Friday's Gulfstream Racing; 9 Races - 1:05 Post Time

 

Gulfstream Park will run nine races Friday, with a first post at 1:05 p.m.

No stakes races are planned as we approach the Kentucky Derby next weekend, May 7th.

 

On Thursday, a single winner collected on the Rainbow 6 wager, earning $182,098.62.

The carryover coming into Thursday was $130,033. Wagering was $65,091 on the Rainbow 6. After the tracks 20% takeout, that left $52,073 to add to the carryover for the pool size. That totals the $182,100 or so for the jackpot win.

Race 7 was the long-odds trip when Sara Mia (9:1) won by a neck in the 6 horse field. The favorite finished 3rd. One favorite won in the Rainbow races. Program winner numbers were: 9-1/3/6-6-1-4-10.

This was just day 6 on the racing days since the last Rainbow Jackpot on April 16th. The Carryover is reset to zero Friday, but Gulfstream is guaranteed at least $50,000 gross pool for Friday's wagering.

All sources track handle was $3.32 million Thursday, the lowest tally this meet thus far that started April 7th.
