Gulfstream Off the Turf on Saturday

Due to periodic heavy rains over the last  several days, there will be  no  turf racing at  Gulfstream Park on Saturday.

The first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh  races were  scheduled for the turf.  Those races have been moved to the dirt track that is  listed as Sloppy and is sealed.

First post is 12:45 p.m.  for  the  12-race card.  We will have a list  of  late scratches when it is available.

Gulfstream's Saturday: 12 Races, Rain, Rainbow 6

Gulfstream Park plans a 12:45 first post today, with rain and thunderstorms expected during most of the racing.

There is one stakes races listed. It’s the $100,000 Ginger Punch Stakes, a 1-1/16 mile turf race for Fla.-bred 3 year fillies and mares.

Midnight Soiree is the M/L favorite at 5:2. It’s a 2:50 PM start with 11 entries listed, including also-eligibles.


Friday’s racing weather resulted in 2 of 4 races off turf. Just 67 starters ran 9 races, as the rains started in race 4. With the rain and sloppy-sealed track, the favorites had a hard time getting wins. None-the-less, the bettors were lucky in the late races – in number, not dollars! The Rainbow 6 payout below is not a typo!

Here are Friday’s late race payouts.
Late Pick 4 paid: $76.95
Late Pick 5 paid: 550.50
Rainbow 6 paid: $25.74 to about 5,500 winners.

The last low-pay here was Jan.24th at $23.22 to about 5,700 bettors. Two of 5 races were Off-Turf then.

The Rainbow 6 pool was $254,878, where GP paid out 56% to the multiple RB6 ticket holders.


Carryovers:
The sole carryover is the Rainbow 6 (Pick 6) wager, at $2,402,864 to be run about 3:52 PM with race #7.
Good Luck, and stay dry!
