Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Carryover Nears $300,000



Gulfstream Park will have a Rainbow 6 carryover of $298,059 on Friday.

First post is 1:00 p.m. for a ten-race card.  The Rainbow 6 is on races five to ten.

The carryover continues to grow because Thursday was the 19th 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 141 tickets with all six winners. Each received $299.24.

The carryover coming in was $280,008.  Bettors added $75,238 to the Rainbow 6 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 53 starters in Thursday’s Rainbow 6 races, for an average field size of  8.8.  All of the six winners were at 5-1 or lower, including three favorites.  That was a main reason for the relatively low winning price.

The Rainbow 6 is a 20-cent per combination only bet, Bettors can use multiple horses in each race and thus have multiple combinations.
