GP West: Nine Races Sunday and Monday, Noon Post

The Gulfstream Park West meet,, held at Calder in Miami Gardens, Fla., has a nine-race card on Sunday with first post at 12:00  p.m.

It will be the same on Monday--nine races and 12:00 p.m. first post for a special Columbus Day card.

There are no stakes races either day.

A main attraction on Sunday is the Rainbows 6, with a carryover of $66,584.  The 20-cent per combination-only bet is on races four to nine, with the sequence scheduled to start at 1:44 p.m.

We will have a more detailed preview later this morning on this blog, after track conditions are av ailable.

Rainbow 6 Opener Won by 2-1 Shot

Three Deep (14), at 2-1, won Saturday's fourth race at Gulfstream Park West to  start the Rainbow 6.

The carryover coming in was $52,404.

Bettors added $59,151 to the Rainbow 6.

Gulfstream has guaranteed that today's Rainbow 6 jackpot payoff will be at least $100,000 if there is just one ticket with all six winning horses.

That is approximately what is in the jackpot if it is hit today--the entire carryover plus 80  percent of the day's new Rainbow 6 bet.

We will have a wrap-up at the end of today's races.

Rainbow 6 Coming Up at Gulfstream

The fourth race is coming up  at Gulfstream Park West with scheduled post at 1:44 p.m.

With racing off the turf, there are numerous scratches (see previous post).  But the six races still have 58 entrants.

The dirt track is listed as Sloppy, for now.  If you are just in early stages of handicapping, there is still time to get serious on the Late Pick 5--starting with the fifth race.
