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.
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.
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.”
