The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $100,000 Saturday at Gulfstream Park West.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fourth day in a row for the Fall Turf Festival Meet Friday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $8,281.98.
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.
Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, including five races with full fields of 12, three of them on turf. The featured Race 8, a 1 1/6-mile optional claiming allowance on turf, attracted a field of 12 3-year-olds and up, plus three also-eligibles. Carlos David-trained Sir Seamus, the 3-1 morning-line favorite, had won three turf races in a row before finishing fourth last time out in an off-the-turf optional claiming allowance. Patrick Biancone-trained Prince of Arabia enters Saturday's featured off a troubled third-place finish in the Richard Henry Lee Stakes at Gulfstream. Rohan Crichton-trained American Phenom, who recently captured an maiden special weight race impressively, is one of four last-out winners in the field.
First-race post time is set for noon Saturday, kicking off a three-day Columbus Day holiday weekend. There will be live-racing program at Gulfstream Park West on Monday.
