Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Carryover Passes $100,000

HRFLA Staff Report


After just two days of a new pool, the carryover in the Rainbow 6 has grown to $106,625 at Gulfstream Park.

That money will be on the line Thursday, starting on the fifth race which has a scheduled post of 2:38 p.m.  Gulfstream is guaranteeing that the Rainbow 6 jackpot (full carryover plus 80 percent of the day's new bet) will be at least $300,000 if there is just one ticket with all six winning horses. 

First post will be 12:35 p.m. for Thursday's ten-race card.

On Wednesday, there were eleven tickets with all six Rainbow 6 winners. Each won $11,670.80 on the 20-cents per combination-only bet.

Program numbers of the winning horses were 1-4-6-6-2-3.

The carryover coming in from Sunday, the previous race  day, was $57,333.

Bettors added $204,451 to the Rainbow 6.  Of that, Gulfstream took out 20 percent, divided 56 percent among tickets with six winners and added 24 percent to the carryover.

On Saturday, Gulfstream had a mandatory payoff on the Rainbow 6 jackpot--publicizing in advance that it would pay it all out no matter the number of tickets with all six winners.

The carryover coming in was $1,066,989. Bettors added $5,353,943. HorseRacingFLA's data base on Gulfstream handle shows that was the 14th largest betting day on the Rainbow 6, at least since August 2015.

There were 365 winning tickets, each paying $14,262.86 on a 20-cent bet.

Program numbers of the winning horses were 4-3-7-3-3-3.
