The 20-cent Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $1.1 million for Wednesday’s nine-race program at Gulfstream Park.
Wednesday’s Rainbow 6 sequence spans Races 4-9, kicked off by a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight for 4-year-olds and up that includes a pair of six-figure yearlings from 2019 – Grandview Equine, Cheyenne Stable and LNJ Foxwoods’ Scalding, trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, who ran second Dec. 2 at Aqueduct in his second start; and Boama Corporation’s Unexpected, third Dec. 17 at Gulfstream in his unveiling for trainer Eddie Plesa Jr.
Race 5 is an optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up scheduled for 1 1/16 miles on the grass that drew an overflow field of 16 led by Arturo Toscanini, Group 3-placed in Ireland making his U.S. debut; local stakes winner Louder Than Bombs, twice Grade 3-placed; and Ginsburned, third in the Bruce D (G1) last August at Arlington Park.
The sequence wraps up in Race 9, an optional claiming allowance for 4-year-olds and up set to sprint five furlongs on the turf. Dubai Key, a Group 3 winner in Chile, was a front-running winner of his North American debut Nov. 13 at Gulfstream going five furlongs on the Tapeta surface. Elusive Mischief is a stakes winner on both turf and dirt for trainer Ian Wilkes.
