The 74th running of the $100,000 Manitoba Derby is set for Monday. The race drew a field of eight highly competitive 3-year-olds going 1 1/8 miles.

The program will also include the $50,000 Harvey Warner Manitoba Mile Stakes and the $50,000 Escape Clause Stakes.

In addition to the feature races, players will have a crack at the ASD Jackpot Pick 5 pool, which has not been won yet this year and is set to be a mandatory payout that night.

The jackpot is $515,683 going into Monday's program and the final pool is estimated to be well in excess of $1 million. It is set to be a huge windfall for players who are able to correctly select the winner of the last five races of the program. Tickets are only 20 cents each.

“This year's Manitoba Derby program is set to be a fantastic night for everyone,” said CEO Darren Dunn. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to have our feature event framed by the largest mandatory payout in the track's history.”

The program will also include a $100,000 guaranteed Pick 4 pool. Betting information can be found on the free Player Portal site at ASDowns.com/player-portal.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

The popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for 10 racing days since a lucky bettor hit the jackpot for a $118,521 payoff Friday, July 8.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10, featuring a stakes-quality optional claiming allowance in Race 9.

Multiple stakes winners Noble Drama and Shivaree are scheduled to clash in the mile race for 3-year-olds and up.

David Fawkes-trained Noble Drama, out of a half sister to 2010 champion sprinter Big Drama, is scheduled to make his 2022 debut. The 7-year-old gelded son of Gone Astray has won six stakes over the Gulfstream track while compiling career earnings of nearly $750,000.

Ralph Nicks-trained Shivaree has earned more than $550,000 during a career that includes a second-place finish behind Tiz the Law in the 2020 Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream.

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% of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30% is carried over to the jackpot pool.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $300,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for nine racing days since a lucky bettor hit the jackpot for a $118,521 payoff Friday, July 8.

The $75,000 Bear's Den, a 1 1/16-mile stakes for 3-year-olds on Tapeta, will headline Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence (Races 6-11) in Race 10.

Armando De La Cerda-trained California Frolic is slated to see his third-straight stakes victory in the Bear's Den. The son of California Chrome most recently captured the English Channel on turf and the Not Surprising on Tapeta by narrow margins following late rallies. Victor Barboza Jr.-trained Venezuelan Triumph will make his stakes debut in search of his fifth victory in his last seven starts on Tapeta and turf.

A well-stocked field of 10 fillies and mares has been assembled for Race 8, a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight race over the main track. Joseph-trained Three Witches, a $350,000 yearling purchase at the 2020 Keeneland September sale, is scheduled to make her debut. The 3-year-old daughter of Into Mischief is a half-sister to multiple graded-stakes winner Kid Cruz.

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 Six Pix handicapping contest, linking the final three races at Gulfstream and the last three races at Saratoga, will be held for a second straight Saturday for XB Rewards members, who will compete for a $2500 prize pool.

Half-Brother to Letruska Debuts Saturday at Gulfstream

St. George Stable LLC's Prudencio, a half-brother to champion Letruska, is scheduled to debut in Saturday's Race 3, a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds, at Gulfstream Park.

Prudencio, a son of Arrogate, has been working forwardly at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County, for trainer Fausto Gutierrez, who also conditions Letruska, the 2021 champion older female who is being prepared for the Aug. 27 Personal Ensign (G1) at Saratoga.

Prudencio will face seven rivals, including Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained X Y Point, a half-brother to 2017 Rebel (G2) winner Malagacy, Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Caddy Man, a first-time starter by Bolt d'Oro, and Antonio Sano-trained Companuevo, a son of Arrogate who rallied from far back to finish second in his July 2 debut.

Edgar Perez has been named to ride Letruska's little brother.

Gutierrez, who has had a highly productive Royal Palm Meet, has recently saddled a pair of promising 2-year-old winners Mariachi Crush and Pachuca, a half-brother to Omixochitl, who captured the Miss Gracie Stakes at Gulfstream Saturday.
