Gulfstream Park will have a guaranteed pool of $300,000
on its Rainbow 6 on Saturday.
First post will be 1:15 p.m. for an 11-race card. The Rainbow 6 will be on the sixth race, which has a scheduled post of 3:58 p.m.
That will follow a wild Friday on which there were
no Rainbow 6 tickets with all six winners.
There were three tickets with five winners. Each received $16,256.94 on a
20-cent bet.
The rare lack of at least one ticket with six winners
was a consequence of four winners at
13-1 odds or higher in the Rainbow 6 races.. In the fourth race (first leg of the Rainbow
6) the winner was Uncle Runt at 104-1.
Per its rules for days without the jackpot take down
requirement of just one ticket with all six winners, Gulfstream added $20,902
to the carryover—raising it to $159,786.
Thus, just over $140,000 will have to be bet for the
pool to hit $300,000. If it falls short,
Gulfstream will make up the difference.
But based on betting patterns on Saturdays, it is likely
that bettors at Gulfstream and at other locations will combine to wager
$200,000 or more on the Rainbow 6.
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.
*On the first race, there is an overnight carryover of
$2,653.97 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.
