Gulfstream Park will kick off 2026 with a 10-race holiday program Thursday featuring three stakes, two for newly turned 3-year-olds, and a 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool estimated to reach $
First race post time is 12:20 p.m.
The Rainbow 6 covers Races 5-10 and opens with a starter optional claimer sprinting five furlongs on the all-weather Tapeta course where multiple stakes winner and twice graded-stakes placed 8-year-old Winfromwithin looks to snap a winless streak dating back to his victory in the 2022 Red Bank at Monmouth Park. Fulanito, unraced since mid-July, has been third or better in seven of 10 career starts.
Race 8 is the $175,000 Cash Run for sophomore fillies going a one-turn mile on the main track. Dunmore Beach, co-bred and owned by Gainesway Stable, cuts back and tries dirt for the first time off a dominant maiden triumph Nov. 29 on the Woodbine synthetic. Nycon and Jetty’s Home also exit wins, and Vita Mia is stakes-placed on turf and dirt.
Fillies and mares 4 and up will go 1 1/8 miles on the Tapeta in Race 9, the $100,000 Key West overnight handicap. Design has won two straight and three of four racing on turf and synthetic for trainer Marty Drexler. Dancing N Dixie, a dual stakes winner placed five times in graded company, races first time for trainer Bobby Dibona. Multiple stakes winner Charlie’s Wish makes her first start since mid-October. Oshala, turning 5, went 5-for-8 in 2025 in her first season of racing.
The Race 10 finale is the $175,000 Dania Beach for 3-year-old fillies scheduled for a two-turn mile on the grass. Glorious Boy exits a 3 ½-length dead-heat victory in an off-the-turf edition of the Pulpit Nov. 28. Alpyland ended the year with back-to-back wins, the latter at the course and distance Dec. 7. Truman’s Commander, well-beaten in two prior stakes attempts, bounced back with a front-running score going a mile on the Tampa Bay Downs turf Dec. 6.
In the Rainbow 6, the jackpot 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 goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fourth consecutive racing day since multiple mandatory payouts of $2,390.64 Dec. 21.
