In
Friday's racing action, the Rainbow 6 carryover continued to grow.
Twenty-one bettors pocketed $4,692.46 each on the $0.20 wager. The
carryover is now $775,288, with a $1,000,000 gross pool guarantee if one
winner hits the jackpot. There is also a $1 million Late Pick 5
guaranteed pool (see the side graphic). Post time is 3:30 pm for the Rainbow 6; Race #9.
Gulfstream also announced a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 wager in Sunday's racing. So look for some huge pools going into that wager both Saturday and Sunday if there is a carryover from Saturday.
This is the first year in 7 that I don't have my colleage Jim Freer at the helm handicapping the Florida Derby races here on HorseRacingFLA.com.
May you Rest in Peace Jimbo !
