Bauer's Bets: Fast & Firm at Tampa

Should be a good racing day in Oldsmar with clear and cool weather. First post is 12:25 PM for the nine race card.

My Best Bet is in Race 3, a 6 Furlong, $16,000 Maiden Claimer. (3) RUSSIAN ROULETTE should graduate today if she runs back to her debut at Gulfstream, where she lost by only a nose. Red-hot Sammy Camacho rode her that day and returns today. Camacho won a pair of races on opening day, last Saturday.

THE BET: Play RUSSIAN ROULETTE (3) to win and an exacta box with VALLEY GIRL (2) and PHYLLIS DRILLER (6). 2,3,6.
GOOD LUCK!!

GP West Rainbow 6 Pays $1,464.

The payoff on the Rainbow 6 at the Gulfstream Park West meet was $1,464.30 on Sunday, the closing day of the meet that was held at Calder in Miami Gardens.

The attraction of a mandatory payout drew $637,163 of new bets into the Rainbow 6. The carryover coming in was $123,189.

There were 403 tickets with the winning horses on the 20-cent per combination only bet, according to calculations by HorseracingFLA.

Post position numbers of the winning horses were 8-4-5-4-4-9.  Four winners were favorites and the other two winners had odds of 5-2 and 7-1.

The betting pool was the highest in the Rainbow 6 at the 40-day GP West meet, and far surpased last year's final day at G.P. West.


Meet sponsor Gulfstream Park had a mandatory payout of the full coming-in carryover plus 80 percent of the day's new Rainbow 6 bets.

A Florida law prohibits pari-mutuels from extending a carryover into a succeeding meet.  Gulfstream on Saturday Dec.1 will open its 2018-2019 championship meet at its track in Hallandale Beach.

On non-mandatory days, Gulfstream pays out the Rainbow 6 jackpot only if there is just one ticket with six winners.

When there are no such tickets on non-mandatory days Gulfstream takes out 20 percent of the day's Rainbow 6 bets, divides 56 percent among multiple tickets with the most winners (usually  six) and adds 24  percent to the carryover.

GP West Has $123,819 Rainbow 6 Carryover on Mandatory Payout Sunday

The Gulfstream Park Rainbow 6 will have a carryover of $123,819 on Sunday - the closing day  of its meet run at Calder in Miami Gardens.


Meet sponsor Gulfstream Park will have mandatory payouts on the Rainbow 6, the Late Pick 5 and on the tenth and last race's Super Hi-5.

First post is 12:30 p.m. for a ten-race card. The Rainbow 6, a 20-cent per combination only bet, is on races five through ten with the sequence scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m.

Gulfstream on Dec. 1 will open its 2018-2019 championship meet at its track in Hallandale Beach.

A Florida law prohibits a pari-mutuel from extending a carryover into a next race meet.

HorseracingFLA's review of Rainbow 6 data indicates that $500,000 or more could be added to the pool on Sunday, as bettors chase the Rainbow 6 jackpot.


The jackpot  consists of the full carryover plus 80 percent of the day's new Rainbow 6  bet.

On Sunday, Gulfstream will payout the jackpot no matter the number of tickets with all six winning horses.

On most days, it pays out the jackpot only if there is just one ticket with all six winners.

If there are multiple winning tickets on such days, Gulfstream takes out 20 percent, divides 56 percent among tickets with the most winners and adds 24 percent to the carryover.
