The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is estimated to reach $600,000 when the Championship Meet resumes with a 10-race program Thursday at Gulfstream Park.
Thursday’s sequence spans Races 5-10 and includes a maiden special weight for 3-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles on the main track in Race 6 where five of the six entrants each fetched six figures at auction led by Song of Sarah, a chestnut daughter of Hall of Famer Curlin that cost $500,000 as a 2-year-old in training and ran fifth in her Jan. 4 debut at Gulfstream.
An optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds scheduled at 7 ½ furlongs on the turf in Race 7 serves as the Thursday feature. Carbourg races for the first time as a gelding and debuts on grass after most recently running seventh as the pacesetter in the Jan. 3 Mucho Macho Man. Jose D’Angelo-trained stablemate Bronze Bullet will also try turf after three starts on the all-weather Tapeta course, the last disqualified from first to second in the Nov. 28 Pulpit.
Immortalised, Zucchero, Sure to Appeal and Doctrine all exit victories. Zucchero won on the front end at the course and distance Dec. 5 and returns as a gelding for trainer Brian Lynch, while Brad Cox-trained Doctrine cuts back after capturing a one-mile maiden special weight on the Gulfstream turf in debut Jan. 4.
The Rainbow 6 has gone unsolved for nine consecutive racing days following multiple mandatory payouts of $71,527.20 on the Jan. 24 Pegasus World Cup program. Since the Championship Meet opened Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, the largest jackpot payout was $416,348.44 Jan. 8.
Thursday will also mark the daily start of the Tropical Turf Pick 3 wager at Gulfstream. Previously offered Friday through Sunday, the $3 wager with a 15 percent takeout will cover the last three grass races on each live program. If the races are taken off the turf, the wager transfers over to the all-weather Tapeta course.
