Naomi Tukker Handicap’s Pimlico’s Rainbow 6 With State Record Carryover

A Maryland state record carryover jackpot approaching $1 million in the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will greet bettors as live racing returns to historic Pimlico Race Course Friday.

Post time for the first of eight races is 12:40 p.m.

There were no unique winners of the Rainbow 6 on the last live program June 6, when the total pool topped $1 million for the second time in four race days. Despite two horses live to take down the jackpot heading into the finale, the popular multi-race wager saw its carryover jackpot grow to $974,564.10.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out only when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 60 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners while 40 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Introduced in Maryland April 2, 2015 on opening day of Pimlico's spring meet, the Rainbow 6 had its previous state record carryover reach $345,898.33 spanning 31 racing programs before being solved by one lucky bettor for a life-changing $399,545.94 payout April 15, 2018 at Laurel Park. The winning ticket was purchased through Maine off-track betting.

Friday's Rainbow 6 begins in Race 3, a starter allowance for 3-year-olds and up going 1 1/16 miles on the main track where 9-5 program favorite Souper Catch will go after his fourth consecutive victory for trainer Tim Kreiser.

Race 4 is an entry-level allowance for 3-year-olds and up sprinting five furlongs on the grass that drew a field of nine including recent maiden winner Little Bold Bandit, a full brother to 11-time stakes winner Anna's Bandit, and 6-year-old gelding Forced, narrowly beaten last out when third in in his turf debut and second start off a 508-day layoff.

An overflow field of 14 was entered in Race 6, a 1 1/16-mile grass allowance for Maryland-bred/sired 3-year-olds and up including March 13 Private Terms winner Shackled Love for main track only. Mike Trombetta-trained Broker's Reward, a two-time winner on turf, is the morning-line favorite from Post 1.

The feature comes in Race 7, an optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares 3 and up sprinting six furlongs on the main track. The well-balanced field of six is led by Hydra, a 5-year-old mare with three wins and two seconds from five starts this year entered for the $35,000 tag.

Pimlico: Friday’s Rainbow 6 Carryover Approaching $900,000

Unsolved during a special Memorial Day holiday program, when the total pool surpassed the $1 million mark, the 20-cent Rainbow 6 had its Maryland state record carryover jackpot approach $900,000 for the return of live racing Friday at historic Pimlico Race Course.

The Rainbow 6 pool is expected to top $1 million for the second straight racing day, building on a carryover of $895,264.82 from Monday's program. Friday's sequence begins with 2-year-old fillies on the dirt and features full fields in a pair of races scheduled for the grass.

Post time for the first of eight races Friday is 12:40 p.m. The Rainbow 6 begins in Race 3, a waiver maiden claimer for juvenile fillies sprinting five furlongs that attracted a field of seven including the Kevin Boniface-trained entry of homebreds Evangeline Allons and Sommer Velvet. Sommer Velvet is one of three horses not in for a tag, along with R. Larry Johnson-bred and owned Clouds of White and Magic in Me, both first-time starters for trainer Mike Trombetta.

Race 4 is a six-furlong starter allowance for 3-year-olds and up led by 7-5 program favorite To the Front, a six-figure earner that has finished in the top three in 14 of 19 career starts but is racing first time for trainer Derrick Goetz. Trainer Anthony Aguirre counters from outside Post 6 with Unequivocal, cutting back after running third by less than a length in a similar spot going 1 1/16 miles May 21 at Pimlico.

Nine horses 3 and up were entered in Race 5, an open, entry-level allowance carded at one mile on the grass. Dig Charlie Dig, trained and co-owned by Jamie Ness, is the 9-5 morning-line favorite from Post 1, looking to break a nine-race winless streak dating back to last fall. The 7-year-old gelding has earned nearly $250,000 in purses from 46 starts with five wins and 14 seconds, four of them coming during the recent drought. He has two seconds and two thirds from nine previous tries on turf. Uncle Andrew is unraced since rallying to be fourth in the 5 ½-furlong Punch Line for Virginia-breds last October at Laurel Park.

Marshall E. Dowell's Speightster Red, an $85,000 son of champion sprinter Speightstown, is favored to graduate in his fifth career start in Race 6, a six-furlong maiden claimer for horses 3, 4 and 5. Plissken drops in off a seventh in maiden special weight company April 9 at Laurel for trainer Brittany Russell. Dialing Dixie, a 3-year-old Maryland homebred son of Grade 1 winner Dialed In, is entered to make his debut from outside Post 6.

James Wolf's 4-year-old gelding Titan's Will seeks his fourth consecutive win for a fourth different trainer in Race 7, a 1 1/16-mile starter-optional claimer for 3-year-olds and up. Titan's Will began his streak March 21 with a 5 ¾-length triumph going one mile at Laurel, and was claimed away from Brittany Russell. He won April 25 for Andres Garibay Sr. and was claimed again, then scored in a similar spot May 9 for Anthony Farrior, both times at Pimlico. He will be racing first time for Derrick Goetz.

Among the competition are Glengar, coming back seven days off a front-running three-quarter-length triumph at Pimlico for trainer Joel Maldonado; Other Things Equal, beaten by Titan's Will in each of his last two starts; and Jamie Ness-trained entrymate Bellarmine Hall.

The Rainbow 6 wraps up in Race 8, a claiming event for maidens aged 3, 4 and 5 scheduled for 1 1/8 miles on the grass, which also serves as the opening leg of the weekly national Stronach 5 wager that continues with races from Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields.

Narrowly favored at 4-1 in the program is Marshall E. Dowell's Tipyourhattothat, a 3-year-old Congrats gelding that has run second three times in six previous starts but will be trying turf for the first time. Rip It LLC's eponymous 3-year-old Tapit colt, bred by Juddmonte Farms, also has six prior races having most recently finished second against older horses in a one-mile maiden claimer on the Pimlico turf May 13.

Maryland State Record Jackpot Carryover Builds To $747,098 For Saturday’s Card

A special Memorial Day weekend schedule of live racing continues Saturday with the Maryland state record jackpot carryover having grown to $747,098.73 in the 20-cent Rainbow 6 after going unsolved Friday at historic Pimlico Race Course.

No horses were live to take down the jackpot heading into Friday's ninth-race finale, won by My Man Pots N Pans ($9.60). A total of $119,522 was bet into the popular multi-race wager, which began with a carryover of $708,857.82 from the last live program May 23. Multiple tickets with all six winners each returned $2,493.96.

Post time for Saturday's nine-race program is 12:40 p.m. The Rainbow 6 begins in Race 4, a six-furlong claimer for 3-year-olds and up which have never won three races, or 3-year-olds. The feature comes in Race 8, a 1 1/16-mile allowance for Maryland-bred/sired 3-year-olds and up, where Artistic Reason – a half-brother to 2020 Runhappy Barbara Fritchie (G3) winner Majestic Reason – is set to make his 4-year-old debut off more than a nine-month layoff. Among the competition are four six-figure earners with a combined 69 starts as well as last-out stakes-placed Doubleoseven.

Saturday's card also includes a maiden special weight in Race 3 for fillies and mares age 3, 4 or 5 sprinting five furlongs on the turf. The narrow 4-1 program favorite is R. Larry Johnson's In Vain, a 3-year-old Maryland homebred daughter of Congrats that has ran third in three consecutive races over the winter at Gulfstream Park but is unraced since March 21.

The 50-cent Late Pick 5 Friday began with a carryover of $115,038.40 from May 23 and saw another $759,025 wagered. Tickets with all five winners were each worth $3,849.25.

There will also be a carryover of $9,245.87 in the $1 Super Hi-5 for Saturday's opener.

Following Saturday, Pimlico will host live race cards Sunday, May 30 and a special Memorial Day holiday program Monday, May 31.

Pair Of Six-Figure Carryovers Featured On Friday Card At Pimlico

There will be more to celebrate than just the start of Memorial Day weekend when live racing returns to historic Pimlico Race Course Friday with a trio of carryovers worth nearly $830,000.

Post time for the first of nine races is 12:40 p.m.

Maryland's state record jackpot carryover in the 20-cent Rainbow 6 has grown to $708,857.82 after going unsolved during Pimlico's last live program Sunday. Friday's sequence spans Races 4-9, kicked off by a maiden claimer for horses 3, 4 and 5 sprinting six furlongs on the main track.

Friday's feature comes in Race 8, a six-furlong, entry-level optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds and up. Favored at 7-5 in the program is Charles McGill's Maryland homebred Cry No More, a winner of two of his last three races including a popular front-running 6 ¼-length off-the-turf restricted allowance score May 6 at Pimlico. His only loss in that span came in the mud in an open allowance April 25 at Pimlico to Heir Port, who also returns in this spot as the 8-5 second choice.

In addition to the Rainbow 6, the 50-cent Late Pick 5 will have a carryover of $115,038.40 from Sunday's program. The popular wager gets under way in Race 5, a claiming sprint for fillies and mares 3 and up which have never won two races, scheduled for five furlongs on the grass. A field of 16 was entered, including Acadian Girl for main track only and four also-eligibles.

If a pair of six-figure carryovers aren't enough to whet bettors' appetites, the $1 Super Hi-5 will offer a carryover of $5,876.76 starting in Race 2, where 11 fillies and mares 3 and up are entered for the 1 1/16-mile starter-optional claimer on the grass.

Live racing continues Saturday and Sunday at Pimlico as well as a special Memorial Day holiday program Monday, May 31. With ongoing renovations to Laurel Park's main track, the Preakness Meet at Pimlico has been extended to Sunday, June 27.
