Gulfstream Park: $450,000 Guaranteed Rainbow 6 Jackpot Saturday; Another Triple ForIrad Ortiz Jr.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $450,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the third racing day since Sunday's mandatory payout. Multiple tickets with five of six winners were each worth $16,064.30 Friday.

There will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover into the first race of $3,235.62.

The jackpot pool 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.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, kicking off by a maiden special weight event for 3-year-olds, including Hall of Fame trainer Carl Nafzger's first starter since October 2019, Sensible Jim.

The $75,000 Silks Run, a five-furlong turf stakes carded as Race 11, will headline the Rainbow 6 sequence. Brian Lynch-trained Carotari, who was narrowly defeated in the Sam Houston Turf Sprint last time out, captured the Silks Run last year with a front-running performance.

Irad Ortiz Jr. closed in on the record for most wins by a jockey during a Championship Meet while notching his seventh straight multi-win day Friday at Gulfstream Park.

The defending two-time Championship Meet titlist rode three winners to up his win total to 131, just six winners behind the record of 137 set by Luis Saez in 2017-2018. Ortiz scored aboard aboard Lime ($2.20) in Race 1, Malibu Max ($3.20) in Race 5 and Septemberten ($13) in Race 8.

Ortiz has ridden 23 winners over the last seven programs while rapidly closing in on the record he missed equaling last season by just two winners.

WHO'S HOT: Luis Saez, a two-time Championship Meet champion who was narrowly edged by Ortiz the past two seasons, rode a pair of winners Friday, including Simply the Best ($2.20), who dead-heated with Lime in Race 1, and Blakenstein ($5.80) in Race 3.

Tyler Gaffalione also doubled, scoring with Nicholas Ross ($8.60) in Race 2 and Spend Benjamins ($31.20) in Race 9.

Gulfstream Park: $1.25 Million Jackpot Guarantee in Saturday’s Rainbow 6; Mandatory Payout Sunday

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.25 million Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the ninth 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 $1,545.84 Friday.

A mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool will be held Sunday at Gulfstream.

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.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, highlighted by the $75,000 Hutcheson in Race 9, $75,000 Captiva Island in Race 10 and the $75,000 Any Limit in Race 11.

Wesley Ward-trained Roderick, a 3 ¾-length winner of his 2020 finale at Churchill, is the 2-1 morning-line favorite for the Hutcheson, a six-furlong dash for 3-year-olds. Dale Romans-trained Ultimate Badger, who finished third in the seven-furlong Swale (G3) last time out, cuts back to the shortest distance his has raced since winning his five-furlong debut.

Eddie Plesa Jr.-trained Miss Auramet, a close second behind graded-stakes winner Lady's Island in the Feb. 6 Ladies Turf Sprint at Gulfstream before winning a Tampa Bay Downs stakes, is rated as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the Captiva Island. Ward-trained Karak, a stakes winner over Turfway's synthetic track, is set to return from a 10-month layoff in the five-furlong turf sprint for older fillies and mares.

Chad Brown-trained Boston Post Road, a sharp debut winner Feb. 2, is rated as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the Any Limit, a six-furlong sprint for 3-year-old fillies.

WHO'S HOT: Irad Ortiz Jr. continued his riding dominance while winning five races Friday, teaming with trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. to sweep the early double with Flamingo Hawk ($8.60) in Race 1 and Passion Plus ($9) in Race 2 before scoring aboard Rocking the Boat ($7.40) in Race 4, Create a Story ($3) in Race 6 and Gatsby ($6.80) in Race 8.

Ortiz, who is the defending two-time Championship Meet titlist, has ridden a meeting-leading 115 winners thus far this season.
