Gulfstream's Sunday; 14 Races, Mandatory Pick 6 Payout; 12 Noon Post Time

 

Gulfstream Park has a 14-race card scheduled for Sunday. First post is at 12:00 PM.

There are two stakes races on the card. Race 6; the Soldier's Dance, and Ginger Punch. It is for three y/o and up; 7-1/2 furlongs on the turf. The purse is $65,000. Soldier's Dance stakes will  be run in race 13. The 9th through 14th races are the Rainbow 6 races, starting at approximately 4:15 PM.
Gulfstream is cramming the race card full-up due to last weekend's cancellations due to weather. Fourteen race days are rare outside of major events like the Florida Derby, Fountain of Youth and Summit of Speed.

Gulfstream also announced a mandatory payout of the Rainbow 6 pool on Sunday. Gulfstream is not providing a guarantee, but estimating a $4 million pool. The carryover is $604,102.

In Saturday's 14 races, 64 bettors were paid $1,167.00 each on the Rainbow 6 win. Race 12 was taken off the turf late, so bettors got the ALL, which lowered the bar to win the wager. Fifty horses ran in the last 6 races.

Two favorites won in the Rainbow 6 races.
Total runners entering the gate was 133 Saturday.

Total all-sources track handle was a huge $11.4 million.

Thursday's Gulfstream; 1:05 PM Post, Carryovers

 

Gulfstream Park has an 8 races card scheduled for Thursday. First post is at 1:05 PM, and the last post is 4:53 PM. Recall that last weekend's races were cancelled due to Tropical Storm Alex.

There are no stakes races on the day. The 3rd through 8th races are the Rainbow 6 races, starting at approximately 2:13 PM.

The two carryovers on the day are the Rainbow 6 at $525,978, and the Super Hi-5 at $3,866. Gulfstream is guaranteeing a $700,000 gross pool on the Rainbow 6 if wagering + the carryover does not total that amount.

 

In last Friday's (6/3) racing action, 7 winners hit the Rainbow 6, each pocketing a tidy sum of $6,701.04. Two favorites won in the Rainbow 6 races, and the 15:1 Check the Grade was the longshot win in race 10. The late Pick 5 paid $4,017.45 to about 12 winners also. The Super High-5 wager should be a bet in race #1, as 8 starters are listed. Seven is the minimum for this $1 wager. 

 

All three turf races were moved to the All-Weather track for safety reasons.

 

Bettors added $81,254 to the wagering, with 44 horses running in the Rainbow 6.
