Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Carryover Passes $300,000

Gulfstream Park will have a carryover of $303,873 on its Rainbow 6 on Sunday.

First post is 1:15 p.m. for a ten-race card.  The Rainbow 6 starts on the fifth race with scheduled post of 3:25 p.m.

Conditions are listed as fast and firm. The Weather Channel forecast is for a zero percent chance of rain during racing hours.

Saturday was the 16^th straight race day with multiple winning tickets in the Rainbow 6—thus continuing the carryover.

There were three tickets with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races.  Each of those tickets received $19,489.98. for a 20-cent bet.

Gulfstream pays out the Rainbow 6 jackpot only on days when there is just one ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races.

The jackpot is the combination of the full  carryover plus 80 percent of the day’s new Rainbow 6 bet (20 percent takeout).

On days with multiple winning tickets, Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day’s Rainbow 6 bet. It then divides 56 percent of the day’s Rainbow 6 bet among tickets with the most winners (usually six) and adds 24 percent to the carryover.

On Saturday, the carryover coming in was $278,814. Bettors added $104,450 to the Rainbow 6 pool.

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.
