Friday will be the second-to-last
day of Gulfstream Park’s summer meet, and it will have a Rainbow 6 carryover of $104,270.
The carryover coming into Thursday was $89,560.
Friday’s first post will be 1:15
p.m. for an 11-race card. The Rainbow 6
will be on races six through eleven.
And anticipation is growing for Saturday,
when there will be a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 jackpot. That means that
the entire Rainbow 6 carryover plus 80 percent of Saturday’s Rainbow 6 bet
(there is a 20 percent takeout) must be paid off and it will be divided among all
tickets with the winning horses in all six races.
Especially if the carryover
continues, it is likely that $1 million or more will be bet on the Rainbow
6. And as Gulfstream notes—it all must
be paid out.
If there are no tickets with all six
winners, the jackpot will be divided among tickets with five winners.
On non-mandatory days, Gulfstream
pays out the carryover/jackpot only when there
is just one ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races.
On those days, when there are multiple
tickets with six winners Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day’s pool and
then divides 56 percent among winning tickets and puts 24 percent into the
carryover.
On Thursday, $61,344 was bet on the
Rainbow 6. There were 21 tickets with all six winners, and each received
$1,602.76.
