The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1 million when racing resumes Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
First race post is noon.
The Rainbow 6 has not been hit by a single winning ticket in 14 consecutive days. Multiple tickets with six winners Saturday returned $4,015.80.
Sunday's Rainbow 6 begins with the sixth race, a mile turf event for 3-year-olds and up that attracted a field of nine. The seventh race and second in the Rainbow 6 sequence is a $50,000 maiden event for 3-year-olds that has a 9-5 morning-line favorite in El Pillo. There are four turf races in Sunday's Rainbow 6 with the final two races being run on the grass.
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.
There will be a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 on Sunday, August 2.
