Fast and Firm Today at Both Florida Tracks

The dirt tracks are listed as fast and the turf courses are listed as firm today at Gulfstream Park, where the Rainbow 6 frenzy is building, and at Tampa Bay Downs.

The first post is 12:25 p.m. for Tampa Bay's ten-race card. Four races are scheduled for turf. According to the Weather Channel, there is zero percent chance of rain this afternoon in and around Oldsmar where the track is located.

First post is 12:35 p.m. for Gulfstream's 11-race  card.

The Rainbow 6 is on races six to 11, with the sequence scheduled to start at 3:05 p.m.  The carryover is $4,003,307.

Six races, including four in the Rainbow 6, are scheduled for turf. According to the Weather Channel, there is just a 20 percent chance of rain this afternoon in and around Hallandale Beach where Gulfstream is located.

We will have a preview of the Rainbow 6 early this afternoon and  will monitor it later in the day.

The carryover is second largest in Rainbow 6 history, trailing one that reached almost $6.4 million in May 2014.
 
It keeps growing because Sunday was the 49th straight day without the jackpot-hitting requirement of just one ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races.  
Today, Thursday and Friday will be the final three race days before Saturday's mandatory payout of the day's pool and full carryover--no matter the number of winning tickets. --Jim Freer
