$325,000 Rainbow 6 Jackpot Guarantee Saturday At Gulfstream Park West; Two Stakes In Sequence

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $325,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park West in Miami Gardens, Fla., where the $60,000 Millions Turf Preview and the $60,000 Juvenile Fillies Turf will highlight the popular multi-race wager's six-race sequence (Races 4-9).

Anne Scott's Galleon Mast is scheduled to seek his third-straight running of the Millions Turf Preview in the mile turf race for Florida-bred 3-year-olds and up. The David Fawkes-trained gelding's two Turf Preview wins are also his only successes in his last 10 starts. Paco Lopez, who was aboard for those two wins the only two times he's ridden the son of Mizzen Mast during that period, returns to the saddle. Rancho Alegre's Monforte, who has won six of his last seven starts, will seek his third straight stakes score in the Turf Preview, which is carded as Race 5.

Arindel's Quinoa Tifah will look for back-to-back stakes wins in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, a mile stakes for Florida-bred 2-year-old fillies on turf carded as Race 7. The Juan Alvarado-trained daughter of Gemologist will seek her first win on turf after capturing the off-the-turf Our Dear Peggy at Gulfstream last time out. Live Oak Plantation's Sweet Souper Sweet will also seek her first win on turf which notching back-to-back stakes scores. The daughter of First Samurai is coming off an impressive victory in the Presque Isle Downs Debutante over a synthetic track.

A well-stocked maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds has been programmed between the two stakes races in Race 6. Todd Pletcher-trained Deemed Essential has been installed as the 6-5 morning-line favorite off a strong debut effort over a sloppy Gulfstream Park West track Oct. 10. Lets Go Stable's daughter of Upstart rallied to finish a head off the winner at Saturday's 6 ½-furlong distance. Whisper Hill Farm LLC's Dance Awhile, a Ralph Nicks-trained daughter of Curlin; Al Rashid Stables LLC's Mizzen, a Juan Carlos Avila-trained daughter of Street Sense; and Harold Lerner LLC, Magdalena Racing and Nehoc Stables' The Jokes On Me, a Kenny McPeek-trained daughter of Mshawish are scheduled to debut in Race 6.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 13^th straight racing day Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $5,824.92.

The jackpot pool 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 Super Hi-5 carryover of $9,297.17 heading into Saturday's program.

Hot Blooded Looking To Heat Up Again In Juvenile Turf At Gulfstream Park West

Palm Beach Racing Partnership's stakes winner Hot Blooded, once under consideration for the Breeders' Cup, ends a 12-week gap between starts when he makes his return in Saturday's $60,000 Juvenile Turf at Gulfstream Park West.

By Declaration of War, Hot Blooded has raced exclusively at Gulfstream Park in three starts. He debuted running fourth against fellow Florida-breds June 24 after bobbling and having to steady at the start, returning four weeks later to graduate in a seven-furlong maiden special weight that was rained off the grass.

Hot Blooded was then stepped up into stakes company in the one-mile Proud Man Aug. 29. Under Emisael Jaramillo, who rides back from outside Post 10, Hot Blooded settled off the early pace before tipping outside to take a short lead into the stretch, drawing clear to win by 2 1/4 lengths.

Trainer Carlos David said the connections thought enough of Hot Blooded to plot out a course to the Breeders' Cup that included a start in the Oct. 4 Grade 2 Bourbon Stakes, which offered the winner automatic entry to the Nov. 6 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, both races at Keeneland.

A minor mishap at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County where David is based, nixed the idea.

“We had a little hiccup with him,” David said. “He needed to go to Keeneland the first week of October and he got loose and just got scraped and banged up a little bit so we had to pass on the Breeders' Cup. Obviously, the Bourbon was a 'Win and You're In' but, unfortunately, we couldn't do it. We decided to just stay here and train him toward this race. He's doing really good, really good.”

Hot Blooded has worked twice at Palm Meadows since overcoming his setback, half-mile breezes in 49.80 second Oct. 24 and 49.30 seconds Nov. 1.

“Since he got loose and got banged up just days before he would have gone out [to Kentucky], we had to just take it easy with him and try to get him back to his form,” David said. “He's had a couple of good workouts. This seems like a logical spot. It's a good race for him to come back.”

Stonehedge's Seazan is entered to make his turf debut after finishing third in the final two legs of the Florida Sire Stakes, the Aug. 29 Affirmed and the Sept. 26 In Reality. The son of Khozan has yet to finish worse than third in four starts, including a maiden special weight triumph Aug. 1 and more than $118,000 in purse earnings.

Jerry Campbell's Castle King is also multiple stakes-placed, having run third in the Proud Man behind Hot Blooded and seven-furlong Armed Forces Sept. 26. Most recently, the Verrazano gelding was second in an optional claiming allowance Oct. 26 over the Gulfstream West turf.

Armed Forces runner-up Fulmini, Catching Fish, Chess's Dream, El Sicario, Light Us Up and Toretto complete the field. Big Thorn is entered for main track only.

Picara Seeks Third Straight Millions Filly And Mare Turf Preview Score

P & G Stables Picara, yet to register her first victory of the year, looks to regain her winning form in a familiar spot as she goes for her third straight triumph in the $60,000 Millions Filly and Mare Turf Preview Saturday at Gulfstream Park West.

The 7 1/2-furlong Filly and Mare Turf Preview for females three and older is one of two stakes for Florida-breds on the nine-race program, along with the $60,000 Juvenile Turf for 2-year-olds going one mile. First race post time is 12:35 p.m.

Picara, a 5-year-old, won the Filly and Mare Turf Preview for the first time in November 2018 to cap her sophomore season for previous trainer Todd Pletcher. The Turbo Compressor mare returned from a five-month break last August with Gulfstream West-based Jorge Delgado to rally from off the pace to defend her title by three-quarters of a length at odds of 28-1.

“She has been training very good, she's fresh, and she seems to love this track,” Delgado said. “She seems to love the grass here, I don't know why. Maybe it's hard and she likes that. She loves the surface.

“She has won this stakes twice and this will be the third time that she can win it. She won it last time at [big odds], and she's doing better this year,” he added. “She is more mature and more focused and having a good time right now.”

Picara has four wins from six lifetime starts at Gulfstream West, and was second after setting the pace in a seven-furlong optional claiming allowance Oct. 23, an off-the-turf race in what was her first start since finishing off the board in the one-mile In the Breeze Stakes July 5 at Gulfstream Park.

Starting with last year's Filly and Mare Turf Preview Picara had run in seven consecutive stakes, three coming at Gulfstream's Championship Meet last winter. She was third in the 1 1/16-mile Ginger Punch June 6.

“She has been running over her head a little bit. The stakes she ran in the beginning of the year were too tough for her, but she still showed up and she ran good. She had a break and when she came back and she had to run in the slop, and she ran a good second,” Delgado said. “We wanted to give her a preparation for this race and she couldn't run on the grass that day, but it still worked out pretty good for us because she ran good.

“She came back fresh, she gained weight and she was a different horse when she came back,” he added. “She's eating better, doing everything better and she has been training really, really well.”

Joe Bravo is named to ride Picara, who will be looking to surpass $200,000 in purse earnings, from Post 2 in an overflow field of 16 that includes main-track-only entrants Crumb Bun, R Prerogative, Sayonara Baby and Thisismytime.

CJ Thoroughbreds' Bienville Street was one of the favorites in last year's Filly and Mare Turf Preview, finishing fourth, beaten 3 1/2 lengths. The 5-year-old mare also has yet to win in 2020, coming with a neck of capturing the Monroe Stakes Sept. 7 at Gulfstream. She hasn't raced since running third in a one-mile optional claiming allowance Sept. 27.

First on the also-eligible list, Hallmarc Racing's homebred filly Centsless Drama is looking to break a string of three consecutive runner-up finishes, the last two in one-mile optional claiming allowance company Aug. 20 and Sept. 27 at Gulfstream.

Last out, Centsless Drama was 1 3/4 lengths behind Mo of the West, who also shows up in the Filly and Mare Turf Preview, and 3 1/4 lengths ahead of beaten favorite Dynatown in fifth. Both horses are trained by U.S. and Canadian Hall of Famer Mark Casse, who won his 3,000th career race Thursday at Gulfstream West.

“She's been second, second, second in really tough races. I ran her in an open allowance last time against two of Mark Casse's very nice, well-bred fillies,” trainer Carlos David said. “She's all right, and I think this definitely suits her running style. Every time she goes a mile and a sixteenth she gets beat because she's a front-runner, and she's very hard to rate. She just kind of takes the lead and she doesn't want to give it up.

“When she goes past a mile is when she struggles a little bit, but she should be able to handle the ground,” he added. “I think the distance is going to help, although there's a couple horses, sprinters, in there that are probably going to chase me around there which is not ideal, but I think she can do a good job.”

David won two stakes last weekend at Gulfstream West – the Millions Sprint Preview with Legal Deal and Juvenile Fillies Sprint with Shea D Summer.

“It was good,” he said. “I'm really happy when the horses run well for everybody. It's been kind of challenging with the weather and everything else this year.”

Hear My Prayer, winner of the Melody of Colors sprinting five furlongs on the Gulfstream turf March 21; multiple stakes-placed Starship Nala; Aizu, Amadora, High On Gin, Lookinlikeaqueen, Lovely Luvy and Sweet Hitch Hiker are also entered.
