Mandatory Rainbow 6 Payout Set for Sunday at Gulfstream

A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is set for Sunday at Gulfstream Park, where the popular multi-race wager has gone unsolved for 10 racing days following a mandatory payout.

Should the Rainbow 6 go unsolved again on Saturday, the Sunday’s jackpot pool is expected to grow to an estimated $3 million. In the Rainbow 6, the carryover pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day’s pool usually goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. On Mandatory days, the entire jackpot pool will be disbursed to the bettor or bettors with tickets including the most winners.

Sunday’s Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 4-9, kicked off by a five-furlong maiden special weight for 3-year-olds and up on turf in Race 4. Trainer Lisa Lewis is represented by a pair of entrants in the seemingly well-matched field of eight – Deep Dusk, the 5-2 morning-line favorite who closed well to finish fourth after a tardy start under Sunday’s conditions last time out, and first-time starter Fleeting Star, a 3-year-old daughter of Volatile who has been training forwardly at Palm Meadows for her debut. Back to Gridlock, winless in four well-spread-out starts for trainer Chad Brown, is rated second at 3-1 in his first start for trainer Colin Maragh. Woodspoint cuts back to five furlongs after fading late at a mile last time out.
