The 20-cent Rainbow 6 Gross Jackpot Pool will be guaranteed for $500,000 Wednesday at Gulfstream Park after going unsolved for the sixth straight racing day since a mandatory payout on Pegasus World Cup Day.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 3-8 on the Wednesday card that will get under way at 12:30 p.m. The sequence will be kicked off by a maiden special weight race on Tapeta that attracted several well-bred, well-connected 3-year-old fillies.
Trainer Christophe Clement is represented by two fillies in the mile-and-70-yard event – Myriskyaffair, a first-time starter by Verrazano and Adelie, an Irish-bred filly who finished in a dead-heat for second, a neck behind the winner, in a Tampa Bay Downs maiden race on turf Dec. 11. Chad Brown-trained Oakhurst, a daughter of Mr. Speaker, will make her second start at Gulfstream after finishing a very wide fourth from a far-outside post on turf. Todd Pletcher-trained Platinum Moon, a daughter of Malibu Moon, and Silverleaf, a Kenny McPeek-trained daughter of Speightster, are scheduled to debut in the nine-horse field.
The Rainbow 6 jackpot is 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.
