Gulfstream Park will have a
carryover of $339,873.99 on its Rainbow 6 when it resumes racing on Wednesday.
First post is 12:35 p.m. for a ten-race
card. The Rainbow 6 begins on the fifth
race.
The first race will have a carryover
of $7,734.24 on the Super Hi-5. It is a $1 minimum bet that requires picking
the first five finishers in correct order, with no consolation payoffs.
There is a carryover because on
Sunday there were no Super Hi-5 winners on any of the last three races that had
seven or more starters and thus offered it.
On Sunday, there were 29 tickets
with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races. Each of those tickets received
$2,713.28 on a 20-cent bet.
The carryover going into Wednesday
was $306,710. Bettors added $138,208 to the Rainbow 6 pool.
Gulfstream pays out the Rainbow 6 jackpot (carryover
plus 80 percent of the day’s bet) only on days when there is just one ticket
with the winners of all six races.
Sunday was the tenth straight day when there were
multiple tickets with all six winners, thus continuing the carryover.
On days with
multiple winning tickets Gulfstream takes out the 20 percent. It then divides
56 percent among tickets with the most winners (in Sunday’s case six) and puts
24 percent into the carryover.
The Rainbow 6 is a 20-cent per
combination-only bet. Multiple horses can be used in each race, thus setting up
a ticket with multiple 20 cent combinations. For example, a ticket
with two horses in each race has 64 combinations and costs $12.80.
