Mandatory Payout: Nicoletti Likes Fawkes, Sutherland, And Riveting Spirit

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is set for Saturday's program at Gulfstream Park, highlighting the final weekend of the inaugural Fall Meet.

The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for the 21 racing days in a row following a $461,035.47 jackpot payoff Oct. 9.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool stood at $450,473.78 entering betting on Saturday, when the pool is expected to grow over $3 million.

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 5-10, including four races on the Tapeta all-weather course and two on the main track.

Gulfstream host and analyst Ron Nicoletti says to use a couple 6-1 shots, both ridden by Chantal Sutherland, and not to forget Riveting Spirit in the final leg.

A 'spread' race kicks of the sequence in Race 5, a mile-and-70-yard route for $20,000 claiming fillies and mares on Tapeta.

A full field of 12 juvenile fillies has been entered in Race 6, a six-furlong sprint at six furlongs for $50,000 maiden claimers, including eight first-time starters. Joe Orseno-trained Keen Kingdom, a daughter of Animal Kingdom, is a debuting half-sister to a Grade 2 stakes winner on turf. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Illogical Love, a daughter of Classic Empire, is also scheduled to debut.

A well-balanced field of fillies and mares has been assembled for Race 7, a 1 1/16-mile route over the all-weather track for $20,000 claimers. Gerald Brooks-trained Midnight Bella, a two-time winner over Presque Isle's Tapeta course in September; Little Bit Good, who makes her first start for dangerous off-the-claimer trainer Gilberto Zerpa; Anthony Margotta Jr.-trained Diamond Play, who hasn't been off the board in her last seven starts; and Elizabeth Dobles-trained Pearlescent, who rolled to a nine-length win in her Tapeta debut against weaker last time out; all figured to be well represented on many handicappers' tickets.

Race 8, a mile event for $6250 claimers on the main track, will likely provide a stern handicapping test for Rainbow 6 bettors. Peter Walder-trained Mr. Tito's, who won first off the claim at the same level last time out; Herbert Miller-trained Doctor D J, who was just a neck behind Mr. Tito's; and Mark Casse-trained Kramden, dropping down while switching to dirt, over which he has finished first and second in three outings; figure to be included on many tickets.

David Fawkes-trained Riveting Spirit will seek a repeat victory in the Race 9 feature, a 1 1/16-mile starter optional claiming allowance for fillies and mares on Tapeta. Riveting Spirit, who has a win and a second-place finish on Tapeta, is a half-sister to multiple-stakes winner Noble Drama. The 4-year-old Florida-bred filly is out of Queen Drama, a half-sister to Big Drama, the Eclipse Award-winning sprint champion, and a full sister to Sheer Drama, a multiple Grade 1-stakes winner. Carlos David-trained Centsless Drama, an ultra-consistent daughter of Big Drama; and Ralph Nicks-trained Katz a Dream, who beat slightly weaker while romping to victory in her Tapeta debut; are rated first and second, respectively, in the morning-line.

Jane Cibelli-trained Flowmotion, a hard-hitting turf veteran with back success on Tapeta, is among the strongest contenders in Race 10. The mile-and-70-yard route on Tapeta for $12,500 claimers may well be viewed as another 'spread' race by bettors looking for multiple chances should they be alive into the last race.

First-race post time for Saturday's 10-race program is set for 12:30 p.m.

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.

Gulfstream's inaugural Fall Meet will conclude on Sunday.

The 2021-2022 Championship Meet is scheduled to get underway Friday, Dec. 3.

Gulfstream Park: Nicoletti’s Longshots For Saturday’s Mandatory Payout Rainbow 6

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will highlight Saturday's 12-race Gulfstream Park program in Hallandale Beach, Fla., which will also feature the $75,000 Sheer Drama Stakes and the $60,000 North Bay Village Handicap.

The mandatory-payout pool of the popular multi-race wager is expected to grow over $2.5 million Saturday. Following Friday's program, the jackpot pool swelled to $588,559.89.

The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for 21 consecutive racing days since a July 31 mandatory payout. The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool 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.

Ron Nicoletti's Rainbow 6 longshots:

Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 7-12, headlined by the Sheer Drama in Race 11. The seven-furlong stakes for Florida-bred fillies and mares attracted a well-stocked field of eight sprinters, including multiple graded stakes-placed Sound Machine. The Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained 4-year-old daughter of Into Mischief is coming off a third-place finish in the $250,000 Princess Rooney (G2). Kathleen O'Connell-trained Thissmytime, who set the track record for seven-furlongs at Gulfstream Park West last fall, will seek to improve on a pair of subpar showings that followed a runner-up finish in the Jan. 23 Inside Information (G2) at Gulfstream. Multiple-stakes winners Heiressall and Starship Bonita are also entered.

The Rainbow 6 sequence is kicked off by a mile maiden special weight race for fillies and mares on turf in Race 7. Tom Proctor-trained Free Data, who is working sharply at Palm Meadows after coming up short in the stretch lasthttps://youtu.be/ time out, is the lukewarm 3-1 morning-line favorite in what will likely be a popular 'spread' race with Rainbow 6 bettors.

Joe Orseno-trained Call Bros, a winner over slightly weaker rivals last time out, figures to receive solid support in Race 8, a 7 ½-furlong turf races for 3-year-olds and up in which there appear to be several upset possibilities. Race 9, a six-furlong maiden special weight race for Florida-bred juveniles, is headed by Juan Carlos Avila-trained Spuntacular, the 6-5 favorite who ran second and third in his first two career starts under less-than-ideal trips. Georgina Baxter-trained R Big G, a son of The Big Beast, Bob Hess Jr.-trained Birdnote, a son of Noble Bird, and Patrick Biancone-trained Mr Rum Runner, a son of Uncaptured, are interesting first-time starters with strong series of works.

Rohan Crichton-trained Captain Ron, a turf sprinter who won two of his last three starts, is rated as the 9-5 morning-line favorite in Race 10, an optional claiming allowance at five furlongs on turf. Trainer Steve Klesaris, who has a deft hand with turf sprinters will be represented by The Virginian. Carlos David-trained Discreet Tune looked sharp last time out while facing weaker.

The Sheer Drama will be followed by a 7 ½-furlong turf race for $20,000 claimers in Race 12 that should pose a challenge to Rainbow 6 bettors. Richard Silvestri-trained Catching Fish is the 3-1 morning-line favorite on the strength of beating better last time out. Uno Tiger is scheduled to make his turf debut for trainer Kathleen O'Connell. The son of Macho Uno is out of a mare who won both on dirt and turf.

A maiden special weight race for 2-year-olds at 7 ½ furlongs on turf will kick off Saturday's program. Trainer Mark Casse will unveil Michael Tabor's War Strategy, a son of War Front out of Coolmore, a Group 3 stakes-winning daughter of Galileo. Trainer Herman Wilensky and Harry Orgo's Harry's Onthebeach, a half-brother to stakes-winner Harry's Ontheloose, will make his second start after finishing a troubled second in his debut.

Tom Proctor-trained Summering will concede two and seven pounds to her rivals in the North Bay Village, a mile overnight handicap for fillies and mares on turf carded as Race 5. The multiple stakes-winning 5-year-old daughter of War Front, who will carry 124 pounds, will seek to rebound from an even fourth-place finish in the Ginger Punch.

Gulfstream Park: Nicoletti Handicaps Saturday’s Mandatory Payout Rainbow 6

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 will be held Saturday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., with bettors' hopes of taking down a life-changing score riding high.

The Rainbow 6 carryover jackpot stands at $464,802.90 going into Saturday's 12-race program that gets under way at 12:20 p.m. The pool is expected to grow to $2.5 million Saturday or more after Rainbow 6 betting.

The popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for the 14 racing days since a lucky ticketholder broke the jackpot May 29 for a $400,000 payoff.

Gulfstream host and analyst Ron Nicoletti gives his Rainbow 6 ticket with a best bet and longshot

The $75,000 Not Surprising, a stakes for 3-year-olds scheduled for a mile on turf, will be featured on Saturday's program, as well as the mandatory payout that is always popular with bettors looking for a big payday.

The search for a 'single' in Saturday's Rainbow 6 sequence (Races 7-12), may prove to be challenge for handicappers. The sequence will be kicked off by a $12,500 maiden claiming race for 3-year-olds and up. The 5 ½-furlong dash that drew a field of 10 will likely be a popular 'spread race.'

Race 8 is a starter optional claiming allowance scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on turf. Efren Loza Jr.-trained Kartano, who finished a close third in the English Channel last time out, is rated as the 7-5 morning-line favorite in a field of 10. Tellington, who finished second in his first start for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr., is likely to be included in many Rainbow 6 tickets. Should the Race be taken off the turf, Gods Promise, the only main-track only entrant, is slated to make his first start for trainer Jorge Delgado, who has been deadly with horses off the claim.

A $16,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs follows in Race 9. Kathern's Joy, who missed earning his diploma by a neck against slightly weaker company, is rated as the 2-1 morning-line favorite in a field of nine. Boldness, who had a troubled trip from the rail post in his debut against better, may be viewed as a solid value play for bettors who are fans of trainer David Fawkes.

Saffie Joseph Jr. figures to be well-represented in Race 10 weather the $12,500 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up stays on turf or is moved to the main track. Calabash will be looking to make amends after finishing an even fourth at 3-5 in his first start for Joseph. Berhanu, a main-track-only entrant, rated at 5-2, is slated for a drop from $25,000 company.

Union Gap has shown he knows how to win, having won three in a row but the 5-2 morning-line favorite is slated to jump from the bottom level to the $12,500 claiming level for Race 11, a mile race for 3-year-olds and up.

The Rainbow 6 sequence concludes in Race 12, a $12,500 maiden claimer for 3-year-olds and up that is scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on turf. Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained Kick in the Gas, the 8-5 morning-line favorite formerly trained by Christophe Clement, drops from a fourth-place finish in his April 10 debut against $35,000 maiden claimers. With no main-track-entrants, handicapping the race should prove most testing should the race be moved to the main track.

Another Rainbow 6 mandatory payout is scheduled for Wednesday, June 30, on the final program of the fiscal year. A racing card will also be conducted on Thursday, July 1, the first day of the new fiscal year. There will be no live racing next Friday leading up to the Fourth of July Weekend. The holiday weekend will be highlighted by the Summit of Speed program on Saturday, July 3, featuring the $350,000 Princess Rooney Invitational (G2), a seven-furlong Breeders' Cup 'Win and You're In' sprint for fillies and mares; the $200,000 Smile Sprint Invitational (G3), a six-furlong stakes for 3-year-olds and up; and the $100,000 Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint, a five-furlong dash for 3-year-olds and up, Sunday, July 4.

NOTE: Trainer Kathleen O'Connell sent three horses to the track Friday and all three were winners. O'Connell won with Well Defined ($3.20) in the second, World Gone Wild ($9.80) in the sixth and Gingeronmymind ($12) in the ninth.

Nicoletti, Mailloux Handicap Saturday’s Mandatory Payout Rainbow 6 At Gulfstream

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool is set for Saturday at Gulfstream Park, and there will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover going into the first race of $3,766.40.

The Rainbow 6 wager went unsolved Friday for the 10th racing day since an April 17 mandatory payout, producing a carryover pool of $419,268.47 heading into Saturday's mandatory payout.

Ron Nicoletti & Ashley Mailloux sit down and handicap Saturday's mandatory Rainbow 6, a sequence with full fields and the English Channel Stakes.

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. However, on mandatory payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 pool is disbursed to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners.

The Rainbow 6 sequence will be kicked off by a six-furlong maiden special weight event for 3-year-olds and up in Race 7. Todd Pletcher-trained Splashtown, a 3-year-old son of Speightstown, and Kent Sweezey-trained Prowler, a sophomore son of Quality Road, are among three first-time starters in a field of 11. Mauricio Fuentes-trained Maddy's Dream, who finished second in his April 17 debut despite an awkward start, is like to receive a lot of attention from bettors.

Race 8, a mile race for $6250 claimers at a mile, will quickly be identified as a 'spread' race by many Rainbow 6 players.

Setting the Mood, who is scheduled to make his first start for leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. after being claimed for $20,000 out of a third-place finish, has been installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite in Race 9, a mile turf race for $20,000 claiming fillies and mares that have not won two races lifetime. The former Todd Pletcher-trained 4-year-old filly, who finished fourth in the 2020 Belmont Oaks Invitational (G1), will clash with nine other well-matched fillies and mares.

Race 10, a six-furlong sprint for fillies and mares that haven't won two races lifetime, is likely to become another popular 'spread' race.

The English Channel, a 1 1/16-mile turf stakes for 3-year-olds, should also provide a strong challenge to handicappers in Race 11. Trainer Carlos David's highly regarded duo of Fulmini and Hot Blooded drew the two far outside posts, just inside Yes This Time, the 3-1 morning-line favorite in a field of 10, not including two main-track-only entrants.

A full field of $12,500 claimers will contest Race 12, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for 3-year-olds and up. Joseph-trained Keep Quiet, who is coming off a victory in $16,000 claiming company, is the 3-1 morning-line favorite.
