Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6 Solved Thursday For $159,442 Payout

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 was solved by one lucky bettor for a $159,442.38 jackpot payout Thursday at Gulfstream Park.

Live Oak Plantation homebred Quality Review ($8.60) was one of four horses live to take down the jackpot heading into the 10th race finale, edging School Dance by a half-length to complete the winning 3-5-3-4-4-1 combination.

Other winners in the sequence were War of Ages ($13.60) in Race 5, Crumb Bun ($12.20) in Race 6, Make No Mistake ($11.20) in Race 7, Oriental Trigger ($53.80) in Race 8 and Mezcal ($3.40) in Race 9.

Thursday marked the third time in five racing days that the Rainbow 6 was hit. It was solved for a life-changing $1,200,305.88 on Jan. 7, one day before a mandatory payout returned $100,823.22.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is 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.

The Rainbow 6 begins anew Friday with a $50,000 gross jackpot pool guarantee starting in Race 5, a claiming event for 4-year-olds and up scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on the turf that drew a field of 10 including morning line top choice Bright Devil, racing first off the claim for trainer Bobby Dibona.

The feature comes in Race 9, a 5 ½-furlong optional claiming allowance for Florida-bred fillies and mares 4 and up where Jacks or Better Farm's American of Course is the 9-5 program favorite. Trained by Kathleen O'Connell, the 5-year-old mare won three straight last spring and summer and returned from a seven-month layoff to run third Dec. 16 at Gulfstream.

Races 9 and 10, a 1 1/16-mile claiming event scheduled for the turf, are also respectively the second and final legs of the national weekly Stronach 5 wager that begins at Santa Anita and also includes Golden Gate Fields.

The sequence starts off at 4:33 ET with Santa Anita's third race, a $75,000 maiden event for 3-year-old fillies going six furlongs. The nine-horse field includes first-time starters from trainers John Sadler, Michael McCarthy and George Papaprodromou.

The filly makes her first start since March and comes into the race off a 'bullet' work. Lady Skywalker gets blinkers on, Sugar Plum has blinkers off.

It's back to Santa Anita for Race 4, a 1 /8-mile turf event for $50,000 maiden claiming 4-year-olds and up. Nothngoodcomseasy goes out for trainer Doug O'Neill. The son of Medaglia d'Oro lacked room when finishing fifth by three lengths on the turf Nov. 7. Street Ruckus gets back on the turf where he finished fourth, beaten two lengths, in October.

Friday’s Stronach 5 Features Four Tracks, Two Turf Races, 12-Percent Takeout

Over the course of approximately one hour, Friday's Stronach 5 will feature races from Laurel Park, Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park and Golden Gate Fields, a low 12-percent takeout, full fields, and two turf races.

The action begins at 4:28 ET.

Laurel's ninth race, a $10,000 claimer at seven furlongs, starts the Stronach 5. The wide-open field of 14 fillies and mares includes Bellswillberinging from the barn of Gary Contessa. The daughter of Mosler drops in class. Icy Harbor, part of a Dove Houghton-trained entry, shortens in distance after finishing ninth on a muddy track. His previous race over a fast track produced a third-place finish. El Bochinche enters off a second-place finish for trainer John Robb.

The Stronach 5 heads west for the second leg, Santa Anita's third race. The 1 1/8-mile turf event for 4-year-olds and up for $25,0000 claimers has an 8-5 favorite in Keystone Field. The Richard Mandella-trained gelding drops in class after finishing fourth, beaten two lengths, in allowance conditions at Del Mar. The second-place finisher in that race came back to win under allowance conditions. Stage Ready goes out second off a $40,000 claim for trainer Jeff Mullins. John Velazquez is named to ride. Graded stakes winner Cleopatra's Strike, who has five seconds at the distance in seven starts, seeks his first win since the 2019 John Henry Turf (G2).

Gulfstream's ninth race, a $62,500 allowance optional claimer at 6 ½ furlongs for 4-year-olds and up, drew a field of nine including Shadwell Stable's Mutasaabeq, who will make his first start for trainer Todd Pletcher in a year. The Into Mischief colt won the Bourbon (G2) on the turf as a juvenile before going to the sidelines after winning the Mucho Macho Man in his only start as a 3-year-old. Luis Saez has the call. Bank On Shea will make his first start at Gulfstream after winning restricted races for New York breds at two and four. Irad Ortiz Jr. rides for Carlos David.

Golden Gate's third race will serve as the fourth leg of the Stronach 5. The six-furlong claiming event for 4-year-olds and up drew a field of seven with a 2-1 favorite in Mohawk King, an Irish-bred who drops in class and gets blinkers for trainer Simon Callaghan. Mohawk King finished fifth in his last start behind Freeport Joe, who has won two consecutive races including the Berkeley Handicap (G3). Mohawk King will likely be joined on the lead or as part of the pace by Knockout Bert, who has finished in the money in seven of nine starts at Golden Gate. Foster Boi goes for his fifth win at Golden Gate in eight starts.

Gulfstream's 10th race concludes the Stronach 5. The one-mile turf event, a maiden optional claimer for 4-year-olds and up, has a 5-2 favorite in Eagle Chief, who breaks from the rail after being claimed by Paradise Farms Corp and trainer Mike Maker for $50,000 at Del Mar in November. Eagle Chief, a son of Into Mischief, is winless in 11 starts. Tyler Gaffalione rides. Golden Indy, fifth in his debut Dec. 16 for trainer Jonathan Thomas, returns with Paco Lopez in the saddle.

Leg One –Laurel Race 9: (14 entries, 7 furlongs) 4:28 ET, 1:28 PT

New Year’s Eve At Aqueduct Features Double Pick 6 Carryover Of $195K, Mandatory Payout

Friday's nine-race card at Aqueduct Racetrack will be bolstered by a double Pick 6 carryover of $195,762 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Thursday. Friday will also offer a mandatory payout as the calendar year comes to a close.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $765 for the selection of 5-of-6 winners correctly.

The Pick 6 sequence began on Thursday in Race 3 when Anything Pazible [No. 1, $33.20] upset a state-bred allowance for 3-year-olds and up at odds of 15-1 under Jacqueline Davis for trainer Eduardo Jones.

The Robert Falcone, Jr.-trained Hoopla [No. 2, $3.30] provided the only win by a favorite on the card in Race 4, bounding away to a 2 ¾-length claiming victory with apprentice rider Christian Ramos up to give Falcone, Jr. his first of two wins on the card.

Inevtabl Conection [No. 2, $7] was ridden by Kendrick Carmouche to his first victory in an open company maiden special weight in Race 5 for trainer Steve Klesaris. Air Show [No. 3, $15] then earned his first win against winners when he took Race 6, a $25,000 claimer, for trainer Tom Morley and jockey Trevor McCarthy.

Falcone, Jr.'s second win of the day came when Maiden Beauty [No. 2, $8.60] won the second stakes of her career in Race 7, the Bay Ridge for state-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up.

The Juan Vazquez-trained Esor [No. 3, $14.20] triggered the double carryover with a mild upset in the nightcap at odds of 6-1 to break his maiden with Eric Cancel aboard.

Friday's eight-race card features the $100,000 Alex M. Robb for New York-breds 3-years-old and up in Race 7 with the Pick 6 sequence beginning in Race 3 at 1:44 p.m. Eastern. First post will be at 12:50 p.m.
