Gulfstream Park: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $1.5 Million

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.5 million Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved for the 12th straight racing day Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $3,993.54.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is scheduled for Saturday's 12-race program, which will also feature the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint (G3) and the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint (G3).

The jackpot pool 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.

WHO'S HOT: Tyler Gaffalione and Luis Saez scored hat tricks. Gaffalione won three aboard Malroux ($8.80) in Race 5, Stripping ($6.80) in Race 6, and Lauda Speed ($9.80) in Race 8. Luis Saez scored aboard Exact ($3) in Race 1, Por Que No ($8.40) in Race 7 and Breaking Alone ($8.80) in Race 10.

Paco Lopez won back-to-back aboard Free To Fly ($3.60) in Race 3 and Philly Special ($5.60) in Race 4.

Friday’s Stronach 5 Features Racing From Four Different Tracks

The Stronach 5 will have competitive fields from Laurel Park, Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields as well as an industry-low 12-percent takeout come Friday afternoon.

The Stronach 5, which continues to offer a strong return on investment, begins at 3:59 ET.

The sequence kicks off with Laurel's eighth race, a $42,000 allowance event for 4-year-olds and up with an 8-5 favorite in Gentleman Joe. The 5-year-old will be equipped with blinkers for trainer Hamilton Smith. Trainer Miguel Vera sends out two. Prince James, a 4-year-old son of Tiznow who sold for $150,000 as a 2-year-old, enters off a second-place finish Jan. 3 at Laurel after spending the fall at Gulfstream Park and Gulfstream Park West. Vera will also saddle The Revenger.

Gulfstream's seventh race will serve as the second leg in the Stronach 5. The allowance optional claimer at a mile on the turf appears to be wide open with Whatmakessammyrun a tepid 3-1 choice breaking from the far outside 12 post for trainer George Weaver and jockey Luis Saez. Repole Stable's Hyperfocus makes his turf debut after a fifth-place finish in June in the Bashford Manor (G3). Easy Time will also make his turf debut for trainer Mark Casse after an eighth-place finish Jan. 2 in the Mucho Macho Man.

The Stronach 5 returns to Laurel for the ninth race, a wide open seven furlong claiming event with Company Clown the 3-1 favorite for leading trainer Claudio Gonzalez. Fine N Dandy ships in from Penn National for trainer Tim Ritchey.

The fourth leg of the sequence will be Santa Anita's third race, a starter optional claimer for 3-year-old fillies at 6 ½ furlongs on the turf. Disko Fever, trained by Richard Baltas, broke his maiden last time out by 3 ½ lengths at Santa Anita.

The Stronach 5 concludes with Golden Gate's second race, an $8,000 maiden claimer for 3-year-old fillies. Wildly Dramatic is the 9-5 favorite off a second-place finish Jan. 29 against similar company. You're All Talk, trained by Peter Eurton, drops in from $35,000 maiden company while trainer Jonathan Wong will send out first-time starter Street Dancing.

Friday's races and sequence

  • Leg One – Laurel Park 8th Race: (10 entries, 1 mile) 3:59 ET, 12:59 PT
  • Leg Two – Gulfstream Park 7th Race: (12 entries, 1-mile turf) 4:12 ET, 1:12 PT

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.

Gulfstream’s ‘Canter For The Cause’ To Support Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance

Gulfstream Park will once again provide equine owners and enthusiasts a unique experience to walk, trot or canter their horse across the legendary track when it plays host to the second Canter for the Cause on Monday, March 15.

Participants will choose from three groups (walk, trot, canter) when registering. All participants will have a chance to have their pictures taken in the winner's circle by Gulfstream Park. All riders must wear helmets, proper boots or shoes, and face coverings. All horses must have a valid and current Coggins to show at registration. Temperature checks will be taken upon entrance.

Entries close Monday, March 8, 2021 at 5 p.m. There is no day of registration.

Registration is $50. All proceeds from the event will go to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredits, inspects, and awards grants to approved aftercare organizations to retrain, retire, and rehome Thoroughbreds using industry-wide funding.

Canter for the Cause is sponsored by Gulfstream Park and the Florida Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.

Participants will need to register by 10 a.m. the day of Canter for the Cause. The first group will go out at 11 a.m.

“This was such a well-received event last year for all the participants and volunteers that we wanted to hold it again within state and local health protocols, as well as our own,” said Mike Lakow, Vice President of Racing at Gulfstream. “Canter for the Cause is a great way to raise awareness for Thoroughbred aftercare. We know this year's event will be a memorable one.”

“The TAA is thrilled to once again be the beneficiary at Gulfstream Park's Canter for the Cause,” Stacie Clark, Operations Consultant for the TAA. “The inaugural 2019 event was a resounding success and was sorely missed in 2020. The TAA is grateful for Gulfstream Park's dedication to accredited Thoroughbred aftercare and looks forward to a fun day on the track.”
