The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Wednesday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing day Sunday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $880.60.
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.
There will also be a $4,193.03 Super Hi-5 carryover heading into Wednesday's program.
Pletcher-Trained Tamiami Has Bright Florida Sire Stakes Future
AIA Racing LLC's Tamiami showed abundant resilience in the face of adversity in her career debut at Gulfstream Park Sunday, overcoming a stumbling start to rally for a narrow victory in Race 2, a five-furlong maiden special weight event for Florida-bred 2-year-old fillies.
The Todd Pletcher-trained filly stamped herself as a prominent prospect for the upcoming Florida Sire Stakes series that will get under way Aug. 1.
The homebred daughter of Rattlesnake Bridge, who was favored at 6-5, impressed jockey Edgard Zayas with her determination while competing against eight other Florida Sire Stakes-eligible fillies.
“She didn't break as good as we were expecting. I've worked her in the morning and she's been doing really good. I thought for sure she was going to break very sharp, but it changed our plans when she stumbled out of the gate,” Zayas said. “She kept trying and running and finished really good. I think she has a bright future.”
Tamiami rallied from eighth to win by a head over Frankly My Dear, a daughter of Jess's Dream who set a pressured pace and fought on to the wire.
Zayas, the Spring Meet's leading jockey, rode four winners on Sunday's program, including Gelfenstein Farms LLC's Summer Kid ($8.20), an impressive maiden winner in Race 6. The Gustavo Delgado-trained 3-year-old son of Lemon Drop Kid made an impressive four-wide sweep to the lead coming off the turn into the homestretch and pulled away to a 3 ¾-length triumph in the mile maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds and up. Pletcher-trained 4-year-old Tatweej, a $2.5 million yearling purchase, finished third after chasing a solid early pace in his belated debut.
The 26-year-old defending Spring Meet champion also scored aboard Calentita ($6.80) in Race 3 and My Sarasota Star ($6.20) in Race 8.
Tiz the Law Carries on Florida Derby Tradition with Belmont Win
Tiz the Law's victory in Saturday's Belmont Stakes (G1) represented the 17th time a starter from the Florida Derby (G1) has won the prestigious classic event.
Tiz the Law, who captured the March 28 Curlin Florida Derby by 4 ¼ lengths at Gulfstream Park, also became the 60th winner of a Triple Crown event to have started in Gulfstream's signature race for 3-year-olds.
Tiz the Law, the son of 2014 Florida Derby winner Constitution, was stabled throughout the winter at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training center in Palm Beach County, with trainer Barclay Tagg. Sackatoga Stable and Tagg, who teamed for Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness (G1) wins in 2003 with Funny Cide, got their Belmont Stakes victory 17 years later with another talented New York-bred.
A winner of the Champagne Stakes (G1) at Belmont last year, Tiz the Law kicked off his 3-year-old season by winning the Feb. 1 Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream before dominating the Florida Derby.
