Gulfstream’s Rainbow 6 Pool Guaranteed At $400,000 On Wednesday

When Gulfstream resumes racing Wednesday afternoon the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will have a guaranteed pool of $400,000.

First race post at the Hallandale Beach, Fla., track is noon.

Wednesday's Rainbow 6 sequence will begin with 3-year-old and up claiming going five furlongs on the turf in Gulfstream's fifth race. The sequence has four races scheduled on the turf.

The carryover jackpot is 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 goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

NOTE: Magic Stables LLC's 2-year-old colt Papetu remained unbeaten in two starts when he drove away from six others to win Gulfstream's first juvenile allowance race of the meet. The Son of Gone Astray covered the 5 ½ furlongs in 1:04.46. The filly Princess Secret finished second and Famous Gent third…Whisper Hill Farm LLC's Doll Collection, a 4-year-old filly by Tapit out of champion Groupie Doll, broke her maiden Sunday, covering seven furlongs in 1:24.23.

Cross Country Pick 5 From Delaware, Belmont Handles $259,823; Pays $3,295

Saturday's Cross Country Pick 5, featuring all graded stakes races at Belmont Park and Delaware Park, paid $3,295 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager. The total pool was $259,823.

Delaware Park hosted the first two legs, starting the sequence with a huge price when Project Whiskey captured the Grade 3, $300,000 Delaware Oaks in Race 8. The 1 1/16-mile dirt route for 3-year-old fillies saw Project Whiskey, trained by Robert Reid, Jr., win her graded stakes debut after going off at 38-1. Ridden by Frankie Pennington, Project Whiskey returned $79.60 on a $2 win bet.

The remainder of the Cross Country Pick 5 was more chalky, with favorite Gufo winning the Grade 3, $125,000 Kent in Race 9. Piloted by Trevor McCarthy, the son of Declaration of War was a half-length winner for Clement in the 1 1/8-mile turf route for sophomores. He paid $3.20.

Belmont hosted the final three legs, starting with a bang with Vekoma's 1 ¼-length win in the Grade 1, $500,000 Runhappy Met Mile – one of five graded stakes on Belmont Park's loaded card – in Race 9 to give trainer George Weaver his first win in the prestigious race. Vekoma stayed undefeated in his 4-year-old campaign, improving to 3-for-3 in defeating a talented field that included 2019 Grade 1 Runhappy Travers-winner Code of Honor and last year's Grade 1 Whitney winner in McKinzie. Ridden by Hall of Famer Javier Castellano, who notched his third Runhappy Met Mile win, Vekoma paid $5.90.

Race 10 at Belmont saw another prestigious Grade 1, the $400,000 Manhattan, with trainer Chad Brown saddling the first-and-second-place finishers in Instilled Regard and Rockemperor. Instilled Regard [$6.30], under Belmont spring/summer meet-leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr., edged his stablemate by a neck to win the contest for 4-year-olds and up at 1 ¼-miles on the inner turf. It marked the sixth win in the Manhattan for Brown.

The concluding leg saw the top-two finishers of the 2019 Grade 1 Belmont Stakes rematch in the Grade 2, $200,000 Suburban in Race 11. Tacitus, who was runner-up in that Belmont Stakes, along with running second in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy and Runhappy Travers at Saratoga, finally earned a return trip to the winner's circle, romping to an 8 ¾-length win. Tacitus completed the 1 ¼-mile course in 1:59.51, never having been seriously challenged in the stretch, and returned $4.20. He was trained and ridden by a pair of Hall of Famers in Bill Mott and John Velazquez, respectively.

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 Ups Rainbow 6 Jackpot to $350,000; Jockey Martin Ramirez Scores First Win Since 2017

Sunday's 11-race program at Gulfstream Park will have a guaranteed pool in the 20-cent Rainbow 6 of $350,000.

First race post time is set for noon.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 begins with the sixth race, a claiming event at a mile for 4-year-olds and up, and concludes with the 11th race, a maiden special event for fillies and mares at seven furlongs. The field in the 11th includes Doll Collection, a 4-year-old daughter of Tapit and out of two-time champion Groupie Doll, as well as Lady Boss, second in her debut June 12 on the turf, and Arindel's Tara.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 will also include three turf races, including the $75,000 Bob Umphrey at five furlongs on the turf.

The Sunday program kicks off with a pair of turf races. The early double has nine maiden claimers going to post on the turf at a 1 1/16 miles, while the second race features 3-year-olds and up at a mile on the turf. The maiden special weight event drew a field of seven including Mony, an unraced 4-year-old son of Scat Daddy purchased as a 2-year-old by Zayat Stables for $385,000. The colt finished fourth in his only start in March of 2019. Wesley Ward trains.

Multiple tickets with all six winners Saturday in the Rainbow 6 were each worth $999.94.

Jockey Ramirez Back in Winner's Circle
Jockey Martin Ramirez won his 1,400th career race Saturday afternoon and first since 2017 when he led gate-to-wire aboard Capeline in Gulfstream's fifth race.

Ramirez fractured his neck in a spill at Gulfstream on May 13, 2017. The graded stakes-placed jockey, a leading rider in Canada and Mexico, had ridden for the first time in three years June 17 when he was sixth aboard Capeline.

“I started back [galloping] six month ago,” Ramirez said. “It's nice to be back.”

Azalea, Carry Back Stakes In Rainbow 6 Sequence At Gulfstream; Jackpot Has $250,000 Guarantee

Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., will celebrate Saturday's July 4th holiday with a $250,000 Rainbow 6 Jackpot Pool guarantee on a 12-race program highlighted by the $75,000 Carry Back and the $75,000 Azalea.

First race post time is set for noon.

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved Friday for the second day following Tuesday's mandatory payout. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $11,255.28.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, including the Azalea, a seven-furlong sprint for 3-year-old fillies, in Race 9 and the Carry Back, a seven-furlong event for 3-year-olds, in Race 11.

Boerne, rated at 6-5 in the morning line, looms as a popular 'single' with Rainbow 6 bettors. The Juan Carlos Avila-trained daughter of Fed Biz, finished second behind talented Up in Smoke in the June 8 Game Face at Gulfstream as the even-money favorite. Boerne has won her three previous starts by a combined 15 lengths.

Double Crown, who outfinished Grade 1 stakes-placed Green Light Go in the May 16 Roar Stakes last time out, tops a highly competitive edition of the Carry Back. The Kathy Ritvo-trained gelded son of Bourbon Courage will be joined by stablemate Ournationonparade and Hutcheson Stakes winner With Verve.

The Rainbow 6 sequence kicks off with 6 ½-furlong maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds and up in Race 7. Whisper Hill Farm's Plum Funny, a 3-year-old daughter of Distorted Humor, is scheduled to make her career debut for trainer Ralph Nicks. Plum Funny is out of Plum Pretty, who won the 2011 Kentucky Oaks (G1). St. George Stable LLC's Mascabroni, a 3-year-old daughter of Hard Spun, also brings strong bloodlines into her debut. The Fausto Gutierrez-trained filly is out of So Much Love, who is out of Grade 1 stakes-winning Love Lock.

Orseno, Jaramillo Team Up for Two Wins
Trainer Joe Orseno had two winners Friday with jockey Emisael Jaramillo bringing both to the winner's circle. Jaramillo rode Cash Call Kitten ($6) to victory in the fifth race and brought home Orseno's 13-1 shot Dakota's Dude ($29.60) in the seventh race.
