A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will be held Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where the pool for the popular multi-race wager may swell to $5 million or more on the last day of the Spring/Summer Meet.
Gulfstream's hosts and analysts Jason Blewitt and Ron Nicoletti handicap Sunday's Rainbow 6 and offer some interesting plays.
The Rainbow 6 carryover grew to $745,396.50 Saturday after going unsolved for the 15th consecutive racing day. Tickets with all six winners Saturday were each worth $276.22.
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.
Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12.
Race 7, a five-furlong turf dash for $12,500 claimers, drew a well-balanced full field of 12, plus an also-eligible. Race 8, a seven-furlong sprint for 3-year-old fillies, will be contested by eight fillies, including Panarea, the 8-5 morning-line favorite who was claimed out of a 5 ½-length victory against slightly weaker.
A trio of optional claiming allowance races will be contested in Races 9, 10 and 11. Race 9, scheduled at a mile on turf, drew 15 fillies and mares, including four main-track-only entrants. Dynatown, a Mark Casse-trained daughter of Speightstown who is rated as the 9-5 favorite, steps into open company after defeating Florida-breds by 4 ½ lengths last time out.
Royal Squeeze, a winner of more than $600,000, is slightly favored over six rivals in a well-matched Race 10, a six furlong sprint.
Bienville Street, who came within a neck of winning the Monroe Stakes last time out, tops a field of 11, including three main-track-only entrants, in Race 11, a mile turf race for fillies and mares.
The Rainbow 6 sequence will conclude in Race 12, a five-furlong turf sprint for $12,500 fillies and mares claimers that drew 16 entries, including four also-eligibles.
There will also be mandatory payouts Sunday of the Late Pick 5 and last-race Super Hi-5.
There will be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $2,712.43.
