Gulfstream Park: Wednesday’s Rainbow 6 Jackpot Has $1.1 Million Guarantee

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.1 million for Wednesday's nine-race program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Wednesday's Rainbow 6 sequence spans Races 4-9, kicked off by a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight for 4-year-olds and up that includes a pair of six-figure yearlings from 2019 – Grandview Equine, Cheyenne Stable and LNJ Foxwoods' Scalding, trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, who ran second Dec. 2 at Aqueduct in his second start; and Boama Corporation's Unexpected, third Dec. 17 at Gulfstream in his unveiling for trainer Eddie Plesa Jr.

Race 5 is an optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on the grass that drew an overflow field of 16 led by Arturo Toscanini, Group 3-placed in Ireland making his U.S. debut; local stakes winner Louder Than Bombs, twice Grade 3-placed; and Ginsburned, third in the Bruce D (G1) last August at Arlington Park.

The sequence wraps up in Race 9, an optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up set to sprint five furlongs on the turf. Dubai Key, a Group 3 winner in Chile, was a front-running winner of his North American debut Nov. 13 at Gulfstream going five furlongs on the Tapeta surface. Elusive Mischief is a stakes winner on both turf and dirt for trainer Ian Wilkes.

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.

Who's Hot: Jockey Tyler Gaffalione registered a Sunday hat trick aboard Forty Smooth ($5.60) in Race 2, Spectacular Gal ($3.60) in Race 6 and Grand Ave Girl ($5.60) in Race 9. Jockey Paco Lopez and trainer Kent Sweezey teamed up for a pair of winners with Katie's Cowboy ($4.60) in Race 3 and Astroturf ($5) in Race 7. Spectacular Gal was one of two winners for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. along with Bravo Kitten ($9) in Race 1.
