Gulfstream Carryovers, Guarantees for Saturday

Gulfstream Park will have a Carryover of $666,757 on its Rainbow 6 on Saturday.

First post is 12:35 p.m. for the13-race card. The Rainbow 6 is on races eight through 13.

Also on Saturday, Gulfstream will have guaranteed pools on the Rainbow 6, the Late Pick 4 and Late Pick 5.

The guarantees:
*Rainbow 6 -- $900,000 (Races 8 to 13), 20 cent-only, guarantee includes the carryover

*Late Pick 5 -- $200,000 (Races 9 to 13) 50-cent minimum
*Late Pick 4 -- $250,000, 50-cent minimum

If any of the pools are less than the guaranteed amounts, Gulfstream will put in money to make up the difference.

 On Saturday’s first  race, Gulfstream has a carryover of $5,575.41. It is a $1 minimum bet that requires picking the first five finishers in correct order, with no consolation payoffs.

The Rainbow 6 carryover has been growing because Friday was the 16^th straight race day without the jackpot payoff requirement of just one ticket with the winners of all  six Rainbow 6 races.

The jackpot is the full carryover plus 80 percent of the day’s new Rainbow 6 bets.

On Friday, the Rainbow 6 carryover coming in was $626,326.

Bettors added $226,825 to the Rainbow 6 pool.

There were 143 tickets with all six winners. Each received  $885.06. After its 20 percent takeout, Gulfstream divided 56 percent of the day’s bet among the tickets with six  winners.   It then added 24 percent  to 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.
