Entries Drawn For Wednesday’s Opening Day Of Gulfstream Park Championship Meet

A 10-race card was drawn Friday for Wednesday's opening day of the 2020-2021 Championship Meet at Gulfstream Park.

Luis Saez, who was edged out for the riding title by Irad Ortiz Jr. by one and two wins, respectively, the past two Championship Meets, will try to get off to a fast start for the 2020-2021 meet, accepting nine mounts on Wednesday's opening-day card.

Saez, who won back-to-back titles in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, is scheduled to ride Ashaar for defending training titlist Todd Pletcher in a six-furlong optional claiming allowance Race 8.

Ashaar, formerly trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, hasn't seen action since finishing seventh in the Jan. 4 Mucho Macho Man at Gulfstream. Ournationonparade, a stakes winner trained by Kathy Ritvo, is scheduled to make his first start since finishing fifth in the Sept. 5 Smile Sprint (G3).

In the co-featured Race 9, a five-furlong optional claiming allowance on turf for fillies and mares, Mark Casse-trained Catch a Thrill will look to breakthrough with a victory after finishing second in all three 2020 starts, including a Belmont race between two Gulfstream races. The 4-year-old daughter of City Zip finished second in the Melody of Colors Stakes at Gulfstream last season.

Multiple Carryovers On Saturday’s Fall Festival Of Racing Program At Laurel

There will be carryovers in the 20-cent Rainbow 6, 50-cent Late Pick 5 and $1 Super Hi-5 wagers for Saturday's Fall Festival of Racing program at Laurel Park in Laurel, Md., featuring six stakes races worth $600,000 in purses.

First race post time is 12:25 p.m. ET.

No one had all six winners in Friday's 20-cent Rainbow 6, growing the carryover jackpot to $15,053.51 for Saturday, spanning Races 4-9. Tickets with five of six winners each returned $197.92.

The Late Pick 5, offering an industry-low 12 percent takeout, also went unsolved to produce a carryover of $3,910.14. Tickets with four of five winners were worth $100.25.

$347,136 Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool, Mandatory Payout In Gulfstream Park West Finale

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool will highlight the closing-day program at Gulfstream Park West Saturday.

A jackpot pool of $347.136.72 will be carried over to Saturday's card after the popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 17th consecutive racing program Friday.

Gulfstream hosts and analysts Jason Blewitt and Ron Nicoletti look at the races in Saturday's sequence, and they have a difference of opinion on some of them.

Video:

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.

Mandatory payouts of the Late Pick 5 and the last-race Super Hi-5 are also scheduled.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10.

Zayas (Jockey) Crichton (Trainer) Seek to Wrap Up Titles
Edgard Zayas heads into Saturday's final card at Gulfstream West with a 41-38 edge over Emisael Jaramillo in the jockey's race. Zayas has been named to ride 10 horses, including two main-track-only entrants, Saturday. Jaramillo is scheduled to ride in seven races, including an also-eligible entrant. Miguel Vasquez, who took closing weekend off, completed the meet with 39 winners.

Rohan Crichton, who is seeking his first U.S. training title, holds a 19-16 edge defending champion Saffie Joseph Jr., going into Saturday's card. Crichton has two horses entered for the last GPW program, while Joseph has three horses entered. Antonio Sano, who has 15 winners, has five horses entered Saturday.

Crichton, who saddled a pair of winners Friday, also holds a 6-5 edge over Paradise Farms Corp. for the owner's title.
