GP Friday: Super Hi-5 Carryover is $41,457; Monday Card Set for Memorial Day

HRFLA Staff  Report

Gulfstream Park will have a carryover of $41,457 on its Super Hi-5 when it resumes racing on Friday.

The Hallandale Beach, Fla., track will have nine Friday races with first post of 2:00 p.m.

Gulfstream wagering history indicates that as much as $200,000 could be bet on a Super Hi-5 with an overnight carryover as large as on Friday.

The Super Hi-5 is scheduled for Friday's first race, at 1 1/16 miles on turf.  It is a $35,000 maiden claiming race with a $35,000 purse for fillies 3-years-old and up.

Gulfstream usually has racing on Thursdays through Sundays during its Spring/Summer meet.

This week, it is dark on Thursday and is adding a race day on Monday May 31 which is Memorial Day. 

Gulfstream has the Super Hi-5 on all races with seven or more starters.

On Friday, we suggest that bettors should handicap ahead for several races and not just the first race on the Super-Hi 5.

The first race on Friday has seven entrants. If one or more horses are scratched, the Super Hi-5 will not be offered until the next race with seven or more starters.

Friday's second race has just six entrants, and the third race has eight entrants.

The Super Hi-5 is a $1 minimum bet, and requires picking the first five finishers in exact order. There are no consolation payoffs, such as four out of five.

The Super Hi-5 has a 17 percent takeout. If there are no winning  tickets, 83 percent of the bet is carried over to next race with the Super  Hi-5.

On Sunday, Gulfstream's most recent race day, there were no winning Super Hi-5 tickets on the last two races. That led to the carryover for Friday.

The link will update when scratches and other cxhanges ae announced. It has click-ons for handicappig material.  Some is free. Some. including past performances, is at cost.

The Friday carryover on the Rainbow 6 is $190,483.

The 20 cents per combination-only bet is on races four to nine with the sequence scheduled to start at 3:32 p.m.

Gulfstream is guaranteeing that the payout will be at least $400,000 if there is just one ticket with the winners of all six races.

If there are multiple winning tickets, Gulfstream will take out 20 percent of the day's Rainbow 6 bet. Of the remainder, Gulfstream will divide 56 percent among the tickets with six winners and add 24 percent to the carryover.
