Friday is Rainbow 6 frenzy day minus one at Gulfstream Park.
On Saturday, Gulfstream will have a mandatory payoff
on the full Rainbow 6 pool--all of the carryover and 80 percent of the day’s
new Rainbow 6 wagering.
On Friday, Gulfstream has a nine-race card with a “twilight
Friday” first post of 2:15 p.m.
The Rainbow 6 has a carryover of $951,477. It is on the fourth through ninth races with the sequence scheduled to start at
3:58.p.m.
On the first race there is a carryover of $10,122 on
the Super HI-5 (details below).
On this blog, beginning around 1:30 p.m. we will have coverage of today’s Gulfstream
races.
The Rainbow 6 carryover has built up over 32 race days
without the jackpot payoff requirement of just one ticket with the winners
of all six Rainbow 6 races.
On Friday, Gulfstream will have that standard rule
for the
Rainbow 6.
If there are
multiple tickets with all six winners, Gulfstream will have its 20 percent
takeout. It will then divide 56 percent of
the day’s new bet among tickets with the most winners (likely all six races)
and add 24 percent to the carryover.
Saturday will be a mandatory payout day. Gulfstream will pay out the full Rainbow 6 pool, even if there are
multiple tickets with all six winners.
The carryover on Saturday probably will be around $1
million.
HorseRacingFLA’s reviews of past Rainbow 6 cycles
indicate that $2 million or more could be bet on the Rainbow
6 on Saturday.
There is a caveat. If there is just one ticket with all six winners on Friday, it would take down the
jackpot. Gulfstream would then begin a new Rainbow 6 pool on Saturday.
For Friday, the dirt track is listed as fast and the turf course
is listed as firm. The first,
third, fifth and sevenh races are
scheduled for turf.
The Weather Channel forecast is for a 55 percent
chance of scattered thunderstorms during racing hours.
As of 10:30 a.m., Gulfstream had not announced scratches for Friday. If there are no scratches there will be
52 starters in the Rainbow 6 races.
*Coverage on our blog this afternoon will include a recommended
bet on today’s Rainbow 6 and an early look
at Saturday’s card.
*Friday’s first race is 1 1/16 miles on turf for
fillies and mares 3-years-old and up,
with a $16,000 claiming price.
The Super Hi-5 is a $1 minimum bet that requires picking
the first five finishers in correct
order. There are no consolation payoffs such as four places out of five.
