Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $350,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing program Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $400.32.

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.

Friday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, including a $47,000 optional claiming allowance for Florida-bred 3-year-olds and up in Race 8. Trev is scheduled to seek his sixth straight victory in the six-furlong sprint. The 10-year-old gelding's win streak, during which he has won five races by a combined 27 ¼ lengths, dates back to April 12, 2019. The son of Exclusive Quality came off a five-month layoff to win his 2020 debut by two lengths May 20 and will be entering Friday's race off a layoff of nearly four months.

A $60,000 maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds has been carded as Race 6. Gelfenstein Farm's Uncut Gem, a homebred son of Union Rags, is scheduled to make his debut in the mile race that attracted a field of 10.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude with a $20,000 maiden claiming race for 3-year-olds and up in Race 9, scheduled for a mile on turf. Race 9 will also be included as the second leg in Friday's Stronach 5 sequence. Race 7 at Laurel Park will kick off the Stronach 5 action, followed by Gulfstream's Race 9, Races 8 and 9 at Laurel Park and Race 3 at Golden Gate Fields. The Stronach 5, a $1 base wager with a low 12-percent takeout, will have a guaranteed pool of $100,000.

Kathy Ritvo-trained Double Crown will also be seeking his third straight victory while coming off back-to-back stakes scores in the Roar and the Carry Back at Gulfstream.

Ruben Gracida-trained Monforte, who finished second in the Aug. 8 Not Surprising while coming off a six-month layoff, is rated as the 7-5 morning-line favorite for the Bear's Den, a 7 ½-furlong turf stakes for 3-year-olds and up. Monforte, who had won his four previous races, will be challenged by Cadet Connelly, a Grade 1 stakes-placed 3-year-old gelding, and Sassy But Smart, who is slated to make his first start since finishing a close fourth in the Feb. 29 Palm Beach (G3) at Gulfstream.

Mark Casse-trained Mo of the West will go for his third win in a row while making her stakes debut in the Miss Gracie, a 7 ½-furlong turf stakes for fillies and mares.

Labor Day Weekend stakes action will continue on Sunday with the running of the $75,000 Benny the Bull and the $75,000 Sheer Drama and on Monday with the $75,000 Mr. Steel and the $75,000 Monroe.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the third racing day in a row Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $7,412.80.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed pool of $200,000 and will include the $100,000 Smile Sprint (G3), $75,000 Miss Gracie and $75,000 Bear's Den. The Miss Gracie and Bear's Ben will be contested on the turf.

There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $1,761.30.

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.
