Mandatory Payout: Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Wager Features $111,271 Carryover At Gulfstream West

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool will take place Saturday at Gulfstream Park West.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the eighth consecutive program following a $249,204 jackpot hit on Oct. 18. Multiple tickets with six winners were each worth $1,797.10 Friday, leaving a carryover jackpot of $111,271.06 heading into Saturday's program.

The 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 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 whole pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Gulfstream hosts and analysists Ron Nicoletti and Jason Blewitt have handicapped Saturday's mandatory Rainbow 6. Nicoletti's ticket is $97.20 while Blewitt's ticket is $64.80 with a single in the sixth race of Friendly Fella.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, kicked off in Race 4 by a six-furlong sprint that attracted a full field of 12 $8,000 claimers. Rohan Crichton, who has saddled 11 winners from 27 starters during the Gulfstream Park West meet, will be represented by Hard West, who steps up a notch after drawing away to a five-length victory last time out. The Crichton trainee is rated third in the morning line at 9-2 in a most competitive race behind Congrats This, the 7-2 favorite who finished second against better last time out, and Bahamian Prince, who drops to a career low level after finishing two spots behind Congrats This.

A full field of $12,500 claimers will contest Race 5, a 1 1/16-mile race on turf for 3-year-olds and up. Mike is Ready, who is 20-1 in the morning line, gets blinkers after being nosed out in an off-the-turf effort. Senzazione will be well-backed with Paco Lopez aboard for the first time. A seven-furlong sprint for $12,500 claimers, 3-years old and up, follows in Race 6, in which Friendly Fella, who is making his second start off a long layoff, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite.

Joe Bravo makes his return to South Florida Saturday, when he will be aboard Indimaaj in Race 7, a 7 ½-furlong turf races for 3-year-olds and up. Indimaaj finished second in an off-the-turf race last time out. Jane Cibelli-trained Flowmotion, a two-time winner during the Championship Meet at Gulfstream, also make his return to South Florida as the 5-2 morning-line favorite.

Hallawallah, a former Steve Asmussen trainee making her first start for Juan Carlos Avila and Gulfstream Park West debut, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the Race 8 feature, a seven-furlong optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares.

A 6 ½-furlong race for $6,500 claiming fillies and mares concludes the Rainbow 6 sequence in Race 9. Reiterate, a runner-up at the $12.500 claiming level last time out, is rated a strong 6-5 favorite in the morning line in a full field.

Mandatory Payout Scheduled For Saturday’s Rainbow 6 At Gulfstream Park West

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool has been scheduled for Saturday's program at Gulfstream Park West.

Heading into Friday's program, the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for seven consecutive programs following a $249,204 jackpot hit on Oct. 18. Multiple tickets with five out of six winners Thursday were each worth $843.22 Thursday.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $175,000 for Friday's program.

The 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 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 whole pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 3-8, kicked off by a mile optional claiming allowance on turf for state-bred 3-year-olds and up in Race 3. Sassy But Smart, who was beaten by less than two lengths in a fourth-place finish in the Palm Beach (G3) during the Championship Meet, and Till the End, who has been 1-2-3 in last four starts at the level, appear to be the key contenders. Race 4 features a six-furlong sprint for $50,000 maiden claiming 2-year-old fillies. Terry's Dream, a daughter of Jess's Dream who finished second in her recent debut, will be taken on by a pair of first-time starters by California Chrome and Not This Time, and four others. A five-furlong turf dash for Florida-bred fillies and mares follows in Race 5, featuring the return of Daddy's Joy, who graduated in her first start for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. in her first start at Gulfstream Park last time out. In only her third career start, the daughter of Daddy Long Legs will concede considerable experience to her eight rivals.

A seven-furlong maiden special weight race for fillies and mares will start off the second half of the Rainbow 6 sequence in Race 6. Todd Pletcher-trained Abilene Trail, a 3-year-old daughter of Curlin, will return from a 13-month layoff while facing five rivals, including Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Cozy Café, who finished a troubled third in her recent debut. The Rainbow 6 sequence will be wrapped up with a mile race for $8,000 claimers in Race 8 and a 1 1/16-mile turf race for $16,000 maiden claimers, 3-year-olds and up, in Race 9

Promising Juvenile Drain The Clock Stays Undefeated, To Target Stakes Company

Slam Dunk Racing's Drain the Clock stayed undefeated Wednesday at Gulfstream Park West, scoring a length victory in the featured optional claiming allowance for 2-year-olds,

The Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained colt had to work a little harder to prevail over stablemate Worlds On High in the six-furlong sprint than he did in his Sept. 12 debut at Gulfstream Park, where he scored a front-running six-length victory.

Drain the Clock broke alertly but settled just off the early pace contested by Tiger and Worlds On High past fractions of 22.08 and 45.21 seconds for the first half-mile. The son of Maclean's Music swung three-wide off the turn into the homestretch and mounted an extended stretch drive to overtake Worlds on High, who is trained by Joseph for Don and Rebecca Ming.

“He sat off there nicely and came under some pressure at the quarter-pole. I thought once he switched leads late by the three-eighths pole, he started going away,” Joseph said. “It was a workmanlike performance. Hopefully, he'll continue to build on that.”

Drain the Clock ($4.20) ran six furlongs in 1:10.67. Samy Camacho picked up the mount from leading rider Edgard Zayas, whose wife gave birth to their second daughter Wednesday.

Drain the Clock is expected to run in a stakes next time out.

Joseph was also extremely pleased with the performance of Worlds On High, who had debuted with a victory in a Sept. 18 $50,000 maiden claiming race at Gulfstream.

“He's a big trier. Today, he really ran big,” Joseph said. “I think World On High is a really nice horse also. He wasn't far off today.”

Worlds On High, who was ridden by apprentice Alberto Burgos, finished 1 ¾ lengths clear of third-place finisher The Distractor.
