HorseRacingFLA Staff Report
Racing will resume at Gulfstream Park and at Tampa Bay
Downs on Wednesday afternoon, amid the excitement of a Rainbow 6 carryover above
$1.35 million at Gulfstream and the anticipation of this weekend’s stakes races
at both tracks.
The Wednesday action at Gulfstream will start at 11:00
a.m. with the draw for post positions for Saturday’s $1 million Florida Derby
(Grade 1). It will be one of nine stakes
races on the Saturday card.
On the track on Wednesday, Gulfstream has an 11-race card with first post at 12:35 p.m.
The carryover on the Rainbow 6 is $1,354,777. It is on races six to 11 with the sequence
set to start at 3:02 p.m.
The carryover has been growing because Sunday was the
23rd straight race day without the jackpot payoff requirement of just
one ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races. The jackpot on the 20-cent
only bet consists of 80 percent of the day’s Rainbow 6 bet plus the full
carryover.
At Tampa Bay Downs, the Wednesday card has nine races
with first post of 12:55 p.m.
On Sunday, Tampa Bay will have the 15th
annual Florida Cup with six stakes
races. All of those races have $100,000 purses and are restricted to
Florida breds.
We will be at Gulfstream on Wednesday and will have
coverage, including the Florida Derby draw, on this blog.
