Formful Stronach 5 From Gulfstream, Golden Gate Yields $617.80 Payout

The Stronach 5 returned multiple payoffs of $617.80 following a rather formful sequence Friday.

The Stronach 5, the multi-race, multi-track wager that features an industry-low 12 percent takeout, offered a sequence with three straight races from Gulfstream Park, followed by two from Golden Gate Fields. There were 146 tickets that correctly selected all five winners.

The Stronach 5 sequence was kicked off at Gulfstream Park with a late-closing victory by Bob Hess Jr.-trained C'Mon Karen ($8.80) in Race 7, a six-furlong starter optional claiming allowance.  Making his first start for trainer Carlos David, Grade 1-placed Kroy ($4.60) won the second leg of the Stronach 5 in Race 8 at Gulfstream via the disqualification of the first-place finisher, Til The End, in the featured 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance on turf. Christophe Clement-trained Mumbai ($3.20) captured Gulfstream's Race 9, a maiden special weight event for 3-year-olds on turf, before the Stronach 5 action switched to Golden Gate Fields for the final two legs.

Blaine Wright-trained Wahasha ($11) registered a front-running victory in Golden Gate Fields' Race 3, a five-furlong sprint for $8,000 claiming maidens, before Jonathan Wong-trained Tyler's Tek ($10.40) closed out the Stronach 5 sequence with a victory in Race 4, a mile turf race for $6,250 claimers.

Friday’s Stronach 5 Features Racing From Gulfstream, Golden Gate

Three races from Gulfstream Park and two from Golden Gate Fields, including three turf races, will highlight Friday's Stronach 5.

The Stronach 5, with an industry-low 12-percent takeout, will begin with three consecutive races from Gulfstream before concluding with two from Golden Gate.

The sequence begins with Gulfstream's seventh race, a starter optional claimer at six furlongs for 3-year-old fillies and a 2-1 favorite breaking from the rail in Briella, claimed two races back by trainer Kelly Breen for $50,000. Paco Lopez has the mount. Breaking alongside the favorite is Pulling Strings, who broke her maiden last time out by 6 ½ lengths for a $12,500 claiming tag. Edgard Zayas has the mount.

Gulfstream's eight race, an allowance optional claimer for state-bred 4-year-olds and up at 1 1/16 mile on the turf, drew a field of eight with an 8-5 favorite in Kroy, a winner of $415,000 claimed last out by Carlos David. Til the End draws the rail after breaking from the 12 post last out going a mile on the turf. Saffie Joseph Jr. trains.

Gulfstream's ninth race, the third leg of the Stronach 5, is a maiden special weight event for fillies and mares at five furlongs on the turf. The field of nine has a 2-1 favorite in Mumbai for trainer Christophe Clement and jockey Paco Lopez, who was beaten by a neck last time out under similar conditions. Trainers Ralph Nicks, Georgina Baxter and Michael McDonald all send out first-time starters.

The action heads west and Golden Gate for the final two legs of the Stronach 5. A dozen maiden claiming 3-year-old fillies go five furlongs in Race 3 at Golden Gate. It's a wide-open affair with Winning Appeal, second in three of her last four starts, the 5-2 favorite. Blaine Wright will saddle Don't Rub It, second or third in her last four starts.

The Stronach 5 concludes with Golden Gate's fourth race, a claiming event for eight 3-year-olds and up at a mile on the turf. Pioneerofthestorm (5-2) and Blackout (3-1) break from posts seven and eight, respectively. Blackout has registered seven wins on the turf while Pioneerofthestorm has placed in five of eight starts on the turf.

Gulfstream Park: Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Saturday; Friday’s Jackpot Has $800,000 Guarantee

A mandatory 20-cent Rainbow 6 payout is set for Saturday's program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where the pool is expected to swell into the multi-millions should the popular multi-race wager go unsolved Friday.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved Thursday for the 10th racing day in a row since a mandatory payout on the March 27 Curlin Florida Derby (G1) program. Friday's Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $800,000. Tickets with all six winners were each worth $31,240.54 Thursday.

The Rainbow 6 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 usually 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 entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, including full fields and four turf races, with a weekend forecast calling for sunny skies and a negligible chance of rain.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9 and will also include four highly competitive turf races.

Todd Pletcher-trained Exact will seek his third-straight victory in Race 4 while taking a jump from claiming company into the five-furlong optional claiming starter allowance on turf for 3-year-old fillies. The daughter of Competitive Edge graduated by 4 ¾ lengths in a $16,000 maiden claiming race while going from dirt to turf. She came right back to win a $35,000 claiming race by 4 ¾ lengths in a five-furlong turf dash last time out.

In Race 6, a field of 3-year-olds will contest a five-furlong optional claiming allowance on turf featuring the 2021 debut of Mark Casse-trained Bright Devil. The Irish-bred son of Dark Angel, who broke his maiden at first asking last June at Newmarket, has been unraced since finishing seventh in the Futurity (G3) at Belmont in his U.S. debut Oct. 11.

Grade 1 stakes-placed Kroy will make his first start since joining Carlos David's stable through a claim in Race 8, a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance for Florida-breds on turf. Kroy, who finished second in the 2017 Mathis Mile (G1) at Del Mar, is coming off a front-running victory in the same condition.

A maiden special weight race for fillies and mares at five furlongs on turf will wrap up the Rainbow 6 sequence. Ralph Nicks-trained Wise Memories, a daughter of Tapit who is scheduled to make her debut, is a half sister to Wickedly Perfect, who captured the 2010 Alcibiades (G1) at Keeneland.

Earlier on Friday's Program, the 2021 juvenile racing season at Gulfstream will kick off in Race 2, a $65,000 maiden special weight race that attracted four colts and three fillies.

Gulfstream’s Juvenile Racing Season Kicks Off Friday

The racing season for 2-year-olds at Gulfstream Park will kick off Friday, when a field of four colts and three fillies are scheduled to debut in a $65,000 maiden special weight event.

Carded as Race 2, the 4 ½-furlong dash has attracted several entrants with stakes pedigrees, including Noble Present, a half-sister to Ceci Valentina, a multiple-stakes winner who has earned more than $277,000. Noble Present's owner/breeder Amalio Ruiz-Lozano and trainer Angel Rodriguez campaigned Ceci Valentina, who captured the $200,000 Florida Sire Stakes Susan's Girl at Gulfstream, as well as Gulfstream Park West's Juvenile Filly Sprint, in 2019.

Noble Present was sired by Noble Bird, a Grade 1 winner who earned more than $1.3 million. Rodriguez is also scheduled to saddle Ruiz-Lozano's Rayo, a Florida-bred son of Long Island Sound. Leonel Reyes has the mount aboard Noble Present, while Jesus Rios has the call on Rayo.

Arindel's Quinoa Tifah kicked off the 2020 juvenile racing season at Gulfstream will an upset victory last April. Arindel will be represented in Friday's race by Merlin, a homebred son of Brethren who is a full brother to multiple stakes-placed Genghis. Edgard Zayas has the call aboard the Arindel homebred.

Super Super Stable's Wow Tapit will bring a solid pedigree into Friday's race. The Amador Sanchez-trained daughter of Cairo Prince is out of a Tapit mare whose second dam is Saoirse, a multiple-graded stakes winner in Canada and the U.S. who won the 2000 Sovereign Award as Canada's champion older filly or mare. Hector Berrios has been named to ride the filly who was bred in Kentucky by Calumet.

Joker Racing LLC's Kitodan, a son of Point of Entry out of an Unbridled's Song mare, is set to debut for trainer Jorge Delgado. Kitodan is a half-brother to graded stakes-placed Market King, who ran without success in the 2019 Preakness (G1). Paco Lopez, who celebrated reaching the 3000-win milestone Saturday, has the mount.

Owner/trainer Daniel Pita enjoyed success last year with juvenile filly Princess Secret, who won her debut before going on to win the $200,000 FSS Susan's Girl and $400,000 FSS My Dear Girl. Pita's Broadway Belle, a daughter of Khozan whose dam was stakes-placed five times, is set to debut in Friday's race. Miguel Vasquez has the call on the Florida-bred filly.

Bella Inizio Farm's LLC's Laki Lio, a Jenna Antonucci-trained son of Ride on Curlin, rounds out the field. Angel Arroyo has been named to ride the homebred colt.

Several entrants are eligible for the 2021 Florida Sire Stakes series that will get underway in August.
