Rainbow 6 | Horse Racing Free Tips

Anchored By Fountain Of Youth, Saturday’s Rainbow 6 Pool Guaranteed At $700,000

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $700,000 Saturday Gulfstream Park, where the $300,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2) will headline a 14-race program with nine stakes, eight graded. (Race 1 post time is set for 11:30 a.m.)

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Friday for the fourth straight racing day since a lucky bettor broke the jackpot for $712,824.06 Saturday. Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $1,688.00 Friday.

The jackpot pool 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.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 9-14 and will be kicked off by the $200,000 WinStar Gulfstream Park Mile (G2) and completed by the Fountain of Youth, the key prep for the $750,000 Curlin Florida Derby (G1) presented by Hill 'n Dale at Xalapa.

Shug McGaughey-trained Performer, who captured the Jan. 23 Fred W. Hooper (G3) at Gulfstream, is the 2-1 morning-line favorite in a field of eight older horses in the Gulfstream Park Mile. Danny Gargan-trained Tax, who finished off-the-board in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) after winning the Harlan's Holiday (G3) impressively, is rated second at 5-2. Steve Budhoo-trained Eye of a Jedi, who finished a neck behind Performer in the Hooper, will return in the Gulfstream Mile.

A 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance for older horses on turf, which will be designated as a 'spread' race by many bettors, follows in Race 10.

Mark Casse-trained Got Stormy, the popular multiple Grade 1 stakes-winning mare, will make her 2021 debut in the $125,000 Honey Fox (G3) in Race 11. Brendan Walsh-trained Zofelle, who captured the Jan. 23 Marshua's River (G3) at Gulfstream, will also get considerable support from bettors.

Champion Vequist will be widely viewed as a 'single' by many Rainbow 6 bettors when she makes her 2021 debut in the $200,000 Davona Dale (G2) in Race 12. The Butch Reid-trained daughter of Nyquist captured the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Keeneland Nov. 6.

The $125,000 The Very One (G3) in Race 13 will be contested by a very balanced field of older fillies and mares that may well prove to be the most testing leg of the sequence for bettors.

Greatest Honour, a 5 ¾-length winner of the Jan. 30 Holy Bull (G3), is rated as the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the Fountain of Youth, which also attracted Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) winner Fire At Will, Holy Bull runner-up Tarantino and Swale (G3) winner Drain the Clock in a deep field of 10.

WHO'S HOT: Jose Ortiz ride a pair of winners, scoring aboard Ray Arewethereyet ($4.40) in Race 1 and Thorover ($3) in Race 5.

Santa Anita: Mandatory Payout Could Drive Saturday’s Pick 6 Jackpot Over $5 Million

With a mandatory payout in place, 100 horses entered and eligible to run, average field size for Saturday's highly anticipated 20 cent Rainbow Pick 6 Jackpot at Santa Anita stands at 10 runners per race, ensuring the possibility of $5 million Jackpot pool at the Arcadia, Calif., track.

First post time for a 10-race card Saturday is at 12 noon Pacific and assigned post time for race five, the first installment in the Rainbow 6, is set for 2:08 p.m. PT. With a Jackpot carryover of $843,235 into Friday, track officials have projected Saturday's total Jackpot pool could exceed $5 million.

(Fans are advised that Saturday's Jackpot pool projection is based upon there being no single ticket winner on Friday. First post time for an eight-race card Friday is at 12:30 p.m.).

Here is a brief race-by-race look at Saturday's 20 cent Rainbow Pick 6, with the morning line favorite in each race.

Race 5 Approximate post time 2:08 p.m. PT

CA Bred or Sired Maiden 3-year-old Fillies
Claiming $50,000-$45,000
6 ½ Furlongs
Purse $35,000

A field of 12 has been assembled, with the Steve Knapp-trained Smoothlikebuttah designated as the 7-2 morning line favorite. Most recently sixth going one mile on turf in the California Cup Oaks Jan. 16, this daughter of Mr. Big will be running for a claiming tag for the first time in what will be her ninth career start. Knapp is enjoying a high percentage meeting and Smoothlikebuttah will be ridden for the first time by Joel Rosario, who will be tasked with working out a winning trip from the rail.

Race 6
Allowance, 4-year-olds and up
1 1/8 Mile Turf
Purse $63,000

With a field of 10, Joel Rosario once again lands on the morning line favorite, as he sticks with English-bred Whisper Not, who comes off a close third place finish in the opening day Grade 2 Mathis Brothers Mile. Trained by Richard Baltas, Whisper Not, who has been installed as the 9-5 early choice, will be making his third stateside start for Baltas and will likely employ a stalking style as he stretches out a furlong from his number six post position.

Race 7
GRADE 2 SAN VICENTE STAKES
3-year-olds
Seven Furlongs
Purse $200,000

An important prep to the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 3, the San Vicente will be contested by five sophomores, including two trained by Bob Baffert. Concert Tour, who has drawn the outside with Joel Rosario, comes off a smashing 3 ½-length first-out maiden win going six furlongs on Jan. 15 and has been designated the 8-5 favorite. Baffert's Freedom Fighter, idle since breaking his maiden at first asking going five furlongs on Aug. 1 at Del Mar, is the co-second choice at 5-2 along with Eric Kruljac's California-bred The Chosen Vron, who trounced nine statebred rivals by 6 ¾ lengths on Dec. 27.

Race 8
GRADE 3 THUNDER ROAD STAKES
4-year-olds and up
One Mile Turf
Purse: $100,000

In what appears to be a wide-open affair, 5-year-old Bob and Jackie has been designated the 5-2 morning line favorite among a field of eight. Most recently second in the Grade 2 San Gabriel Stakes going a mile and one eighth on turf Jan. 2, this 5-year-old horse by Twirling Candy cuts back to a distance at which he's won on three of six occasions. Trained by Richard Baltas, he'll be ridden by Heriberto Figueroa from post seven.

Race 9
4-year-olds and up
Claiming $16,000- $12,500
6 ½ Furlongs
Purse $24,000

The Rainbow Six doesn't get any easier in leg five, which has attracted a field of 12. Trained by Vladimir Cerin, lightly raced Threearchbaymafia drew post eight, takes a notable drop in class from allowance company on Jan. 1 and is the tepid 4-1 morning line favorite. A maiden $20,000 claiming winner going 5 ½ furlongs two starts back at Del Mar Nov. 15, this 4-year-old colt by Will Take Charge finished eighth in a six furlong allowance last time out and will get the first-time services of Umberto Rispoli in what will be his fourth career start.

Race 10
Maiden 3-year-old Fillies
Claiming $50,000-$45,000
6 ½ Furlongs
Purse: $35,000

In yet another seemingly wide-open affair, the Peter Eurton-trained Agreetodisagree looms as the 7-2 morning line favorite in a field of 12. Fifth, beaten 20 ½ lengths in a one-mile maiden special weight here on Jan. 8, this 3-year-old Kentucky-bred filly by Runhappy cuts back in distance and takes a massive drop in class in what will be her fourth start. To be ridden for the third consecutive time by Mario Gutierrez, Agreetodisagree, who drew post position seven, will be running for a claiming tag for the first time.

With first post time set for 12 noon, fans are encouraged to tune into santaanita.com/live at 10:50 a.m. for an in-depth handicapping seminar hosted by Track Announcer Frank Mirahmadi and Tom Quigley.
