Saturday's inaugural 1/ST Saturday, an innovative collaboration between Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., and Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., will offer Thoroughbred racing fans a chance to win a $5 million jackpot in a free contest linking all 15 stakes races [14 graded], and test their handicapping skills with the Coast-to-Coast All Dirt Stakes Pick 5 and Coast to Coast All Turf Stakes Pick 5.

Ashley Mailloux's Coast-to-Coast All Dirt Pick 5:

The $400,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2), a tradition-rich prep for the April 2 $1 million Curlin Florida Derby (G1) and Triple Crown, will headline Gulfstream's 13-race program with a first-race post time of 12:10 p.m.

Tami Bobo's Simplification, a gutsy second-place finisher in the Feb. 5 Holy Bull (G3) behind White Abarrio following a slow start and wide trip, has been installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite. The Antonio Sano-trained 3-year-old son of Not This Time scored an impressive front-running victory in the Jan. 1 Mucho Macho Man. WinStar Farm LLC and Siena Farm LLC's Emmanuel, undefeated in two impressive career starts, is rated second in the morning line at 3-1 for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.

The Fountain of Youth, a 1 1/8-mile event that will offer 50 Kentucky Derby qualification points to the winner, drew a deep field of 12 sophomores, including Grade 1 stakes winner Rattle N Roll, who is slated to make his 2022 debut after winning the Breeders' Cup Futurity (G1) at Keeneland in October.

The Fountain of Youth is one of eight graded stakes among a total of nine stakes on Gulfstream's program, while the $650,000 Santa Anita Handicap (G1) will anchor a slate of six grades stakes at Gulfstream's sister track.

The ownership of Diamond 100 Racing Club will sponsor Best Turned Out Groom and Horse at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park on 1/ST Saturday, March 5. For each race at Gulfstream and Santa Anita, the groom of the best turned out horse will receive a $100 gift card.

Judges examine the presentation and appearance of both horse and groom in the paddock to determine a winner.

The Coast to Coast All Dirt Stakes Pick 5 and the Coast to Coast All Turf Stakes Pick 5 will both include races from Gulfstream and Santa Anita. The all-dirt Pick 5 will be kicked off with the $200,000 San Carlos (G2) in Santa Anita's Race 4, followed by the $200,000 Gulfstream Park Mile (G2) in Race 10 at the Hallandale Beach, FL track, the $400,000 San Felipe (G2) in Race 6 at Santa Anita, the $400,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2) in Race 12 at Gulfstream and the $650,000 Santa Anita Handicap (G1) in Race 11 in Arcadia, CA.

The $125,000 Palm Beach and the $150,000 Honey Fox (G3) in Races 7 and 8 at Gulfstream will kick off the all-turf Pick 5, followed by the $200,000 Buena Vista (G2) in Race 5 at Santa Anita, the $125,000 Herecomesthebride (G3) in Race 13 at Gulfstream and the $500,000 Kilroe Mile (G1) in Race 10 at Santa Anita.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., will be guaranteed at $400,000 for Saturday's 1/ST Saturday program after going unsolved Friday for the fourth racing day following Saturday's mandatory payout.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool is scheduled for Sunday's 12-race program. Should the popular multi-race wager go unsolved on Saturday, Sunday's Rainbow 6 pool is expected to grow to more than $2 million.

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.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 8-13. A mile optional claiming allowance for older horses will kick off the action in Race 8, in which Soup and Sandwich, who finished second in last year's Curlin Florida Derby (G2), is set to make his second start off a layoff against nine rivals. The $150,000 Honey Fox (G3), a mile turf race with a field of 11 older fillies and mares, will follow in Race 9, featuring Alms' first start since finishing second in the Jan. 29 Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G3). In Race 10, the $200,000 Gulfstream Park Mile (G2), in which Speaker's Corner will return from an impressive win in the Fred Hooper (G3) on the Pegasus World Cup undercard in the mile stakes for older horses.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will be closed out by the $400,000 Fountain of Youth (G2) in Race 12 and the $125,000 Herecomesthebride (G3), a mile turf stakes for 3-year-old fillies in Race 13.

Who's Hot: Leading rider Luis Saez rode four winners on Friday's program, scoring aboard Alley Oop Johnny ($4) in Race 3, Sweet Pearl ($10) in Race 6, Quick Tempo ($4.60) in Race 8 and Canelito ($10.40).

Jose Ortiz doubled on Friday's program aboard Cagua ($7.40) in Race 2 and Tyson ($14.80) in Race 7. Todd Pletcher-trained Tyson, a first-time starter by Tapit, withstood race-long pressure while setting and vying for the lead in the 1 1/16-mile maiden race for 3-year-olds on Tapeta before edging clear in the deep stretch.

Romero Ramsey doubled aboard Street Facts ($4.80) in Race 1 and Chrome Republic ($14.80) in Race 4.

This Monday, March 7, Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley, Calif. conducts a nine-race program. First post is 12:15 PM.

The headliner for horseplayers on the day is a mandatory payout in the Golden Pick Six jackpot wager, a 20-cent minimum bet which features the last six races on the card. Heading into Friday's live-race program, the jackpot pool sits at $124,190. Of course, the pool will increase by Monday if there fails to be a single ticket jackpot winner by then.

The feature race on Friday is Race 8, a second level allowance for 4-year-olds and upward at one mile and a sixteenth on Tapeta. Tom's Surprise leads the field, having just won at this condition last month at low odds. Contention and quality runs deep. Other main contenders include Tesoro, who finished second behind 2021 Arkansas Derby winner Super Stock in the Zia Park Derby last fall, 2021 Snow Chief Stakes winner Jimmy Blue Jeans, and Shadrack, a multiple allowance winner last year who makes his 2022 debut for white-hot trainer Tim McCanna.

This week, Golden Gate Fields races on Friday, Sunday, and Monday. Although live racing will not be conducted on Saturday, horseplayers in the area can head to Golden Gate to watch and wager on simulcast racing. Among the options on the wagering menu is 1/ST Saturday, featuring a combined 15 stakes races from Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita. Both aforementioned tracks, among other promotions, will be offeringa pair of “Coast to Coast” Pick 5 wagers, with an industry low 12% takeout for both bets.
