Gulfstream: Friday’s Rainbow 6 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 popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 12th racing day in a row Thursday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $9,895.86.

There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $17,997.20.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool is scheduled for Saturday.

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.

Friday's Stronach 5 features races from Santa Anita Park, Laurel Park and Gulfstream Park and an industry-low 12-percent takeout.

The featured races from Gulfstream will be races nine and 10, both on the Gulfstream Turf.

Analysts and hosts from Laurel, Santa Anita and Gulfstream have come up with a $108 Stronach 5 ticket.

Grade 2 Winner Shancelot Retired; Stud Plans Pending

Shancelot, a Grade 2-winner and Breeders' Cup Sprint runner-up, has been retired from racing after suffering a soft tissue injury following a Monday workout, Daily Racing Form reports.

The 5-year-old son of Shanghai Bobby had not raced since finishing second to Mitole in the 2019 Breeders' Cup Sprint. He had been working toward a comeback at Fair Grounds under trainer Steve Asmussen, aiming for the Saudi Sprint on the Saudi Cup undercard.

Shancelot retired with three wins in six starts for earnings of $624,300. Campaigned by Crawford Farms Racing, he won his first three career starts, capped off by a 12 1/2-length score in the Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes. He followed that effort with a third in the G1 H. Allen Jerkins Stakes before his Breeders' Cup start.

Shancelot was initially trained by Jorge Navarro, but the horse was transferred from his barn to Asmussen's last spring in the wake of a federal charges levied against Navarro, trainer Jason Servis, and several others tied to performance-enhancing drugs.

Charles Muth and Patrick Murphy bred Shancelot in Kentucky. He is out of the stakes-winning Is It True mare True Kiss.

Stud plans for Shancelot are pending.
