A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 yielded multiple $6,086.16 payoffs Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for 17 straight racing days, producing a carryover jackpot pool of $828,941.81 heading into Sunday's mandatory payout, which generated $6,265,823 in handle on the Rainbow 6.

Sunday's sequence spanned Races 6-11. The winning numbers were 7-5-7-8-6-9.

The Rainbow 6 was last solved by one lucky bettor for a life-changing $533,783.63 payout Jan. 5.

On mandatory payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager's six-race sequence. The 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.

The Rainbow 6 begins anew when live action returns to Gulfstream Wednesday for a nine-race program that begins at 12:10 p.m. (ET).

A highly anticipated mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool will be held Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot pool stood at $828,941 following Saturday's Pegasus World Cup card, on which the popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the 17th racing day in a row following a single-ticket jackpot hit for $533,783.63.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is expected to climb into the multi-millions. On mandatory-payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager's six-race sequence. The 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.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, kicked off with a mile starter allowance on turf for older horses that have started for a $50,000 claiming price or lower. A well-matched field of 11 includes Mark Casse-trained My Sea Cottage, who looked sharp romping to a 5 ¾-length front-running victory against $35,000 non-winners-of-2 claimers; and Martin Drexler-trained Meyer, a model of consistency at Woodbine in similar company; and Carlos David Jr.-trained Hashtag No Wonder, a deep closer who would benefit from a contested pace.

An $84,000 maiden special weight race for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles follows in Race 7. Todd Pletcher-trained Tituba, a daughter of Good Magic who is coming off a troubled debut at Churchill Downs, and Shug McGaughey-trained Biloxi Blues, a daughter of Tapit who finished third in her debut at Aqueduct after a bumping start; are prominent contenders in a field of nine.

The $70,000 Gun Runner Starter Handicap for older horses at 1 1/8 miles on Tapeta in Race 8 attracted 10 entrants for what could prove to be a popular 'spread' race.

An $86,000 optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds at six furlongs follows in Race 9.  Patrick Biancone-trained Diamond Cool, from the family of Diamond Oops and Diamond Wow, is rated as the 2-1 morning-line favorite off a sharp 8 ¾-length maiden romp. Daniel Pita-trained English Bob, a dominating debut winner Dec. 23; and Carlos David-trained Dangerous Ride, a multiple stakes-placed son of Lord Nelson who has made seven straight stakes appearances since a debut victory; are also entered.

Jimmy Toner, who is off to a fast start for the Championship Meet, will saddle Traffic Song, a runner-up in his return to Gulfstream, for a start in Race 10, a mile optional claiming allowance for older fillies and mares on turf. Chad Brown-trained Lady Day, who finished third, a length behind Traffic Song in her second U.S. start; Brian Lynch-trained Fast as Flight, who finished a game second in her most recent start at Gulfstream; and John Servis-trained Love In The Air, a multiple Pennsylvania-bred stakes winner; are among a competitive field off nine.

The Rainbow 6 sequence concludes with an $84,000 maiden special weight races at 1 1/16 miles on turf for 3-year-old fillies in Race 11. A full field of 12 includes two debuting daughters of Justify, Jack Sisterson-trained Idle Chatter and Brendan Walsh-trained Fancy. Mark Casse-trained Pedigeek, a daughter of Arrogate who overcame bumping to finish third in his recent debut; Brendan Walsh-trained Sri Lanka, a daughter of Munnings, who finished more than two lengths of Pedigeek while second in her debut; and Jonathan Thomas-trained Mrs. Astor and Fausto Gutierrez-trained Penumbras Maker, second and third, respectively, in a recent maiden race on turf; are among the most promising entrants that have started.

Saturday's Pegasus World Cup program at Gulfstream Park will offer countless wagering opportunities on a 13-race program that will feature nine stakes (seven graded), including the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) presented by Baccarat, the $1 million Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational (G1) presented by Qatar Racing, and the $500,000 TAA Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf Invitational (G3) presented by Pepsi.

The Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf (Race 11), Pegasus Turf (Race 12) and Pegasus (Race 13) will anchor the six-race sequence for the 20-cent Rainbow 6, which will span Races 8-13. The Big Three will also be featured in the Late Pick 5, Late Pick 4, and the Late Pick 3.

There will be a $750,000 guaranteed pool for the Late Pick 5, which will span Races 9-13. The Late Pick 4, spanning Races 10-13, will also have a guaranteed pool of $750,000. The Late Pick 3 pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 for Races 11-13.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1 million Saturday.

Heading into Saturday's program, the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for 16 racing days in a row following a single-ticket jackpot hit for $533,783.63 Jan. 5.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will feature six graded stakes, kicked off by the $200,000 Inside Information (G2), a seven-furlong sprint for older fillies and mares for which Juddmonte's Obligatory is rated as the 7-5 morning-line favorite. The Bill Mott-trained daughter of Curlin, a Grade 1 winner who closed from last to fifth in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1), likely will prove to be a popular choice for 'single' players.

The $200,000 William L. McKnight (G3), a 1 ½-mile turf stakes for older horses carded as Race 9, drew a full field of 12 including multiple Grade 1 stakes-winning Channel Maker. The Mott-trained 9-year-old gelding is top rated at 3-1 in a field that also includes 2022 McKnight champion Abaan and runner-up Temple.

The $150,000 Fred W. Hooper (G3), a mile stakes for older horses carded as Race 10, has shaped up to be a highly competitive event in which Chad Brown-trained Miles D is rated as the 3-1 morning-line favorite in his comeback from an 11-month layoff. Miles D, a 5-year-old son of Curlin who was third in the 2021 Travers (G1), will take on Endorsed, who finished fourth in last year's Pegasus World Cup, and 10 other veteran campaigners.

Brown-trained Shantisara, who captured the Queen Elizabeth II (G1) at Keeneland in October, is favored at 8-5 in the morning line for the Pegasus Filly & Mare Turf, a 1 1/16-mile turf stakes for older fillies and mares in Race 11. Al Stall Jr.-trained Dalika, a Grade 1 stakes winner coming off a front-running victory in the Cardinal (G3) at Churchill, is rated second at 5-2.

Paolo Lobo-trained Ivar, a Grade 1 stakes winner who is Grade 1 stakes-placed this year, is the early 5-2 favorite in a full field for the Pegasus World Cup Turf.  Christophe Clement-trained City Man, who stepped out of New York-bred company to win the Fort Lauderdale (G2) at Gulfstream last time out, and Graham Motion-trained Speaking Scout, who will face older rivals for the first time after winning the Hollywood Derby (G1) at Del Mar last time out; are among the notable entries.

Brad Cox-trained Cyberknife will seek to close out his racing career with a victory in the Pegasus World Cup in Race 13. The Brad Cox-trained son of 2018 Pegasus World Cup winner Gun Runner won the Haskell (G1) and the Arkansas Derby (G1). Defunded, the winner of the Awesome Again (G1) at Santa Anita, is trainer Bob Baffert's hope for a third Pegasus score. The Championship Meet's leading trainer will have three entrants, Curlin Florida Derby (G1) champion White Abarrio, Harlan's Holiday (G3) and West Virginia Derby (G3) Skippylongstocking and Chilean Group 1 winner O'Connor.

Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Set for Sunday's Program

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 Jackpot pool has been scheduled for Sunday's program at Gulfstream Park.

On mandatory payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the wager's six-race sequence. The 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.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot stood at $601,850.56 following Friday's card, when tickets with all six winners each returned $3,082.88. Should the popular multi-race wager go unsolved through Saturday's Pegasus World Cup program, the pool could be expected to grow into the millions Sunday.

Who's Hot:  Irad Ortiz Jr., honored Thursday night at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla. with his fourth career Eclipse Award as North America's champion jockey for 2022, registered a hat trick Friday aboard Late Call ($5.20) in Race 2, Easy as A.B.C. ($8.60) in Race 6 and Mosler's Image ($7.40) in Race 9.

Fixed odds betting options on horse racing could come to New York residents if a new bill introduced by Senator Joseph Addabbo, Chairman of the state Senate's Racing, gaming and Wagering Committee, is passed.

Senate Bill 2343 is similar to a measure introduced a year ago, also by Sen. Addabbo, but which was never advanced for a vote.

“There should be no doubt amongst racing stakeholders that our existing pari-mutuel offerings are not enough in today's competitive market,” said Thoroughbred Idea Foundation executive director Patrick Cummings.

“Fixed odds bets for racing won't replace pari-mutuel wagering, but rather complement our existing offerings, and meet modern customers with a modern product that they currently enjoy with widespread sports betting options.

“After adjusting for inflation, we estimate that mainstream handle on U.S. racing has declined by roughly two-thirds over the last 20 years. The pari-mutuel status quo with high takeout rates and the constant promotion of low-churn exotic bets have depleted our mass market customers. Fixed odds betting offers racing a chance to recapture those that drifted from the sport while introducing our product to new audiences.”

In a statement from the New York Racing Association, published by the Daily Racing Form and other outlets earlier this week, spokesman Patrick McKenna indicated the measure had NYRA's support and “presents an enormous opportunity for horse racing to share in the rapid growth and unrivaled success of New York State's mobile sports wagering marketplace.”

“Allowing mobile sports wagering platforms to offer premium horse racing content would generate untapped gaming revenue for New York State, attract new fans to horse racing, and deepen the sport's overall economic impact.”

TIF supported the expansion into complementary fixed odds options in its 2019 white paper, which can be reviewed HERE.

Last year was the first full season with fixed odds offerings for on-track customers at Monmouth Park in New Jersey, where the offering is managed by Australian firm BetMakers. Wider distribution to New Jersey customers, including ADW betting via fixed odds on Monmouth races and simulcasted races, is expected in 2023.
