Gulfstream: Thursday’s Rainbow 6 Pool Guaranteed At $750,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $750,000 Thursday at Gulfstream Park.

Gulfstream will offer live racing programs on a Thursday through Sunday schedule for the remainder of the Spring/Summer Meet.

The Rainbow 6 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.

Thursday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10, including a $54,500 optional claiming allowance for 3-year-old fillies. Multiple-stakes winner Lenzi's Lucky Lady is scheduled to return from an 11-month layoff in the six-furlong sprint. The Kathleen O'Connell-trained filly was undefeated in her first three starts, including victories in the Golden Isles and the Florida Sire Stakes Desert Vixen, before finishing sixth in the FSS Susan's Girl and going to the sidelines.

Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Pool At Gulfstream Park Guaranteed For $650,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $650,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the ninth consecutive racing day Friday, when multiple tickets with six winners were each worth $3,034.14.

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 spans Races 7-12, including the $60,000 Sea of Tranquility in Race 11.

Kenny McPeek-trained Harvey Wallbanger, who pulled off a 29-1 upset victory in the 2019 Holy Bull (G2) at Gulfstream, is scheduled to return off a 10-week layoff in the 1 1/16-mile overnight stakes for 3-year-olds and up.

Kukulkan, the 2018 Mexican Triple Crown winner who captured the Copa Confraternidad del Caribe by six lengths during the Championship Meet, is set to come off a six-month layoff Saturday in search of his third stakes victory over the Gulfstream track.

Multiple-stakes winner Noble Drama, Hal's Hope (G3) 60-1 upset winner Identifier, Coaltown Handicap victor Eye of a Jedi, Sunshine Millions Sprint Preview winner Red Crescent, and Rough and Ready winner Quenane round out the field.

Straight Fire 6: Indiana Grand Adds New Jackpot Wager

Indiana Grand is adding a new gimmick to its wagering platform. The Straight Fire 6, a jackpot Pick 6 wager, will be offered, and to help initiate the wager, a unique world record will ignite the bet in Race 2 Monday, July 20.

“We are always looking for ways to promote our racing product and thought it would be fun to kickstart our Straight Fire 6 with a $100 guaranteed pool, which will be the lowest in the world,” laughed Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing. “With all the serious issues going on right now, we wanted to add some humor into the launch of our Straight Fire 6. We had an employee contest to name the wager and the $100 guaranteed pool gives us the distinction of setting another record – the lowest guaranteed pool of all-time!”

The Straight Fire 6 will join a list of similar wagers across the United States offering a jackpot format. The wager needs one unique ticket to take the “jackpot” or the entire pool. If there are multiple tickets with all six winners, then 50 percent of the pool will be paid out and the remaining 50 percent goes into the carryover. The Straight Fire 6 is offered daily beginning in Race 2 and extending through Race 7.

Live racing continues through Wednesday, Nov. 18 with action held Monday through Thursday beginning at 2:20 p.m. Three more Saturday programs are slated for all-Quarter Horse days Aug. 8, Oct. 23 and Oct. 24.
