Mandatory Payout Leads To Many Winners In Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool yielded multiple payoffs of $1.140.92 Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The carryover jackpot pool heading into Rainbow 6 wagering was $873,676, which helped to generate a handle of $5,474,357 on the popular multi-race wager Sunday.

The Rainbow 6 had gone for the 10 straight racing days since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Feb. 22.

The Rainbow 6 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. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

The Rainbow 6 will start anew on Wednesday, when a 10-race program will get underway at 1:10 p.m. and there will be a guaranteed pool of $150,000.

WHO'S HOT:  Leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. kept rolling along toward another Championship Meet title with four winners Sunday. The two-time defending titlist scored aboard Shananies Paynter ($4.80) in Race 1, Maureenlovesfrank ($3) in Race 2, Too Much Tip ($5.80) in Race 4, and Livin at the Beach ($5.40) in Race 6.

Ortiz, who rode five winners Friday and two on Saturday, has a meet-leading total of 121. The record for most victories by a jockey is 137, set by Luis Saez during the 2017-2018 meet. Ortiz rode 135 winners in 2018-2019.

$63,716 Payout In Cross Country Pick 5 From Aqueduct, Tampa Bay Downs

Saturday's Cross Country Pick 5 featuring a slate of all stakes from Aqueduct Racetrack and Tampa Bay Downs paid $63,716.50 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager. The sequence's total pool was $149,923.

Wall-to-wall stakes competition started with the Grade 2 Hillsborough for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up going nine furlongs in Race 9 at Tampa. Micheline rallied from third in the stretch to defeat Morning Molly by three-quarters of a length. The Michael Stidham trainee returned $11.20 on a $2 win wager, with Luis Saez calming his charge after she was reluctant to load but responded to firm handling to complete the course in 1:47.19.

Aqueduct got in on the action when Lake Avenue drew away to an impressive 6 3/4-length score in the Heavenly Prize for older fillies and mares going a one-turn mile in Race 8. The 4-5 favorite, trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, bested an eight-horse field, kicking away from runner-up Portal Creek to hit the wire in 1:39.25 under jockey Manny Franco. Lake Avenue paid $3.90.

Back at Tampa, Domain Expertise completed a thrilling run to best Jouster by a nose in the Grade 3, $200,000 Florida Oaks for sophomore fillies going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. Piloted by Antonio Gallardo, Domain Expertise ran down the favorite Jouster in the final jumps. Conditioned by Chad Brown, Domain Expertise [$12.80], registered a final time of 1:41.12.

Aqueduct closed its stakes action with the first of two “Road to the Kentucky Derby” prep races on the Cross Country Pick 5 docket, with Weyburn earning a big-price win at 46-1 for Jimmy Jerkens in the Grade 3 Gotham in Race 9 that had 50-20-10-5 points to the top-four finishers. Weyburn, ridden by Trevor McCarthy, captured 50 qualifying points when besting the Brown-trained Crowded Trade and Highly Motivated. Weyburn, who paid $95.50, edged Crowded Trade, off at 5-1, by a nose with 4-5 favorite Highly Motivated back in third. Freedom Fighter, a California shipper for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, ran fourth.

Alternating back to Tampa, Helium soared in the Grade 2, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby in Race 11. With 50-20-10-5 qualifying points also on the line, the son of Ironicus became his sire's first graded stakes-winner, outkicking Hidden Stash by three-quarters of a length under Jose Ferrer. Trained by Hall of Famer Mark Casse, Helium rallied from 10th at the opening quarter-mile to pick up points for the “Run for the Roses,” returning $32.80 in the process. Moonlite Strike ran third and Unbridled Honor was fourth to also earn points.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on track, on ADW platforms, and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

The Cross Country Pick 5 will continue each Saturday throughout the year. For more information, visit NYRABets.com.

Gulfstream Park: Sunday’s Rainbow 6 Has Mandatory Payout, $5 Million Pool Projected

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot pool is scheduled for Sunday's program at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The carryover jackpot pool heading into Sunday's Rainbow 6 wagering will be $873,676.33. The pool is expected to swell to approximately $5 million at the close of betting Sunday.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Saturday for the 10th straight racing day since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Feb. 22. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $487.16 Saturday.

Nicoletti, Courtney Handicap Rainbow 6

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence, which will span Races 6-11, kicked off by a wide-open $16,000 maiden claiming race with a full field of older fillies and mares. In Race 7, Free to Fly, who will seek her third-straight victory, figures to be a popular 'single' in the six-furlong $6,250 claiming race for older fillies and mares. Race 8, a five-furlong dash for $16,000 claiming fillies and mares on turf will likely pose a much sterner test for handicappers.

A 6 ½-furlong optional claiming allowance for older fillies and mares in Race 9 will kick of the second half of the Rainbow 6 sequence. Bimini, who was claiming out of a third-place finish behind Free to Fly last time out, will make her first start for solid off-the-claim trainer Gilberto Zerpa.

A full field of older horses will compete in Race 10, a five-furlong optional claiming allowance on turf. Brendan Walsh-trained Lontano and Wesley Ward-trained Zanno, both of whom are coming off victories against state-breds, will face open company in the same entry-level condition Sunday.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will be wrapped up by a six-furlong maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds featuring first-time starters trained by Chad Brown, Bill Mott, Brad Cox, Saffie Joseph Jr., and Ian Wilkes.

The Rainbow 6 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. However, on mandatory-payout days, the entire pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence.

WHO'S HOT: Jose Ortiz had the hat trick, winning two of Gulfstream's three stakes races. Ortiz won aboard A Bit of Both ($8.80) in the Captiva Island and Farsighted ($12.20) in the The Any Limit. He also won Race 2 with Dream Friend ($4). Miguel Vasquez doubled aboard Stunning Princess ($8.80) in Race 1 and Easy Stride ($12.80) in Race 7. Paco Lopez doubled aboard Ournationonparade ($4.80) in Race 3 and Lavi ($4.80) in Race 5.
