Gulfstream Thursday Racing; 12:30 PM Post Time

by Horse Racing FLA Staff
Gulfstream Park plans a 9-race Thursday.

First post time is 12:30 PM.
No stakes races are planned on the Thursday card.

The sole carryover today is $28,371 on the Rainbow 6 wager.

That wager starts in race 4 at approximately 2:02 PM.

On Wednesday, there were 85 tickets winning the Rainbow-6, each collecting $779.70. No bettor had all 6 horses, so the payout was for 5 of 6. Forty-five runners participated in the races, and the highest odds winner was the 46:1 horse, Natural Power, who edged out HarrysOnTheLoose at the wire in race 7.
Extravagant Kid, the 6/5 favorite finished 6th in the eight horse field.

Just one favorite won in the last 6 races. That was enough of a hurdle to frustrate 
the bettors.

Wagering on the Rainbow 6 was $118,220.
All sources track handle was $5.92 million Wednesday.

BAUER'S WEDNESDAY BETS: FAST & FIRM at TAMPA

 By Bob Bauer

Today's nine race program kicks off February's racing action. The first Post time is scheduled for 12:15 PM.

Tampa Bay Downs has live racing every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (except Easter), until closing day May 7.

The feature is RACE 9, Post time is 4:18 PM. Live coverage on RadioStPete.com, including the call from announcer Jason Beam starts at 4:15.

The nightcap brings together a wide open field of older Fillies and Mares sprinting five furlongs on the turf. The conditions are $16,000 NW1X Optional Claiming.

KONA KAI (1) at 8/1 on the Morning Line is a good bet at half that price. This five-year old Mare, a daughter of PALICE MALICE, might have a major form reversal today. Players should ignore her last pair of dull races after a fourteen month-layoff. The first on November 21 was in the slop at Churchill, the second was under today's conditions vs. a field of colts. She's back with the girls today, gets blinkers and top jock Samy Camacho on the mount. Has a pair of local works on January 12 and 27. The last one a "bullet" 36.3 breezing.

THE BET:  $20 win and place on KONA KAI (1) ($40) and a $2 three-horse exacta box ($12) with that one and FORT DRUM (3) and LADY JEAN (6)  1,3,6.   Total Bet $52     GOOD LUCK!

PREVIOUS RESULTS  1/30/22:  Lost $32, the win bet was third, had first and third in the exacta. The bankroll is now $992.

Sunday at Gulfstream; Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout; 12:00 Noon Post

 

Gulfstream Park plans an 11 race program Sunday.

First post time is 12:00 PM.
No stakes races are planned on the Sunday card.

Gulfstream announced they are forcing the Rainbow 6 payout today. The mandatory payout means the full carryover of $727,306 and the wagering for Sunday will be paid out regardless of the number of winning wagers.

This is in the recent norm to force the payout when the carryover approached $1 million.
Yesterday on Pegasus World Cup Invitational Day, $1.18 million was bet on the Rainbow 6, but the payout was a measly $77.68 for a 6 of 6 winner. Why? Five of six of those races were won by the odds-on favorite! Just the Fred W. Hooper Stakes in race 10 winner was the outlier when Speaker's Corner beat Fearless by 1-1/4 lengths.

Our quick math shows about 8,500 tickets won the Rainbow Saturday.

The Pegasus Day wagering All-Sources handle at Gulfsteam totalled $43.88 million. That was a gain of $3.1 million over last year's Pegasus Day, about an 8% increase.
