Gulfstream Park will have a Rainbow
6 carryover of $107,071.30
on Friday.
First post is 12:50 p.m. for a 10-race
card. The Rainbow 6 is on races five through ten
Friday’s first race has a carryover
of $1,388.32 on the Super Hi-5.
That bet requires picking the first five finishers in correct order,
with no consolation payoffs such as four
of five. There were no winning
Super Hi-5 tickets in Thursday’s tenth
and final race..
The Rainbow 6 carryover continues to
grow because Thursday was the 11th straight
race day without the carryover/jackpot payoff requirement of just one
ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races.
On Thursday there were
three tickets with all six winners. Each received $9,762.46.
The carryover coming in was $95,482.
Bettors added $48,314 to the pool.
Gulfstream took
out 20 percent of the day's Rainbow 6 bet. It divided 56 percent among tickets
with six winners and put 24 percent into the carryover.
There
were 49 starters in Thursday's Rainbow 6 races, for an average field size of
8.2.
Many
Rainbow 6 bettors were no doubt knocked out by Vendita, winner of the seventh
race at 14-1, or by Aethon, winner of the ninth race at 8-1.
Both
led at every call and won on turf—Vendita at 7 ½ furlongs and Aethon at five
furlongs.
As
serious fans and bettors know, gate-to-wire wins on turf have been very rare
during Gulfstream’s summer meet.
However,
four of Thursday’s six turf races were won by horses that led at
every point of call.
Following
overnight rains the Gulfstream turf course on Thursday was listed as good—a
rare day this summer when it was not
listed as firm.
It
is expected that on Friday, the turf will be listed as firm—likely favoring
stalkers and closers.
Five
of Friday’s races are on turf, all with the rail at 96 feet. The sixth, eighth and tenth races are on turf
and part of the Rainbow 6.
The
Rainbow 6 is a 20-cent per combination only bet, Bettors can use multiple
horses in each race and thus have multiple combinations.
