Friday at Gulfstream: Mandatory Payouts

Friday is a mandatory payout day at Gulfstream Park, and as usual the big focus is on the Rainbow 6 where the carryover is $80,790.29.

The card has nine races with first post of 2:15 p.m. 

Conditions are listed as fast and firm and the Weather Channel forecast is for a 15 percent chance of rain during racing hours.

The Rainbow 6 is on races four to nine, with the sequence set to start at 3:58 p.m.  It is a 20 cent only bet--with multiple horses permitted in each race and thus the option of multiple bets on a ticket.

Gulfstream officials expect that $250,000 or more could be bet on the Rainbow 6 on Friday.

Because of the mandatory payout, Gulfstream will pay the Rainbow 6 jackpot regardless of the number of tickets 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 non-mandatory days, Gulfstream pays out the Rainbow 6 jackpot only when there is just one ticket with the winners of all six Rainbow 6 races. When there are multiple winning tickets on non-mandatory days Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day’s bet, divides 56 percent among tickets with the most winners (usually six) and adds 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.

On Friday, Gulfstream also will have mandatory payouts on the Late Pick 5, on races five to nine, and on the Super, Hi-5 in the last race.

Favorite Wins Tampa Opener

Clouded Appeal, the 3-2 favorite, beat Secret Recipe by 1 1/4 lengths in Friday's  first race at Tampa Bay Downs.

The race was a $16,000  claimer  at  five  furlongs on turf for fillies  and  mares  3-YO and  up.
Clouded  Appeal won in 56.22  seconds on the course  listed as firm.

Federico Mata rode Clouded Appeal for  trainer Javier  Negrete  and owner J and R Equine Corp.   

We will have  periodic  reports during the race  day.

On Friday evening we will  have  a recap and a  preview of Saturday's card at Tampa Bay Downs.

Opener Coming up at Tampa

Conditions are fast and firm,  but thunderstorms are in the forecast.

Rainbow 6 Carryover is $80,790 on Mandatory Friday

Gulfstream  Park's Rainbow 6  carryover for Friday is $80,790.29--and it all must go.

Friday,  which is June 30, is a mandatory payout day on the Rainbow 6--as well as on the Late Pick 5 and the Super Hi-5.  It is the last day of Florida's fiscal  year, and pari-mutuels cannot carry over a bet into Saturday which is July 1.

Friday's  card has nine races with  first post of 2:15 p.m.  The Rainbow  6 is on races four to nine, with the sequence  set  to  start at 3:58 p.m.  It is a 20 cent only bet--with multiple horses permitted in each race and thus the option of multiple bets on a ticket.

Gulfstream officials expect that $250,000 or  more  could be bet on the Rainbow 6 on Friday.

Going into Friday, the Late Pick 5 and Super Hi-5 do not have carryovers.

Rainbow 6: 23 Live Tickets, One Single

Wild Mongolia, at 45-1, won Thursday's  ninth race at Gulfstream to set up some wild exotics possibilities in the tenth and final race.

If Burning Wild Wins, there is one ticket that would take down the Rainbow 6 jackpot and pay 
$118,721.56.
That is one of 23 live tickets. If any ticket other than the one with Burning Wild (5) wins there will be a Rainbow 6 carryover of about $81,000 on Friday--which is a Mandatory payout day on the Rainbow 6, the Late Pick 5  and the Super Hi-5.

In the upcoming tenth race there is a Super Hi-5 carryover of $5,675.04.
 

Gulfstream Mandatory Payouts for Friday

 Gulfstream Park will have mandatory payouts on Friday on the Rainbow 6, Late Pick 5 and Super Hi-5.

Friday is closing day of Gulfstream’s Spring Meet and the last day of Florida’s 2016-2017 fiscal year. For both reasons, a pari-mutuel cannot have a carryover into the next race day.

First post is 2:15 p.m. for a nine-race card.

*Rainbow 6 – It will be on races four to nine, with the sequence set to start at 3:58 p.m.  It is a 20-cent only bet.
The carryover going into Thursday was $64,534.  If there is no single ticket “jackpot winner” on Thursday, the carryover for Friday probably will be about $90,000.  In that case, there probably will be more than $200,000 bet on the Rainbow 6.

On Friday, Gulfstream will pay out the entire carryover plus 80 percent of the day’s new Rainbow 6 bets (20 percent takeout) —regardless of the number of tickets with winners of all six races.  If five, or even fewer, is the most winners those tickets will divide the jackpot.

*Late Pick 5 – 50 cent minimum bet on races five to nine.  Usually, if there are no tickets with all five winners, Gulfstream makes a consolation payout on tickets with 4 of 5 and puts most of the pool into a carryover.  If there are no tickets with five winners on Friday, Gulfstream will divide the pool (minus 15 percent takeout) among tickets with the most winners.

*Super Hi-5 – requires picking the first five finishers in correct order with no consolation payouts such as picking the first four spots.  Usually if there are no 5-of-5 tickets, Gulfstream takes out 18 percent of the bet and puts 82 percent into a carryover.

On Friday’s ninth and final race, Gulfstream will pay out the carryover and 82 percent of new bets even if there are no tickets with the first five finishers in correct order.
