Gulfstream: Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Gross Jackpot Pool Guaranteed At $450,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $450,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for six racing days in a row.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, including the $75,000 Sunshine Filly and Mare Turf in Race 10. The mile turf stakes for older Florida-bred fillies and mares will co-headline Saturday's program with the $75,000 Sunshine Turf, a 1 1/8-mile turf stakes for older Florida-bred horses carded as Race 4.

Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Sugar Fix, who most recently captured the Claiming Crown Tiara, is rated as the 9-5 morning-line favorite in a field of seven. Graham Motion-trained Sister Otoole, who finished second in the Maple Leaf (G2) over Woodbine's Tapeta track last time out, is rated second at 5-2.

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.

Todd Pletcher-trained Shamrocket, who captured the Sunshine Classic last weekend in his dirt debut, is rated as the 7-5 morning-line favorite in his return to turf in the Sunshine Turf.

Irad Ortiz Jr., who has been sidelined by a knee injury, is scheduled to return to action Saturday with to riding engagements. The two-time defending Championship Meet titlist is named to ride Max K.O. in the Sunshine Turf in Race 4 and Ideal Breeze in Race 5.

Who's Hot: Leading rider Luis Saez was victorious on his first four mounts on Friday's program, sweeping the first three races Golden Isle ($4.40) in Race 1, Boldness ($3) in Race 2 and Reconfigure ($6.40) in Race 3 before taking a race off and coming back to win Race 5 aboard Take Charge Ro ($3) in Race 5.

Emisael Jaramillo notched back-to-back wins aboard Big Daddy Dave ($3.20) in Race 8 and Fish Mooney ($15) in Race 9.
