his third straight victory at Gulfstream.

Formerly trained by Chad Brown, Brewmeister finished third June 13 in his first start for Lisa Lewis, before graduating at 6 ½ furlongs July 4 and coming right back to rally from far back to score by a half-length. Ron Allen Jr. has the return call on the 3-year-old gelded son of Point of Entry.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will be highlighted by six juvenile stakes, including the $400,000 In Reality and the $400,000 My Dear Girl, the final legs of the FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes series for 2-year-olds sired by accredited stallions standing in Florida.

The $150,000 FSS Wildcat Heir, a mile stakes for 3-year-olds and up, will kick off the sequence in Race 6, followed by the $75,000 Hollywood Beach, a five-furlong turf sprint; the My Dear Girl, the 1 1/16-mile final for fillies; the $75,000 Armed Forces, a mile turf stakes; the In Reality, the 1 1/16-mile open-division final; and the $75,000 Our Dear Peggy, a mile turf race for fillies.

Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $350,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing program Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $400.32.

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.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, including a $47,000 optional claiming allowance for Florida-bred 3-year-olds and up in Race 8. Trev is scheduled to seek his sixth straight victory in the six-furlong sprint. The 10-year-old gelding's win streak, during which he has won five races by a combined 27 ¼ lengths, dates back to April 12, 2019. The son of Exclusive Quality came off a five-month layoff to win his 2020 debut by two lengths May 20 and will be entering Friday's race off a layoff of nearly four months.

A $60,000 maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds has been carded as Race 6. Gelfenstein Farm's Uncut Gem, a homebred son of Union Rags, is scheduled to make his debut in the mile race that attracted a field of 10.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a $20,000 maiden claiming race for 3-year-olds and up in Race 9, scheduled for a mile on turf. Race 9 will also be included as the second leg in Friday's Stronach 5 sequence. Race 7 at Laurel Park will kick off the Stronach 5 action, followed by Gulfstream's Race 9, Races 8 and 9 at Laurel Park and Race 3 at Golden Gate Fields. The Stronach 5, a $1 base wager with a low 12-percent takeout, will have a guaranteed pool of $100,000.
