Gulfstream Park: Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Yields Multiple $25k Payoffs   

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool wrapped up a memorable Pegasus World Cup weekend at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where multiple tickets with all six winners of the popular multi-race wager were each worth $25,194.88.

The Rainbow 6 had gone unsolved for 12 racing days in a row, generating a carryover pool of $727,306 heading into Sunday's 11-race program. An additional $5,348,491 was wagered into the pool of the multi-race wager that spanned Races 6-11.

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.

Mandatory Payout Sunday In Gulfstream Park Rainbow 6

Pegasus World Cup Weekend will be wrapped up in grand style with a mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager has been building a jackpot for 12 racing days in a row, generating a carryover pool of $727,305.66 heading into Sunday's 11-race program. Sunday's pool is estimated to grow to $3 million or higher.

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 5-11, kicked off by a five-furlong turf dash for $12,500 claiming fillies and mares. Queen Calypso and Filmore East, who will make their first starts for trainers with 30-percent strike rates with off-the-claim starters, are rated at 3-1 and 7-2, in the morning line.

A 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race on turf for 3-year-old fillies follows in Race 6. Trainer Chad Brown is represented by two first-time starters in the full field – Public Service, a daughter of Hard Spun, and Ughrouda, a daughter of Curlin. Todd Pletcher-trained Beside Herself, a very wide third in her Gulfstream debut, is rated as the 3-1 morning-line favorite.

Ever-steady Don't Get Khozy is rated at 9-5 in a seven-furlong optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares in Race 7, which is followed by a well-stocked 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds on turf. Brown-trained Bandimere, a son of More Than Ready, and Pletcher-trained Celestial Glaze, a son of Frosted, are among the first-time starters.

Elizabeth Dobles' Cuy is slated to seek his third win in a row over Gulfstream's Tapeta course in Race 9, a 5 ½-furlong starter allowance.  The sequence will be wrapped up by a mile optional claiming allowance on turf, featuring a full field of older horses, in Race 10, and a 1 1/16-mile race for $10,000 claimers on Tapeta in Race 11.

VIDEO: ‘Somebody Just Turned The Lights Off’: Two Jockeys Injured in Bizarre Grants Pass Finale

Jockeys Patrick Henry Jr. and Alex Anaya were taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries on Tuesday night after the lights at Grants Pass Downs turned off shortly after the start of the 11th and final race of the closing night program at the Grants Pass, Ore., track.

The race was declared a “no contest” by officials.

The six horses were just starting to make their way down the backstretch for the first time in the 6 1/2-furlong claiming race on the Josephine County Fairgrounds oval when the lights went out.

“The lights just went off,” track announcer Jason Beem said when the track went dark. “Somebody just turned the lights off. All the lights went off. I've got no clue what's going on and hopefully everybody is staying safe out there, because we can't see a thing. Unbelievable.”

Two horses, Lead Actress and Don't Rub It, could be seen without their riders passing under the wire in the light of the photo finish camera. Henry had been aboard Lead Actress with Anaya on Don't Rub It. Both were racing just behind the early leader along the inside when the lights went off.

According to Beem's Twitter feed, all horses were caught and not injured.

There was a lot at stake in the race for horseplayers, including a mandatory payout in the Pick 5 that included a $51,112 jackpot going in and took in over $300,000 in new money. The payoffs leading into the 11th race, the final leg of the sequence, were $3 in the seventh race, $38.60 in the eighth, $5.60 in the ninth, and $8.20 in the 10th. The Equibase chart did not show how the multi-race wagers were resolved, but track publicist Vince Bruun said the race was considered an “all” under Oregon racing rules, meaning every selection was credited with being a winner. The bet, which effectively became a pick 4, paid $357.75, according to Bruun.

How and why the lights went off isn't clear, but the speculation is they were set on a timer to go off at approximately 10:30 p.m. and were not adjusted after the switch from daylight savings to standard time on the morning of Nov. 7.

The nine-race program on Monday, Nov. 8, ended with the final event going at 9:21 p.m. Tuesday's finale was off at 10:28 p.m.

Randy Evers, general manager at Grants Pass Downs, could not be reached for comment or additional information.
