A Super Hi-5 carryover of $112,178 on the first race
will be the main attraction at Gulfstream Park when it resumes racing on
Wednesday.
Post time for the first race is 12:35 p.m., starting an
11-race card.
There is a Super Hi-5 carryover because there were no
winning tickets on that bet on any of the last three races on Sunday,
Gulfstream’s last racing day.
It is a $1 minimum bet that requires picking the first
five finishers in correct order. There are no consolation payoffs. The takeout
is 17 percent on each race’s bet.
Wednesday’s first race is 6 ½ furlongs on dirt for
4-year-olds and up that have never won two races. It is a $6,250 claiming race
with a $15,000 purse. There are nine entrants.
We will have a preview on Wednesday morning.
Based on Gulfstream wagering history with overnight
carryovers, it is likely that more than $200,000 will be bet on the Super Hi-5
in Wednesday’s first race.
While exact records are not available, the $112,178 carryover
is one of Gulfstream’s largest ever on the Super Hi-5.
On Sunday, there was just one winning ticket on the
Rainbow 6. That ticket took down the carryover/jackpot pool of $210,578.16.
Gulfstream will start a new Rainbow 6 pool on
Wednesday. It will be on races six to eleven.
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. The takeout
is 20 percent.
