A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 Saturday at Gulfstream Park West in Miami Gardens, Fla., yielded a payoff of $13,725.66 to multiple ticket-holders.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for eight consecutive programs following a $249,204 jackpot hit on Oct. 18.
The 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 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 whole pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors holding tickets with the most winners in the six-race sequence.
There was a carryover of $111,271 at the start of betting Saturday, generating a handle of $890,459 on the six-race sequence.
Racing returns Sunday at Gulfstream with an eight-race program beginning at noon. There will be a Super Hi-5 carryover of $2,476.20.
Vasquez Wins Four Saturday
Jockey Miguel Vasquez visited the winner's circle four times Saturday afternoon. Vasquez won the first race aboard Long Beach Kid ($23), the sixth on Friendly Fella ($8), the seventh on Front Loaded ($14), and the eighth with Victory Crusade ($38.60).
