Mandatory Payout of Rainbow 6 Pool Sunday at Gulfstream Park

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be held Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is expected to grow to an estimated $275,000 Friday at Gulfstream, where the popular multi-race wager went unsolved Sunday for the 13th racing day following an Aug. 17 mandatory payout.

Friday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, kicked off by a 5 ½-furlong maiden special weight event for fillies and mares on Tapeta in Race 4. Rohan Crichton-trained Happy Bella looms as a popular single for many players off her strong debut performance. After hitting the gate and racing four-wide, the 3-year-old daughter of Flatter closed to finish second, beaten by three-quarters of a length.

One day prior to the mandatory payout, the $220,000 Princess Rooney (G3), a ‘Win and You’re In’ Breeders’ Cup Challenge race, will headline Saturday’s 11-race program with four stakes. The seven-furlong sprint for fillies and mares, which offers a fees-paid berth into the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) Nov. 2 at Del Mar, will be supported by the $100,000 Ginger Punch, $95,000 Bob Umphrey Turf Sprint, and the $95,000 Aventura.
