Gulfstream Rainbow 6 Carryover Reaches $42,453

Gulfstream Park will have a carryover of $42,453 on its Rainbow 6 on Thursday.

Gulfstream will have a nine-race card with first post of 1:15 p.m.  The Rainbow 6 will be on races four to nine, with the sequence scheduled to start at 2:43 p.m.

On Wednesday, there were 185 tickets with the winners in all six Rainbow 6 races. Each of those tickets received $129.38.

HorseRacingFLA’s review of Equibase charts shows that was the 11th lowest Rainbow 6 payoff at Gulfstream since we began tracking that data  in August 2015.

The low  payoff came on a  day when the odds on the six winning horses were: 1-1, 8-5, 5-2, 6-5, 3-2 and 5-2.

Wednesday was the third straight race day with multiple winning tickets in the Rainbow 6—thus continuing the carryover.
Gulfstream pays out the Rainbow 6  jackpot only on days when there is just one ticket 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 days with multiple winning tickets, Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day’s Rainbow 6 bet. It then divides 56 percent of the day’s Rainbow 6 bet among tickets with the most winners (usually six) and adds 24 percent to the carryover.

On Wednesday, the carryover coming in was $32,283. Bettors added $42,212 to the Rainbow 6 pool.

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.

Abel Tasman Wins Kentucky Oaks

Abel Tasman, in 14th and last place after   a half mile, staged a huge rally and won the $1 million Kentucky  Oaks (Grade 1) on Friday. 

Mike Smith rode Abel Tasman, who is trained by Bob Baffert.

Their win in the 1 1/8 mile stakes for 3-year-old fillies came in the rain on a sloppy and sealed track.

Daddy's Lil Darling finished second, also rallying from back in the pack.  Julien Leparoux rode her for trainer Ken McPeek.

The odds were 9-1 on  Abel Tasman and 12-1 on Daddy's Lil Darling.

The $2 exacta paid $203.00.

Kentucky Oaks--A Final Look


The Kentucky Oaks is  coming up with a scheduled post at 6;12  p.m. on a  sloppy  and  sealed track.

Our handicapper  Bob Bauer is calling it in this order:  Paradise Woods  (4), Miss Sky Warrior  (10), Abel Tasman (13)  and Farrell (7).

Bob says to look out for Farrell because she has two  wins on off tracks. She also  has early speed,
which for the most part has been needed to hit  the  board on the sloppy dirt today.

But in the ninth race, an optional claimer for older  males, 31-1 shot Task Force Glory rallied from tenth place after a half mile and moved up along the rail for the win.  It was a 1 1/16 mile optional claimer on dirt for older males.

That might hold out some hope for Salty in post 14.  Salty won the 1 /16 mile Gulfstream Park Oaks  (Grade 2) on April 1.

She has  a closing style, and might be  good  enough to hit the  board today.
